Why This Escape Defines Luxury

Round trip from Athens (Piraeus), Greece. Departs at 05:00 PM, local time. All aboard 1 hr before departure.

Enjoy a relaxing day at sea as the ship sails through the Aegean. Take advantage of onboard amenities, entertainment, and dining options.

Arrive at Chania (Souda Bay), Crete, Greece at 08:00 AM and depart at 06:00 PM, local time. Enjoy exploring the historic port city, its culture, and beautiful surroundings.

Crete has had thousands of years to develop a culture in a climate that simply captivates the modern traveler. The 600 miles of shoreline was a major hub between the Middle East, North Africa, and Continental Europe, culminating in a beautiful fusion of influences still present all over the island today. 

Chania - the gateway into Crete, exudes remnants of both the Byzantine and Hellenistic-Roman periods through its harbor and narrow streets, while relics from the Turkish occupation seem to shine in neighborhoods such as Koum Kapi and Halepa. Start your journey under the large covered agora (traditional market) in Market Square where you’ll find everything from fruits and vegetables, spices, local meats, homemade cheeses, and olive-ously – olives. If food is your spiritual system, go on a pilgrimage to the epicenter of olive divination in the nearby village of Ano Vouves, where the world’s oldest olive tree is still producing its sacred fruit. 

If you’re a history buff or an archaeology aficionado, you’ll have a field day your fifteen old self would drool over when uncovering the Palace of Knossos, while adrenaline seekers will revel in an off-roading Jeep adventure through ancient roads and vineyards. 

If you’re idea of adventure entails less off-roading and more unloading there’s no shortage of culinary crusades, island hopping boat tours or exclusive beach clubs – and if you can’t decide which journey to take, wander through Chania’s matrix of streets where the sea (and sea fare) is never far away.

A remixed melody of traditional echoes

Some words don’t translate well from one language to another – a perfect example of this is the Turkish word keyif. Pronounced “kayfe,” roughly translated it means “the pursuit of idyllic pleasure” or “to do nothing happily” but – as Bodrum locals will tell you, the best way to translate keyif is simply just – vibes. 

Bodrum is the ideal location to live out all your keyif fantasies. Spend the day at one of its idyllic top-rated beach resorts or gaze out the window on the short drive to the nomadic village of Etrim – where notoriously warm locals are eager to share their homemade wine and carpet weaving abilities. 

Geographically part of Asia Minor, or Anatolia, most of Turkey is surrounded by seas that border Europe, Africa and the Middle East – creating the perfect fusion of colliding cultures, tastes and an aesthetic unfathomable to those who’ve yet to have the privilege of wandering through its famed outdoor bazaars. 

However, Bodrum has so much more to offer than perfectly designed cuisine and instagram-worthy beauty. Dripping with a history richer than one of its homemade baklavas, Bodrum has something to offer everyone – especially the forever adventurer at heart. 

Originally built as a gothic style fortress, the legendary Bodrum Castle came under the rule of the Ottoman Empire until after WWI when it was vacated and left vacant for nearly 40 years. Now serving as one of the world’s premier archaeological museums it houses a (literal) treasure trove of artifacts pulled from sunken ships and wreckage sites dating back to the Bronze age. Continue your adventure and make your way to Bodrum Castle’s neighbor, The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus – one of the seven wonders of the world. 

Whether in search of a history lesson unlike any other, an over the top underwater adventure, phenomenal cuisine or to simply lay out on one of the best beaches the world has to offer, in Bodrum the only thing you have to worry about – is keyif.

The ultimate Greek Isle

Blue domes, windmills and white buildings sloping down a volcanic mountainside — yes, this is that postcard-worthy island whose stunning images are plastered on positive affirmation backdrops and smartphone homescreens alike, but now it’s yours to experience IRL.

Though Thera (the official name of Santorini) is more than just a pretty face — she’s got personality for days. Go through the storied past when island hopping the coast by boat or kayak, take in the modern seafaring culture at a private beach club or immerse yourself in the natural world surrounding it by hiking through volcanic trails and hot springs. 

The most surprising part of Thera happens to be what sets it apart from other Greek Isles – Santorian cuisine. Family-run distilleries feature bold ouzo infusions found exclusively on the Cycladic islands: wineries and vineyards that have produced incredible blends derived from 100 unique grape varietals for thousands of years paired with traditional recipes of mouthwatering multi-course dishes make Santorini a destination to save room for. (In your stomach and your dreams, obv).

In addition to the unbelievable culinary vista, it’s hard not to find romance in Thera. Sparks will fly on a sunset sail where dinner is served. Hidden enclaves surrounded by candlelight make for a fairytale day-to-night date, and a horseback or helicopter ride will make you feel like you’re experiencing something you’ve only seen on reality television. Self-care is (obviously) always at the heart of any good journey – and in Santorini there are so many ways to share your love of life with others – and most importantly – with yourself.

Cycladean myths to beachside beats

Beach umbrellas peppering an eternal coastline, a pelican population just as teeming as its local fishermen and copious shades of blue in all directions, Mykonos just has that – je ne sais quoi.Travel beyond the Mykonos that you’ve seen on your screen and lose yourself within the labyrinth of whitewashed building lined streets – accented, of course, by blue, green or red doors and handrails (and you thought your homeowner’s association was strict). Beauty is synonymous with Mykonos, and the only thing more beautiful than its aesthetic is its people and its acclaimed nightlife. 

Less than a century ago, Mykonos was most well-known as a trading port and the site of a slew of historic wars, including the battle between Zeus and the Titans. The 1950s entered into an era where artists, bohemians and chic jet setters started flocking to the island’s white sand beaches. Now, Mykonos is known as the epicenter of nightlife revelry. Two of the top 20 clubs in the world call Mykonos home, as well as dozens of other fabulous nighttime watering holes whose colored doors only close when the sun comes up. 

With an average of over 300 sunny days a year, it’s an obvious utopian isle for travelers looking to indulge. Spend the day laying in the sun on a luxe lounger. Discover hidden enclaves while off roading in a 4x4, or island hop the stunning coast. Wander the bar-lined cobblestone streets of Little Venice on foot or indulge in some of the best food Greece has to offer – no matter how you choose to enjoy your time in Mykonos, the only emotion you’ll never feel – is guilt.

Departs Mykonos, Greece at 02:00 PM, local time
