Aegean Grand Tour – Santorini & Istanbul

About this cruise

10 nights, 6 ports, all from Piraeus (Athens) on October 5, 2026. The route visits Thessaloniki, Istanbul, Kusadasi, Santorini, Rhodes and Mykonos and the whole thing just flows. 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, Celebrity Infinity has 9 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 10-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
