About This Cruise
The 10 Night Mediterranean Splendor: Greece, Malta & Spain is a 10-night one-way itinerary aboard Holland America Nieuw Statendam. You board in Piraeus (Athens) and disembark in Lisbon, calling at 9 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Greece (Piraeus, Mykonos), Malta (La Valletta), Spain (Palma De Mallorca, Alicante, Cartagena), Morocco (Tangier), Spain (Cadiz) and Portugal (Lisbon).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Piraeus (Athens) and home from Lisbon, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 2 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.
