Celestyal Discovery, Iconic Greek Islands (Winter) ex Athens return

Discover the beauty and diversity of the Mediterranean on this incredible four-night round trip. Setting sail from Athens, you’ll be sampling the delights of Mykonos before the end of the evening, from its picturesque windmills to its bright and bustling nightlife. Follow in the footsteps of ancient Greeks on your second day, with time in Ephesus – one of the seven wonders of the ancient world – and the isle of Patmos. Feel history come to life around you as you explore stunning countryside, caves and historic monasteries. Enjoy a full day in Rhodes, discovering its opulent architecture and the majestic Acropolis of Lindos. Then it’s a full day in the scenic island of Santorini, where whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches complement spectacular sunsets. You’ll return to Athens with lasting memories and fascinating stories to share.

If a long weekend or midweek break is on your horizon, the Celestyal Discovery cruise ship offers three- and four-night 'Iconic Aegean' cruises. From November 2025, she will also travel to the Arabian Gulf on three-and four-night 'Iconic Arabia' cruises.
