The Enchanting Greek Islands
Departs every Thursday from April 1 - October 28
EXPLORE THE STORIED GREEK ISLANDS IN PRIVATE STYLE
Perhaps more than any other land, Greece has exerted a profound and lasting influence on the development of the Western world. Democracy, philosophy, historiography, scientific inquiry, and theater, among others, were born here. But Greece is also famed for its sparkling deep blue sea, its iconic islands and their whitewashed towns and villages, its cuisine that gave rise to the Mediterranean diet, and its vibrant contemporary life and culture.
With only 57 spacious suites accommodating a maximum of 114 guests, beautifully appointed common areas, and expansive open deck spaces, the Blue Zephyr is more akin to a large private yacht than a cruise ship. It offers an ideal setting for cruising the idyllic Greek islands and the coast of Turkey.
This voyage through the fabled Aegean Sea aboard the Blue Zephyr takes travelers to some of the most beautiful and historically significant Greek islands, considered the gems of the Greek archipelago. Also included is Ephesus, one of the most prominent cities of antiquity and now one of the world’s most spectacular archaeological sites.
Departs from Lavrio Port, which is a one-hour drive from Athens and a 30 minute drive from the Athens International Airport.
