About This Cruise
The 7 Night Greek Isles & Italy Cruise is a 7-night one-way itinerary aboard Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas. You board in Barcelona and disembark in Piraeus (Athens), calling at 6 ports across 4 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Spain (Barcelona), Sicily (Palermo), Greece (Mykonos), Turkey (Kusadasi) and Greece (Santorini, Piraeus).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Barcelona and home from Piraeus (Athens), 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.
