Adriatic & Aegean Escape – Santorini & Mykonos

About this cruise

By August 8, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Ravenna, visiting Santorini, Mykonos, Piraeus (Athens) and Split, 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 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Explorer Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Ravenna has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
