Athens is the starting point for this voyage from Greece to Malta, calling at Turkey, too. We head south to the breathtaking island of Santorini, known for its blue-domed churches and white cube dwellings clinging to the edge of a sunken volcano, as well as its distinctive wines and stunning sunsets. We then continue north-east to the cosmopolitan seaside resort of Bodrum for a taste of the Turkish high life. Browse in the traditional bazaars and contemporary shops, or visit the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, the ruins of an elaborate tomb dating back to 350 BCE. A day at sea heading west brings the chance to relax and sample the ship’s spa and restaurants, before disembarking in Valletta, Malta’s history-filled capital.

Itinerary

01.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

ATH

sep 15, 2026

departure 7:00 PM

Piraeus (Athens), Greece picture
Experience the vibrant and historic port of Piraeus, Athens gateway to the Aegean islands and beyond, and find a rich maritime heritage, a bustling local culture, and access to the wonders of Athens. Venture through Greece's largest port city, Piraeus, as you make your way to the cradle of Western culture and the birthplace of democracy. Athens, among the world's oldest cities with a history spanning 3,400 years, has long been the location of myth and muse, and its ancient heritage is still an incredible source of inspiration. Here, the Acropolis crowns the city as home to the Parthenon and other legendary temples and monuments.

Santorini, Greece picture
Santorini is a breathtaking island in the southern Aegean Sea known for its iconic blue-domed churches, picturesque whitewashed buildings, and stunning sunsets. Of all the Cyclades Islands, Santorini is often considered the most dramatic with its dark landscape and iconic whitewashed buildings. The rich soil is ideal for grapes and local vines produce a cherished crop known for its special volcanic taste. Picturesque Thira, or Fira Town, laid out along the edge of a cliff at the rim of the now extinct caldera, exudes an easy charm.

Bodrum, Turkey picture
Today, its Old Town is alive with contemporary shops and traditional bazaars that teem with locals and visitors, surrounded by lively cafés. But this charming “old” quarter is infantile compared to one of Bodrum's most important sites: the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. Dating back to 350 B.C., the 140-foot white marble structure still captivates even the savviest scientists, ranking as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
