About This Cruise
The 7 Night Greek Isles & Turkey Cruise is a 7-night one-way itinerary aboard Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas. You board in Istanbul and disembark in Piraeus (Athens), calling at 7 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Turkey (Istanbul, Kusadasi, Bodrum), Greece (Rhodes, Santorini), Crete (Chania) 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 1 day 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.
