From €324
per person in a shared inside cabin
Overview
The islands across the Aegean are just a night away from Çeşme. On this cruise the ship sails while you sleep in your cabin, and you wake up in a new port each morning; you unpack once and forget about luggage for four nights.
Our sample route brings together three very different islands: Mykonos with its windmills and Little Venice, Santorini with its volcanic caldera and peaceful Patmos with its hilltop monastery. Breakfast, lunch and dinner on board, evening shows and shared facilities such as the pool are included.
In port you can explore on your own or join guided shore excursions booked through the ship or our advisers. As the route may vary with the season and sea conditions, the exact port schedule is shared at booking.
Highlights
- Departing from Çeşme: to the Aegean islands with no flights or connections
- Windmills, Little Venice and Matoyianni Street in Mykonos
- Anchoring in Santorini's caldera and clifftop views from Fira
- The Monastery of St John and the Cave of the Apocalypse on Patmos
- Full-board dining and evening shows on board
- Sunsets over the Aegean from the deck
Itinerary
Day 1 Çeşme – Embarkation
In the afternoon we check in at Çeşme port and board the ship after passport and baggage formalities. Once settled in our cabins we attend the mandatory safety drill, then watch the sunset from the deck as we sail away from the Çeşme coast. Dinner and a welcome show follow.
Day 2 Mykonos
We arrive in Mykonos in the morning; a shuttle or sea bus links the port with the town centre. There is free time in the white lanes of Mykonos Town, Little Venice, the windmills and around the Panagia Paraportiani church. We return to the ship at the stated time and sail on to the next island in the evening.
Day 3 Santorini
Our ship anchors inside the volcanic caldera and tenders take us ashore to Fira's old port. We reach Fira at the top of the cliffs by cable car or footpath and explore with the caldera spread out below. Those who wish can join an optional shore excursion to Oia, famous for its blue domes.
Day 4 Patmos
In the morning we dock at Skala, the port of Patmos. In the hilltop village of Chora you can see the Monastery of St John the Theologian, founded in 1088, and the Cave of the Apocalypse, both on the UNESCO World Heritage List, before swimming in a quiet cove. In the evening, a farewell dinner and show on board.
Day 5 Çeşme – Disembarkation
We arrive at Çeşme port early in the morning. After breakfast we complete passport formalities and disembark at the end of our cruise.
Accommodation
You stay in air-conditioned inside cabins with private bathrooms on a full-board basis. Upgrades to sea-view cabins are available for a supplement, and cabin categories are shared at booking.

Visa Information Visa Required
The Greek islands on this route are in the Schengen area, so Turkish citizens holding ordinary passports need a valid Schengen visa to go ashore. The express visa scheme that Greece operates seasonally on some eastern Aegean islands is reset each season in terms of scope, ports and dates, so it cannot be guaranteed for this route. Your passport must have been issued within the last 10 years and be valid for at least 3 months (preferably 6 months) after the return date. We recommend confirming your visa situation with our adviser before booking; current requirements are confirmed before departure.
Important Information
- The route is a sample; the order of ports and arrival and departure times may change with the season, weather and sea conditions or port authority decisions.
- As the ship anchors off Santorini, going ashore is by tender; in bad weather this may not be possible.
- It is important to be back on board by the stated time in each port; the ship does not wait for late passengers.
- Cabin numbers are assigned at check-in; upgrades to a sea-view cabin are available for a supplement, subject to availability.
- The child price (ages 2–12) applies to a third guest sharing a cabin with two adults.
Cancellation & Refunds
Bookings are confirmed with a written package tour contract finalised with our adviser. Cancellation charges based on the time remaining before departure, non-refundable items (visa fees, insurance, special-fare flights) and your rights if a tour is cancelled are explained on our Cancellation & Refund Policy page. Tour-specific terms are stated in the contract.
