day one: ATHENS, GREECE

Your idyllic Aegean escape begins in Athens, one of the oldest cities in the world. You may want to arrive a few days early, or stay a few days later in this intriguing city that is a vibrant mix of old and modern architecture in perfect harmony and balance.

This unforgettable experience with Celestyal Cruises is more than a vacation; it’s a passport to history, a feast for the senses, and a collection of memories that will last a lifetime. So, set sail and let the magic of the Mediterranean unfold before you! A day at sea gives you the opportunity to explore the ship’s array of amenities, take full advantage of the onboard activities and indulge in the chef’s exquisite cuisine. Kick back and soak up the sun, or participate in handicrafts, language lessons, traditional dancing, games or exercise. 

DAY THREE: PORT SAID (EGYPT)

At the northern end of Egypt’s iconic Suez Canal, the city of Port Said evokes an entrancing air of nostalgia. It boasts a raised pedestrian boardwalk that runs along the scenic waterfront, offering fabulous views of the canal’s entry point. The surrounding late 19th Century buildings and properties flaunt a certain charm that magically transports you to a bygone era.

While here, you’ll have an opportunity to take a shore excursion to Africa’s largest city, Cairo. Your first stop will be at Giza Plateau, where the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World, the Pyramids of Giza still stand. 

DAY FOUR: ASHDOD (iSRAEL)

The striking coastline of Ashdod in Israel’s Holy Land has witnessed the evolution of history since the Biblical prophet Jonah. Amongst the most celebrated sites are the Temple Mount, the Dome of the Rock, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Wailing Wall. Here you will have an opportunity to explore two of the world’s most celebrated cities, Bethlehem & Jerusalem. Please note this port may be substituted or skipped due to continuing conflict in the region.

DAY FIVE: LIMASSOL (CYPRUS)

Bustling Limassol is Cyprus’ cultural hub and tourist center. It’s streets are lined with colorful cafes, bars and restaurants. To complement the modern attractions, the lively city also has the historic monument of Limassol Castle and a collection of ancient treasures on show in the Cyprus Medieval Museum. You can discover the UNESCO-listed archaeological site of Pafos and the legend of Aphrodite’s rock through wonderful excursions.

DAY SIX: RHODES (GREECE)

The idyllic Greek island of Rhodes is home to one of the nation’s most iconic landmarks – the Acropolis of Lindos. The island also has a bounty of beautiful beaches, majestic medieval fortification ruins and an enchanting Old Town to discover. Explore the labyrinth of quaint cobblestone streets that instantly transport you back in time to the days of the Byzantine Empire.

While touring Rhodes, why not visit the Acropolis of Lindos and take the trek up the mountain for incredible views while you can browse in the charming shops along the way.

DAY SEVEN: KUSADASI (TURKEY)

The historically significant Turkish city of Kusadasi is bathed in glorious sunshine for 300 days of the year, so make sure you wear plenty of sunscreen and a hat! Here, you have the chance to explore iconic ruins on a tour to ancient Ephesus. Before you come back onboard, feel free to browse the stalls for souvenirs and trinkets in the Grand Bazaar near the harbour.

DAY EIGHT: ATHENS (GREECE)

Your epic journey comes to a close where it all began — in the legendary city of Athens. Your early arrival gives you plenty of time to explore the city’s unforgettable sites like the Acropolis or learn how Greece inspired Western democracy. Have some extra vacation time? Why not extend your stay in this amazing city?

Hi, I’m Kenneth Reece — and I help make unforgettable vacations feel effortless. With 50 cruises under my belt (and more in the works!), I specialize in bucket-list travel experiences for grown-up travelers who want something a little more meaningful, a little more personal, and a lot more fun. Whether you're cruising the blue waters of the Caribbean, exploring the stunning coastlines of Alaska, or soaking in the magic of Europe one cobblestone street at a time — I’m here to help you plan a trip you’ll always remember. Lately, river cruising has completely captured my heart. There’s just something special about waking up each morning in a new European town, with your floating boutique hotel waiting to take you to the next charming stop. I love pairing these river cruises with guided land tours for a perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. Princess Cruises has long been one of my favorites at sea, but I’ve sailed with many cruise lines and know how to match each client with the right one for them. I’ve also experienced the Disney magic around the world — from Disneyland and Walt Disney World to Tokyo and Paris — and I bring that same sense of wonder and thoughtful planning into everything I do. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, traveling solo, or just need help making sense of all the choices out there, I’m here to be your guide. I love helping clients as much — or as little — as they prefer. From the first conversation to the moment you return home, you’ll know someone has your back. Let’s make your next trip easy, exciting, and completely tailored to you.
