Istanbul

Turkey

Day
1
Date
Jun 16, 2027
Depart
6:00 PM

Arriving in Istanbul, Turkey on board a ship is an unforgettable experience. The Bosphorus, dividing Europe and Asia, welcomes passengers with ocean breezes, soaring seagulls and-if you're lucky-playful dolphins that frolic en route to the port. On deck is where the views of Istanbul's best attractions await.

Thessaloniki

Greece

Day

9:00 AM
Depart
8:00 PM

Lying on the ancient trade route linking the Adriatic with Istanbul, Thessaloníki has long held a confluence of cultures. This vibrant port city was only incorporated into the modern Greek state in 1912-almost a century after the rest of Greece was liberated from the Ottoman Empire.

Volos

Greece

Day
4
Date
Jun 19, 2027
Arrive
7:00 AM
Depart
6:00 PM

The span of highrise buildings that line the waterfront at Volos speak to modern Greece, rather than the ancient land. Indeed Volos is a very Greek city, a busy port and not high on the list of places for a traveler to visit.
