Ocean Discovery – Santorini, Bodrum & Rhodes

About this cruise

This one leaves Piraeus (Athens) on May 23, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting Santorini, Bodrum, Rhodes and Mykonos at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Archaeological sites, ouzo by the water, and island-hopping through the Aegean. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Scarlet Lady takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 12 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Piraeus (Athens) has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
