A voyage in Greece enables you to see multiple destinations that boast a rich history, magnificent coastlines, and iconic whitewashed buildings while also enjoying all that a cruise offers onboard your ship. Take advantage of shore excursions to get the most out of your visit to this ancient land of beauty.

Olympic Fever in Olympia

As the site of the very first Olympic Games, in Ancient Olympia, the famed events live on forever. Channel your inner athlete amidst the ruins, including the stadium, before heading to the nearby Archaeological Museum of Olympia. It offers more insight on the Olympic Games that took place every four years from 776 BC to 393 AD.

Antiquities in Athens

Pre- or post-cruise, a visit to the legendary Acropolis, the UNESCO World Heritage site built in 5th century BC, and the museum that holds many of its treasures are the must-visit attractions while in Athens.

Views & Vintages on Santorini

Oia, Santorini’s whitewashed village that lines sea cliffs, offers multiple iconic selfie moments amidst its narrow streets and steps filled with shops and restaurants.
