Legendary Aegean - 9 Nights

We leave the historic and classical capital of Greece and set sail on our overnight voyage to Santorini. Your first night will give you the opportunity to relax, indulge in our Inclusive hospitality and anticipate the adventures ahead on your very own voyage of discovery.

We arrive in Santorini, whose stunning face is instantly recognisable across the world. We’re sure she will take your breath away, with her soaring landscapes, clusters of whitewashed houses in the capital Fira, and of course the iconic blue-domed church at Oia. Don’t forget to try one of the many restaurants jostling for position at the edge of the caldera.

Our itinerary allows us a whole day here which gives plenty of opportunity to discover the clear waters, wonderful beaches and lush wooded valleys.

There is no place on earth like Istanbul. The Greeks, Romans, Venetians and Ottomans have all held sway over this city that straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus, between the sea of Armara and the Black Sea. You can see the stunning Sultan Ahmet (Blue) Mosque, Church of Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi Palace, Galata bridge, Taksim Square, and of course the incomparable Grand Bazaar. And all this just touches the surface of the place once known as Byzantium and Constantinople. There will be plenty of time to enjoy the great food in one of the many buzzing restaurants.

Soak up the city in the Mediterranean
that never sleeps, and never has.
Before you join us onboard, explore
Istanbul’s rich mix of bustling markets, vibrant back streets and countless landmarks. Everywhere you turn, spice aromas and eclectic architecture will
pique your interest. When you join us, we embark on a voyage of discovery, and you get your first taste of a Celestyal dining experience.

With a rich history stretching back to ancient times, Chios’ mysteries and beauty capture hearts and minds. This ancient island is rumored to be the birthplace of the legendary ancient poet Homer, with the Daskalopetra, or Teacher’s Stone, marking the spot where he taught his students and narrated his poems.

Rugged white cliffs soar towards the sky, crystal beaches magically appear, and lush green landscapes stretch as far as the eye can see – Kos island is a beauty to behold. Once you step foot on its shores, you can discover a bounty of ancient monuments, pristine beaches, and rustic mountain villages.

The island, according to Greek mythology, was formed by the bodies of giants slain by Hercules. The most recognisable site on Mykonos is the row of immaculate picture postcard white windmills overlooking the water. Every visitor takes that picture. The Old Town has many delightful cafes and tavernas along its winding alleys and time will pass very quickly in these lovely, relaxing surroundings.

We return to the capital in the morning after an exciting journey of discovery.
While your cruise may be drawing to an end, the tantalising city of Athens still lies ahead. Delve deep into the city’s sidestreets, bursting with life and culture.
