Day 1 - Limassol

Arrive: Wed 09 July 2025 / Depart: Wed 09 July 2025 at 23:00

For those who want to shop – and those who want to explore – the main seaport of Limassol offers lots of opportunities. Limassol is the place to discover the real traditions of Cypriot life. Search through traditional old boutiques for curios, sample the island's famous whisky-sour drink in dark inns, visit the medieval Limassol Castle, or find authentic Cypriot crafts in the Folk Art Museum.

Day 2 - At Sea

Day 3 - Athens

Arrive: Fri 11 July 2025 at 09:00 / Depart: Fri 11 July 2025 at 18:00

Surrounded by beautiful hills, Athens offers a blend of traditional Greek culture and modern hustle and bustle. From the ancient marketplace of Agora to glass-faced skyscrapers, it is quite simply unforgettable.

Day 4 - Santorini

Arrive: Sat 12 July 2025 at 08:00 / Depart: Sat 12 July 2025 at 18:00

Prepare to fall head over heels for this sun-blushed beauty. Santorini is the very essence of Greek charm. Sugar-cube houses cling to the cliffs. Vivid blue church domes add a splash of colour. And steep cliff-sides tumble into an impossibly clear sea. Just beautiful.......

Day 5 - Bodrum

Arrive: Sun 13 July 2025 at 08:00 / Depart: Sun 13 July 2025 at 18:00

Modern Bodrum is a bit like St-Tropez, only with belly dancers. Mega-yachts slide into the town’s twin harbours. Celebs lunch in trendy waterfront eateries. And bronze-limbed beauties lounge at wood-decked beach clubs. What’s the draw? For a start, the stop-and-stare scenery – think whitewashed houses dripping in bougainvillea, and olive-green hillsides melting into the Aegean. Then there’s the history – this place is home to one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World. And, of course, there’s its traditional Turkish charm. Bodrum’s jet-set following and blow-out night scene may have catapulted the place into the 21st century, but bazaars, belly dancing and backgammon are still the mainstay of life.......

Day 6 - Heraklion

Arrive: Mon 14 July 2025 at 08:00 / Depart: Mon 14 July 2025 at 17:00

Today, Heraklion is a city of contrasts where old meets new - ancient Byzantine churches sit in perfect harmony against the modern skyline. Crete's capital, Heraklion, is the cultural and commercial hub of the island. It's taken on a vibrant, cosmopolitan air and brims with pavement cafes, sophisticated bars, elegant boutiques and intimate tavernas. Traditional Cretan life can still be seen in the winding backstreets and alleyways that surround the old harbour.

Day 7 - Rhodes

Arrive: Tue 15 July 2025 at 08:00 / Depart: Tue 15 July 2025 at 14:00

Pack your beach towel, your sunblock and your camera, The third largest Greek island and one of the sunniest places in Europe also features Rhodes Town. Combining cosmopolitan charm with medieval sights, Rhodes Town has all the sun, sea, sand and attractions you could wish for. Wander through the Old Town to see the Palace of the Grand Masters, decked with mosaics, sculptures and antiques. Call in at the 15th century Knights of St John Hospital, now a splendid archaeological museum which houses the statue of Aphrodite of Rhodes. Continue down to the beaches and find the Street of the Artists, where artists share pavement space with open air cafes. And for the best view of the town and harbour, take a taxi to the top of Monte Smith, crowned by a 3rd century BC stadium.

Day 8 - Limassol

Arrive: Wed 16 July 2025 at 08:00 / Depart: Wed 16 July 2025

Marella Discovery 2 From Marella Cruises

In summer 2017, Marella Discovery 2 joined our fleet. Marella Discovery 2 is the sister ship to Marella Discovery – and this is why their names are so similar. Having two ships means you’re able to pair a wider choice of itineraries with the exciting features offered by this larger, more contemporary style of vessel. These include an outdoor cinema, a rock climbing wall, a minigolf course, an indoor pool and a glossy atrium. Not to mention the range of bars, excellent dining scene and night-time shows enhanced by up-to-the-minute technology. Just like Marella Discovery, Marella Discovery 2 is All Inclusive as standard. So, drinks, including prosecco and cider, meals in a selection of restaurants and most onboard activities are included in the cruise price. Flights and tips are both part of the package, too.
