Greece Small Ship Cruises 2023/24

You might be surprised to learn just how many places you can visit on a small-ship cruise in Greece. It’s an exceptional destination for island-hopping, but it’s also possible to visit enticing destinations on the mainland. There are thousands of islands scattered about the Ionian and Aegean seas, including bucket-list places like Santorini and Mykonos, while ancient sites such as Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games on the Peloponnese peninsula, can be visited too. While those massive cruise ships can bring you to major ports, they usually can’t visit smaller gems, with itineraries typically more focused on time spent onboard.

On Unforgettable Cruises, you’ll sail on an elegant motor yacht, spending more time in the destinations yet still enjoying the experience of soaking up the Mediterranean sun and the incredible scenery. Cabins are all en-suite with upscale amenities, with the majority of the fleet accommodating around 40 guests. That means the crew and staff have more time to provide personalised service, complete with insider tips for the places you’ll be visiting. There’s plenty of space to relax or mingle – and, with more like-minded passengers, by the time you disembark, you’re likely to have made a few new friends.

Cruise Specialist

Greece cruises are vivid and varied, with something to suit all interests. History enthusiasts will revel in itineraries exploring the many ancient, world heritage sites on offer – particularly around the Mainland and Peloponnese. For a more relaxed affair, enjoy an island-hopping cruise through the majestic Cyclades or the lesser-known islands of far eastern Aegean.

Our Greece cruise ships are sophisticated and extremely comfortable. These spacious motor yachts accommodate a maximum of 70 other passengers, with a high staff-to-guest ratio ensuring the finest service to go along with the upscale ensuite cabins and attractive common areas.

Excursions take you to abandoned ruins, enchanting port towns or mountain villages, or swim stops on isolated beaches. Excursions are not typically included in the package price, so you have greater flexibility over what you’d like to see and do along the way.

Ports of Call

  • Athens 429 x 429

    Athens

    The Greek capital is widely regarded to be the birthplace of western civilization. Visiting its heart will take you back to the 5th-century BC, yet Athens is very much in the 21st century. It’s the ideal mix of ancient and modern, with iconic landmarks that most people only read about in history books and see on-screen. Visiting Acropolis Hill topped by the Parthenon and other remarkable monuments is a must, but you’ll find a wide range of neighbourhoods with local markets to browse, sidewalk cafes for people watching, casual eateries and fine dining restaurants, along with lively nightlife.

There are opportunities for wine tours with the island producing many high-quality wines, while the prehistoric settlement of Akrotiri, Santorini’s own Pompeii, offers a look at life here more than 3,500 years ago. Oia village, with its whitewashed buildings spilling down the cliffs is renowned as one of the world’s best places to watch a sunset.

  • Nafplion 429 x 429

    Nafplion

    Nestled in a bay along the north-east coast of the Peloponnese peninsula, Nafplion is remarkably picturesque.

    Located in the heart of the Cyclades, Paros offers diverse landscapes with rolling hills and lush valleys along with sandy beaches and crystal-clear blue waters.

Secluded Faragas features stunning surroundings and opportunities for quiet contemplation in tiny coves that sit on either side. There are scenic trails for hiking and whitewashed towns with Cycladic cube-shaped homes draped in bougainvillea and cobbled streets lined with shops, cafes, and bars.
