Treasures of the Cyclades
Cruising through Greece
Step into a world where dazzling white villages perch on rugged cliffs, golden beaches stretch into crystal-clear waters, and the air hums with timeless stories. The Cyclades—named by ancient Greek geographers for the circle ("kyklos" in Greek) they form around the sacred island of Delos—are more than just a collection of islands. They are a window into both myth and geology, shaped by legendary battles of giants and dramatic natural events like volcanic eruptions.
These islands, with their vivid blue domes and glowing whitewashed buildings, echo the essence of the Greek flag. Each island holds its own unique charm, whether it’s the lively ambiance of Mykonos, the tranquil beauty of Milos, or the poetic allure of Santorini's sunsets. The Cyclades invite you to slow down, immerse yourself in their rhythm, and embrace their one-of-a-kind character—wherever you wander, the magic of Greece will surround you.

Itinerary
Friday Departures From Athens, Marina Zeas
DAY 1 - Welcome aboard and sail from Athens to Poros
The adventure begins. Join us on board as you get to know your home at sea, and fellow travellers, over a welcome drink. We’ll set sail, heading for Poros and arriving just in time for dinner. Relax or enjoy an evening walk, before our overnight journey to Poliegos.
DAY 2 - Poliegos to Folegandros
Wake up in uninhabited Poliegos. The hardest decision you’ll make today is whether to jump into the sea, or to enjoy breakfast on deck. We recommend you do both. In the afternoon we’ll sail to Folegandros to explore the town and Venetian castle, before tasting traditional Greek food in one of the local tavernas. Overnight in Folegandros.
DAY 3 - Santorini
Santorini calling. We’ll arrive early with plenty of time to explore the capital, Fira, as well as the smaller village of Oia with its blue-domed views over the caldera. This is the place to get those Instagram shots. Optional tour of the archaeological site, Akrotiri. As evening falls, enjoy the world-famous Santorini sunset with sundowners on deck. Tonight, it’s time to show off your dance skills at our Greek Night. Overnight in Santorini.
DAY 4 - Antiparos to Paros
Today we’ll sail to Paros, with a quick stop in a beautiful bay on neighboring Antiparos. Yes, you’re welcome to dive in. In Paros, explore both the port city of Parikia, and Naoussa - a quaint, and incredibly photogenic village in the north. In the evening you will have time to enjoy your dinner in a tavern overlooking the sunset. Overnight in Paros.
DAY 5 - Delos to Mykonos
Before waving ahoy to Mykonos, we’ll stop for a few hours at sacred Delos. The island is an archaeological site, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Join us on a guided tour before we sail to more hedonistic Mykonos. Here, the night is yours. Join the jet-set and vibe at the hottest bars and restaurants. Overnight in Mykonos - in case you don’t want to leave the party early!
DAY 6 - Syros
Wake up and refresh with a morning dip in the sea then all aboard for the trip to Syros, the capital of the Cyclades. Here you can relax, rest, and rejuvenate on the beach, or you can take part in our optional tour and explore the town and its unique architecture. Overnight in Syros.
DAY 7 - Kythnos, then on to Athens
We begin our journey back to Athens, with a last opportunity to jump into the inviting sea at Kolones Bay, Kythnos. Dry off as we sail towards Cape Sounion to view the Temple of Poseidon from the sundeck. On arrival back at Marina Zea, enjoy a Captain's Farewell Dinner before bedding down for one more night on board.
DAY 8 - Marina Zea, Athens
Breakfast and disembarkation at 8.30-9am. But this is not goodbye. We’re sure your cabin mates have become friends you’ll stay in touch with. As for us - we hope this is only bye for now, and that we’ll see you on one of our cruises again soon.
