Get back to your happy place by booking one of the newly added Holland America Cruises Greece voyages departing August 15 through September 5, 2021, sailing from Piraeus (Athens), Greece.

7-DAY CRUISES THROUGH GREECE AND MORE
Choose from two seven-day itineraries roundtrip from Piraeus (Athens): the Idyllic Greek Isles voyage featuring Kotor, Montenegro, and the Greek islands of Corfu, Santoríni, and Mykonos; and the Ancient Wonders itinerary to Nafplion, Mykonos, and Rhodes in Greece, as well as Haifa (Nazareth), Israel. Both options can be combined to form a longer, back-to-back 14-day Collectors’ Voyage.

In addition to the roundtrip itineraries, a seven-day itinerary, Adriatic Allure, will sail from Piraeus (Athens) to Venice, with calls at Mykonos, Crete and Katákolon (Olympia) in Greece and at Sarandë, Albania. This September 5 departure can be combined with the 7-day Idyllic Greek Isles voyage to form a 14-day Collectors’ Voyage.

7 Night Idyllic Greek Isles

Ancient treasures, stunning beaches and welcoming tavernas are yours on this weeklong escape to Greece and Montenegro. Start your voyage with a splash in Kotor’s famous Blue Cave, whose iridescent waters bathe the entire cavern in ever-shifting shades of blue. Then grab an alfresco table and enjoy some fresh bread and olive oil at a cozy café in Corfu. Find a quiet corner of Santoríni to soak in unforgettable views of its breathtaking caldera before meandering the twisting cobblestone alleyways of Mykonos. The iconic Acropolis welcomes you back to Athens, where you can discover some of the country’s top museums and restaurants. Available August 15th & 29th, 2021 Round Trip Athens.

7 Night Adriatic Allure

Two of Europe’s most enchanting cities anchor either end of your journey across the Aegean, Ionian and Adriatic seas. Toast to your adventure in Mykonos with a crisp and refreshing glass of Assyrtiko on the
beach or along the waterfront. Then learn the legend of the Minotaur on Crete before sailing to Katàkolon, home to ancient Olympia — the site of the first Olympic Games. From Sarandë, zigzag through forested hillsides to UNESCO-recognized Gjirokastra, where castles meet minarets and traditional treats await among Ottoman-era buildings. Available September 5th, 2021 Athens to Venice

7 Night Ancient Wonders

Relics from the distant past and marvels of the modern era rise to greet you on this 7-day sojourn. The first stop is Haifa, Israel, where you can trace the early life of Jesus of Nazareth before following in the footsteps
of the Knights of St. John in the walled Old Town of Rhodes. Next, in Mykonos, wade into the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean or dive into a tasty mostra, a bruschetta-like treat whose flavors embody the spirit of the island. Then stand guard over the fortresses of Nafplion, which serve as imposing reminders that the Venetians, Ottomans, and others vied for control of this picturesque town before it became the first official capital of independent Greece. Return to Athens and cap off your trip with dinner in the lively Plaka neighborhood. Available August 22, 2021, Round trip Athens
