About This Cruise
The 7 Night Greece is a 7-night one-way itinerary aboard Cunard Queen Elizabeth. You board in Istanbul and disembark in Barcelona, calling at 16 ports across 8 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Turkey (Istanbul, Kusadasi), Greece (Mykonos, Piraeus), Italy (Naples, Civitavecchia), Malta (La Valletta), Montenegro (Kotor), Croatia (Split, Zadar) and 2 more, among others.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Istanbul and home from Barcelona, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 6 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.
