7-day Euphoric Aegean cruise
For updated information please refer to the Celestyal cruises main page.
A new and unique itinerary including four top Greek island destinations:
breathtaking Santorini; the charmingly picturesque town of Chania on the island of Crete; Rhodes, the island of the Knights of St. John, with its romantic medieval city quarters; cosmopolitan Mykonos for a late night out to its trendy clubs.
The cruise ship also calls at picture-perfect Nafplion in the Peloponnese, which boasts off its history as first capital of liberated Greece and has one of the best-preserved old towns to be found anywhere.
Finally, two important destinations on the Turkish coast: the historically rich Izmir (old Smyrna) and the cosmopolitan Cesme, both being gateways to Ancient Ephesus, where once one of the seven wonders of antiquity stood, the Temple of Artemis.
