Athens to Barcelona 5* Cruise

Irish holidaymakers looking for a brilliant way to see the Mediterranean will find exactly what they need on this Athens Barcelona cruise. This seven-night voyage takes place aboard the Sun Princess, a modern vessel designed to offer comfort and variety as you sail from the cradle of Western civilisation to the heart of Catalonia. Starting in Piraeus, the port for Athens, you will embark on a journey that balances historical exploration with plenty of time to relax and enjoy the sea air on this Cruise holiday.

The Sun Princess itself is a major part of the holiday experience. Irish guests will enjoy the unique features of this ship, such as The Piazza, which is built into a massive sphere of glass and offers views of the ocean from every angle. For evening entertainment, The Dome provides a multipurpose space where you can enjoy acrobatic performances under the stars, while the Princess Arena provides a technologically advanced setting for production shows. If you are travelling with family, the Park19 area offers plenty of activities to keep everyone busy, from climbing and gliding to simply lounging in the sunshine.

Your itinerary is packed with highlights. After leaving Athens, your first stop is the world-famous island of Santorini. This destination is known for its white buildings and blue-domed churches that cling to the cliffs above the volcanic caldera. It is a sight every traveller should see at least once. Following a day at sea to recharge, you will arrive at the port of Bar in Montenegro. This town is a growing centre for tourism and offers a peaceful alternative to some of the busier Mediterranean hubs.

The voyage continues to the lush island of Corfu. Known for its Venetian architecture and cypress-shaded hills, it is a lovely place to wander through old town streets or find a quiet cove. You will also visit Messina in Sicily, where the impressive Duomo and its massive astronomical clock are must-see landmarks. Between these stops, you will have another day at sea, allowing you to make the most of the full-board dining and on-board amenities before finally arriving in Barcelona.
