5-Star The Best of Greece Cruise
Discover the ancient wonders and sun-drenched islands of the Aegean on this seven-night Greece cruise. Departing from Dublin, this holiday offers a straightforward and well-organised way to experience the best of the eastern Mediterranean. You will travel aboard the five-star Celebrity Infinity, a vessel known for its quality service, comfortable surroundings, and award-winning dining. This is a full-board experience, meaning your meals on the ship are included, allowing you to focus entirely on the incredible destinations you will visit.
Your journey begins in Athens, the cradle of Western civilisation. After your flight from Dublin, you will be transferred to the port of Piraeus to board your ship. The Celebrity Infinity recently underwent a significant update, featuring a chic Rooftop Terrace where guests can enjoy ‘A Taste of Film’—an outdoor cinema experience under the stars. For those who enjoy fine dining, the ship offers a variety of venues, including the rustic Tuscan Grille, which serves fresh pasta and dry-aged steaks.
The first port of call on your Greece cruise is Mykonos. This island is famous for its iconic windmills and the charming narrow streets of its main town. It is a fantastic place for a stroll, with plenty of local shops and seaside cafes. From here, the ship crosses to Kusadasi on the Turkish coast. This is the gateway to Ephesus, one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world. Visitors can walk the marble-paved streets and see the grand Library of Celsus, gaining a real sense of what life was like in Roman times.
After a relaxing day at sea, you will arrive at the island of Rhodes. The highlight here is the medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Enclosed by massive stone walls, the city is a maze of cobbled lanes and historic architecture from the time of the Knights of St John. Next, the ship sails to Santorini, famous for its dramatic volcanic cliffs and whitewashed villages. The views from the towns of Fira or Oia across the blue caldera are some of the most recognisable in the world.
The final stop before returning to Athens is the peaceful island of Hydra. Because cars and motorcycles are not allowed on the island, it has a wonderfully quiet and traditional feel. It is the perfect place to enjoy a coffee by the crescent-shaped harbour and watch the world go by. This Greece cruise is designed for travellers who appreciate a blend of historical discovery and relaxation. With flights, transfers, taxes, and a 20kg checked bag all included, this trip offers excellent value for a high-quality Mediterranean holiday.
