Mediterranean: Athens to Rome

10-NIGHT SAILING FROM ATHENS TO ROME

Two words: Amalfi Coast

Athens kicks off a Mediterranean voyage built for late nights and legendary coastlines. Watch the sunset in Santorini. Stay out late in Bodrum and Mykonos. Wander Malta’s golden streets, explore Sicily’s volcanic coastline, and soak up the seaside glamour of the Amalfi Coast. Three blissful sea days keep the rhythm flowing before arriving in Rome fully immersed in Mediterranean living.
