Previously known as Royal Olympic Cruises, the flagship cruise line of Greece offers inexpensive, Greek-crewed cruises. Personally, I'd rather have a captain who came from that island on the horizon when I'm traveling in Greek waters.
Airfare to and from Greece is generally not included, but watch for specials.
They offer a number of different cruises, but this is one of the most popular:
Aegean Classic - 4-day cruise from Athens, visiting Mykonos, Ephesus in Turkey, Patmos, Crete, and Santorini.
Fares start from $649 with early-booking discount - and even if you've missed the deadline, it never hurts to ask what deals are available.
Fall Dates:
September 22nd, 29th
October 6th, 13th, 20, 27th
November 3rd, 10th, 17th
Special Offer: Repositioning Cruise - Piraeus/Ft Lauderdale - Departs November 11th.
18 days visiting Europe and South America before arriving at Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. From US $2759 (with early booking discount.) While this trip only starts in Greece, it's a great way to end your Greek odyssey and return in style.
Zeus Yacht Tours
Surprisingly affordable, this is a great way to relax, unpack only once, and yet see a great selection of islands and sights while traveling on a large envy-inducing yacht that turns heads when it arrives in port.
They offer several options; the Aegean Mosaic covers the most must-see destinations in Greece, starting on Crete and continuing on to Santorini and Rhodes before circling back to Heraklion.
Seven-day cruises start at US $855 per person for an inside cabin, including port taxes.
Fall Dates for "Aegean Mosaic":
September 22nd and 29th
October 6th, 13th, and 20th
