History. It's everywhere you turn. Down narrow, cobble-stoned streets, atop rugged mountain cliffs just off the decks of your cruise ship. Escape all the pressures of civilization without missing out on any of its pleasures. Your days ashore are invitations to adventure, education and the pure pleasure of seeing things you've only read about before. Visit castles, museums and galleries. Explore ancient cities through winding canals. From glorious gardens and gilded theaters to famous boulevards and fabled landmarks, you're in for a picture-perfect experience.
Book with a professional travel advisor and you may unlock more than what appears in a standard online search. Depending on the supplier and trip, your advisor may have access to preferred or agency-negotiated group rates, special promotions, upgrades, onboard or resort credits, and other added-value benefits that are not always available through direct booking.
During our consultation, we may ask for a few details—such as your country or state of residence, ZIP code, age eligibility, military status, past-guest history, or loyalty memberships. These details can help us identify fares and benefits you may qualify for and compare them against publicly available options.
Not every offer applies to every traveler, and availability varies by supplier, destination, sailing, travel dates, and eligibility. But the more we know about your trip and the qualifications that may apply to you, the more thoroughly we can search for opportunities to enhance your vacation and help you secure the best available overall value not just the first price you see online.

The port of Civitavecchia is the gateway to The Eternal City, where all roads lead. Mad traffic careens past monuments of the great civilizations of the past. You will want to see it all: the soaring inspiration of St. Peter's, the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel; the flow of life along the Spanish Steps, the Coliseum, the Via Veneto and Trevi Fountain.

Santorini (Thira), Greece

With its steep volcanic flanks looming straight up from the sea, and the tiny white village of Thira clinging high atop the cliffs, Santorini is perhaps the most breathtaking and legendary of all the Greek Isles. To the south is Akrotiri, where recent Minoan excavations support the theories that Santorini might be the fabled lost continent of Atlantis.

Take an excursion to Lindos, where high on a hill rises an ancient acropolis dedicated to the goddess Athena.

📍
Day 9 · Mykonos, Greece
Mykonos, Greece
Arrive 8:00 am · Depart 7:30 pm
The narrow passageways of Mykonos are a twisted maze of whitewashed houses, miniature churches, lazy windmills, and tiny cafes serving up Greek specialties. Sample the freshest squid or lobster just snatched from the blue Aegean Sea, or shop for typical flokati rugs.
📍

Piraeus is the seaport for Athens, the capital of western civilization, which boasts a fantastic mix of classical ruins and vivacious modern life. In a single day, you can climb the hill of the Acropolis to wonder at the Parthenon, join the lively Athenians in Constitution Square, and then find a welcoming taverna for some spirited bizouki music, plenty of ouzo to drink, and with luck, energetic Greek dancing.
