Travel the Greek Isles in style, as we combine culture, architecture, and ambiance with sophistication, sensuality, and seduction.
Day 1 - Athens (Piraeus), Greece
Homeland to The Gods
Greece offers a myriad of sensual experiences, landscapes, and activities. Athens , the capital city and homeland to gods, goddesses, and some of the world’s greatest philosophers and athletes, brims with iconic ancient temples, in addition to hosting a variety of glorious beaches.
Be sure to explore the major highlights such as the Acropolis, the new Acropolis Museum, the Panathenaic Stadium, and the Parthenon, where you will discover the mythological crossroads between the past while being seduced by the present.
Day 2 - Volos, Greece
City of The Argonaouts
The city of Volos combines the allure of the sea with mystical charms and mythical legends. Not only is it considered one of the country’s prettiest cities, but it’s also believed to be the birthplace of Centaurs.
Follow Argonauts Avenue on the seafront to find a replica of the infamous Argo, recreated based on historical texts, and witness the many yachts and colorful fishing boats along the way that are sure to capture your imagination and fuel the sensual daydreams of your own epic journeys.
Day 3 - Thessaloniki, Greece
City of The Byzantine Empire
The charms of Thessaloniki have been captivating visitors for thousands of years. The sensual energy in this ancient cultural capital is palpable, especially in the vibrant downtown that was rebuilt in a spectacular Byzantine style after a devastating fire in the early 1900s.As the second-biggest city in Greece and the second-most important city of the Byzantine Empire, it has been deemed as one of the top five party cities in the world.
Day 4 - Kavala, Greece
Heart of Eastern Macedonia
Kavala is known for its fantastic beaches, fine sand, and clear, shallow waters.
The first thing you and your partner will notice as you arrive in Kavala is the Byzantine castle that sits like a crown atop of the city. Secondly, you’ll be awed by the whitewashed, red-roofed buildings nestled amongst the high stonewalls, with the azure-blue Aegean Sea lapping on the shore.
Day 5 - Fun Day at Sea!
Fulfill Your Desire on Board
There will be lots of additional entertainment today, so be sure and check out our program packed with a provocative pool party, racy activities, and theme night aimed to please.This day at sea will give you and your partner a chance to relax, rejuvenate, refresh, and of course, party. We recommend that you start with breakfast in bed, taking advantage of our free room service. Next, pamper yourselves with a treatment in the spa or maybe some onboard shopping in our exclusive shops.
Day 6 - Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey
City in A Time Capsule
Once the second largest city in the Roman Empire, only behind Rome, Ephesus is the star attraction of Turkey.
There are so many spellbinding sights to be seen. Grab your partner’s hand and explore the ruins of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; the Basilica of St. John, known to be the burial site of John the Apostle; and the House of Virgin Mary, where it is believed she spent her last days.
Day 7 - Mykonos, Greece
The Ibiza of Greece
Mykonos is vibrant and cosmopolitan, with a reputation for legendary parties.
Beneath its idyllic scenery it is known as the “Ibiza of Greece”. Looking like a scene straight from a postcard, you and your partner will be captivated by the whiter-than white homes, boasting blue shutters, vibrant bougainvillea, and the breathtaking blue harbor basking in the sensual sunlight.
Day 8 - Athens (Piraeus), Greece
Cruise to the Cradle of European Civilization
After all that Athens archaeological digging, metaphorically speaking, you’re probably going to work up quite an appetite. So, head to the Central Market for fresh fruit and veggies, nuts, olives, and Grecian cheese like feta, graviera, and aged kefalotyri. (Snacking is not a bad idea since Athenians usually don’t head out for dinner until at least 9:00 PM.)
And if you need a little extra pick-me-up to make it that late, have a frappe—a Greek creation of strong iced coffee with milk and sugar. Neighborhoods like Pangrati, Exarhia, and Petralona feature fantastic tavernas where you can rub elbows with the locals while dining on the sidewalk well into the wee hours of the night. Opa!
