Captivating Crete and Aegean Cruise

Aerial view of the old Venetian harbor of Rethimno, Crete, Greece

Cruise & Tour Holidays

Crete is one of the most beautiful and diverse Greek islands and on this tale of two halves, we’ll spend a week ticking off some of the highlights: Heraklion’s Venetian harbour, the Lasithi Plateau, dotted with white-sailed windmills and the mountains of western Crete. Then we’ll board the newly refurbished MS Celestyal Journey for a fascinating 7-night cruise around the Aegean. Its smaller size allows a more in-depth experience of must-see destinations like Santorini, Mykonos, Athens and Turkey’s Ephesus.
