How much does a cruise to the Greek islands cost?

The price depends on the number of nights of the cruise, the type of cabin, the period you are travelling and the company you have chosen. For those who want to save money without sacrificing comfort, we recommend booking at least 1 year in advance; companies usually have very advantageous offers reserved for those who book their Greek cruise in advance.

What tour do cruises in the Greek islands take?

The Greek islands offer dreamy beaches but that's not all: discover picturesque towns, cities of art, culture and world-famous architecture. In fact, a visit to the Acropolis of Athens with its majestic temples is not to be missed. Most cruise ships stop in Mykonos and one in Santorini, the most famous of the Greek islands.You can buy souvenirs, visit ancient donkey towns or dive into dream beaches!

Cruises to the Greek islands depart from the main ports of the Adriatic Sea: Venice, Trieste, Ancona, Bari and Brindisi but these are not the only ones. Generally the duration of a cruise is 7 nights but it depends on the needs of every person. There are itineraries of longer duration or mini cruises for an original weekend.

Greek islands cruise, which ship to choose?

Ships offering cruises to the Greek islands cannot be too large in size, so you can get close to the small islands and sail smoothly even in the shallowest waters. For example, we recommend MSC Opera, Costa Pacifica, Explorer Of The Seas or Norwegian Jade. There are many exclusive companies with small luxury yachts that offer itineraries to discover the less touristy and more authentic islands: for example, if you want a wellness vacation, travel with Celestyal Cruises, Variety Cruises or Explora Journeys is the best choice.

Greek islands cruise, when to go?

Cruises to the Greek islands usually take place from March to November. The best months for a cruise to Greece are May, June and September: the prices are low, the weather is pleasantly mild and you are not likely to find queues and crowds. For those who want maximum savings and relaxed sightseeing October and November are certainly the best months. July and August are definitely the most popular months; we recommend booking in advance to find the best cabins and excursions available.

A bit disappointed, upon our arrival at the various ports there were another 3 or 4 ships docked, so a lot of confusion and chaos, and we couldn’t even manage to visit some places!
