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 Piraeus (Athens) and disembark in Istanbul, calling at 7 ports across 2 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Greece (Piraeus, Santorini, Rhodes), Turkey (Bodrum, Kusadasi), Greece (Mykonos) and Turkey (Istanbul).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Piraeus (Athens) and home from Istanbul, 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.
