Cruises to Greece and Greek Isles

As the gateway to Greece’s capital, Piraeus leads you straight into Athens’ ancient heart, where landmarks like the Acropolis, Parthenon and Temple of Olympian Zeus tell the story of Western civilization’s beginnings. Between archaeological marvels, lively markets and vibrant cafés, the city offers a captivating blend of history and modern life.

Katakolon is the gateway to Ancient Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games. Walk the ancient stadium, explore the ruins of the Temple of Zeus and visit the Archaeological Museum — one of Greece's most rewarding archaeological sites.

Famous for its whitewashed villages and dramatic volcanic cliffs, Santorini enchants visitors with much more than postcard views. Explore the remarkably preserved ancient ruins of Akrotiri, swim at black, red and white sand beaches unlike any other in Greece, and sample the island's celebrated Assyrtiko and Mavrotragano wines from hillside vineyards overlooking the caldera.

Corfu combines Venetian architecture, emerald hills and turquoise waters. Cruise guests can stroll through the UNESCO-listed Old Town, sample olive oils or relax on scenic Ionian beaches.

Mykonos is perhaps best known for its iconic windmills — 16 in total, with seven perched dramatically on a hilltop in Chora, most dating back to the 16th century. Beyond the landmark views, the island delivers cosmopolitan energy, golden beaches, boutique shopping and seaside dining, with Little Venice's waterfront cafés offering one of the most picturesque spots in the Aegean.

Located on the island of Crete, Chania captivates with its Venetian harbor, colorful old town and rich Cretan traditions. It’s the perfect place to explore local markets, ancient ruins and authentic Mediterranean cuisine.

Crete's capital pairs a vibrant waterfront city with easy access to the Palace of Knossos, the legendary center of Minoan civilization just outside town. The city's Archaeological Museum, Venetian harbor fortress and celebrated Cretan food scene make it well worth exploring beyond the port.

Step into the past on Rhodes, where medieval walls and cobblestone streets meet crystal-clear beaches. The Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, showcases centuries of Greek, Byzantine and Crusader influence.
