About This Cruise
The 10 Night Icons Of Antiquity Istanbul To Athens (Piraeus) is a 10-night one-way itinerary aboard Regent Seven Seas Mariner. You board in Istanbul and disembark in Piraeus (Athens), calling at 7 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Turkey (Istanbul), Greece (Rhodes), Cyprus (Limassol), Israel (Haifa, Ashdod), Egypt (Alexandria) and Greece (Piraeus).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Istanbul and home from Piraeus (Athens), so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 4 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
