Instead of striving to bluff its passengers with over the top luxury amenities, Celestyal Olympia has taken on another mission, to take the lovers of Greece on a voyage that will make them discover its multitude of islands. On the Aegean sea, around the Cyclades or Dodecanese islands, the Olympia cruiseship, which has undergone a major renovation, navigates towards the landmarks of this country's myths and legends.

After leaving the Piraeus, the main harbor of Athens, the direction is due south. To enjoy total immersion and the ambiance, all onboard the ship makes a reference to the country of Zorba the Greek. The bars are named Thalassa, Helios or Muses and meals take place at the Aegean and Aura tables, serving sun-filled culinary specialties to all those who abide by the Mediterranean diet.

The best of antique Greece

During the cruise, no long crossing with only the sea as horizon. The mythical islands are quickly reached: the beaches and festive life of Mykonos, the harbor and the monasteries of Patmos, the medieval town of Rhodes with the castle of the Grand Masters of Rhodes, the palace of Knossos, in Heraklion, Crete, Caldeira and the steeples of Santorini are all not-to-be-missed excursions—between two courses of Sirtaki and a tanning session by the pool, while indulging in a shop-op for lasting souvenirs of an all inclusive cruise.
