Greek Isles & Santorini · Meridian Solstice
The Aegean Light
From the Parthenon to the Grand Canal the long way round: the Cyclades, Crete, the Peloponnese and a dawn arrival in Venice.
The journey
Day by day
Athens (Piraeus)
Sail past the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, its columns catching the last light exactly as they have for 2,400 years.
Santorini
A full day and a famous evening. Anchor under Oia; Assyrtiko tasting in a 300-year-old canava; the caldera at golden hour from your veranda.
Mykonos
The whitewashed labyrinth; windmills above Little Venice; a swim at Agios Sostis, the beach the island keeps for itself.
Patmos
The Monastery of the Apocalypse and St. John above the Chora; a quiet island that has kept its soul.
Rhodes
Walk the Street of the Knights within the Crusader walls, then Lindos: an acropolis above a perfect crescent bay.
Crete (Chania)
Knossos and the Minotaur's palace in the morning; the Venetian harbour and a long Cretan lunch in the afternoon.
At Sea — The Ionian
Cookery at the Tidal counter, a historian on the myths we have just sailed through, and the pool deck in full summer mode.
Kotor, Montenegro
Up the fjord-like Bay of Kotor between black mountains to a walled Venetian town at its head.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
The walls at opening time, before the crowds; then a table in the old port for black risotto and white Pošip.
At Sea — The Adriatic
A last slow day at sea, north along the Dalmatian islands. The farewell dinner is served on the terrace, weather permitting. It permits.
Venice
Dawn arrival down the Giudecca — the Salute to starboard, San Marco ahead. Disembark, or stay aboard for the Grand World Voyage.
All-suite veranda accommodation · All dining and beverages including fine wines and spirits · Shore experiences in every port · Butler service · Gratuities and Wi-Fi
The destination
Greek Isles & Santorini
The Aegean is the colour architects spend careers chasing. Whitewashed villages, bronze light, and dinners that begin at nine and end when they end.
