Sunlit Odyssey – Santorini & Alexandria
About this cruise
You board in Piraeus (Athens) on September 24, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Limassol, Alexandria and Santorini, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. With 3 sea days woven in between port calls, there's time to actually use the ship and recharge. The route threads through 3 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Cyprus, Egypt and Greece. Of the stops, Limassol tends to be the one people talk about: Sun, wine, and ancient kingdoms on Cyprus. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 8 restaurants on Rhapsody Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Piraeus (Athens) itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
