Sail with exceptional service, with nearly one crew member for every guest and a half, ensuring attentive, personalized care. Plus, all dining is included—from casual to fine dining—with no extra charges for specialty restaurants.
With a luxury small-ship experience, you’re getting so much more than just transportation between ports. This cruise includes hosted group events, locally inspired cuisine, unique cultural excursions, and the intimacy of visiting smaller, less-crowded ports that big ships can’t reach. There are no long lines, fewer extra charges, and you’ll enjoy a higher level of service and attention. It’s about the quality of the experience at every step. Nothing can beat the service you will receive on a small ship.
Think of it as traveling on your own private yacht. Wake up in a new destination most mornings, often steps from charming villages or historic sites. Explore ashore, then return for gourmet dining, relaxation, and new friends. It’s about the ports, not endless hours onboard. It's about immersing yourself in each town.
Small-ship cruising focuses on authentic destinations and cultural immersion rather than casinos or large-scale productions. Instead, you’ll enjoy local entertainment brought onboard, lectures and destination talks, and intimate dining experiences. The richness of the ports and the curated excursions more than make up for the absence of “big ship” activities.
The Aegean is one of the most sought-after sailing regions in the world, and prime itineraries sell out quickly, sometimes a year or more ahead. Booking early ensures you get the exact suite you want, locks in today’s pricing, and avoids missing out. Plus, you can make smaller payments over time, and with travel protection, your plans are secure.
You could, but you’d be managing hotel changes, transportation, meals, and logistics for multiple destinations. On this cruise, you unpack once and enjoy a seamless journey through incredible ports, all while having your meals, accommodations, and many activities included. It’s a stress-free way to see more without sacrificing comfort or quality.
Yes! The Aegean offers beautiful weather during sailing season, with warm days and pleasant evenings perfect for sightseeing, dining al fresco, and enjoying the yacht’s outdoor spaces. Excursions are planned with the climate in mind, ensuring comfort whether you’re exploring ancient ruins or relaxing on deck.
