7 nights - Cultural Treasures of Egypt and Greece - from/to Heraklion
About this cruise
By September 25, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Heraklion, visiting Alexandria, Rhodes, Piraeus (Athens) and Souda (Chania), and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Whitewashed Cycladic villages one day, busy bazaars the next. Very different moods, same cruise. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 11 restaurants on Mein Schiff 5, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
