The Bottom Line
Looking for a traditional Mediterranean cruise departing from Athens? Holland America may have the right one for you.
Pros
  • Good itineraries to combine with a longer trip to Greece
  • Deluxe accommodations
  • Some unusual destinations
Cons
  • Cruises by their very nature are not an intimate experience of the country
Description
  • Looking for a trip that combines Greece and Egypt? This at least gives you a taste of the land of the pyramids.
  • Other Holland America trips include Greek stops, but this one lets you combine a longer trip before or after cruising.
  • Holland America offers both early-booking discounts and last-minute discounts - keep asking what's available.
Guide Review - Holland America Lines
Holland America offers several Mediterranean cruises with Greek port stops, but the best one for most travelers to Greece may be the Athens-to-Athens Black Sea and Egyptian Adventure. This cruise lets you touch on Egypt, explore the Black Sea, and visit Cyprus before returning you to Athens for more explorations in Greece. Discounted prices on two sailing dates in September start at about US 1800 for twelve days on board.
