Depart Athens at 5:00 PM
Athens – Europe’s action packed, oldest capital, considered to many as an archaeological theme park. As you approach the port of Piraeus you’ll find its entryway lined with visitors eager to be catapulted into one of the most exciting spectacles on the planet.
Arrive to Mykonos at 8:00 AM
Beach umbrellas peppering an eternal coastline, a pelican population just as teeming as its local fishermen and copious shades of blue in all directions, Mykonos just has that – je ne sais quoi.
Depart Mykonos at 8:00 PM
Enjoy a day at sea by taking advantage of all the ship has to offer. Spend the day lounging poolside and soaking up the sun with your favorite cocktail in hand or sign up for group fitness classes including yoga, meditation, cycling, HIIT classes, and more.
When it's time to eat, choose from 20+ eateries featuring menus curated by Michelin star chefs. Later in the evening, enjoy shows onboard which were developed by the world’s most-talked-about producers and artists. With a festival-like lineup featuring original, first-to-sea productions, extraordinary pop-up acts, and immersive experiences, the entertainment on board is something you’ve never seen before.
Arrive to Kotor at 8:00 AM
While Kotor’s history is steeped in medieval lore, its past extends all the way back to both ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. Like the age of a vintage Hollywood starlet, an exact date to the city’s origins is impossible to pinpoint, but with the 12th-14th centuries being widely accepted as the golden age of Montenegro’s development, this is probably a good starting place to fix your mind upon entering the city’s renowned gates.
Depart Kotor at 6:00 PM
Arrive to Corfu at 9:00 AM
SIn every big family there are bound to be labels given to each child. There’s the leader, the mischief-maker, the one who goes with the flow — the list goes on. If Greece’s islands were to have such designations, Corfu would be the effortlessly chic tastemaker.
Depart Corfu at 6:00 PM
Arrive to Dubrovnik at 8:00 AM
Across the Adriatic Sea from Italy, is Dubrovnik — the (unofficial) capital of Croatia’s dazzling Dalmatian Coast. The subtropical climate has made this former village-turned-fortified city an ideal port for merchants and seafarers since the 7th-century and an ideal backdrop for our Sailors (and Hollywood location scouts) since the 21st.
Depart Dubrovnik at 7:00 PM

Arrive to Santorini at 8:00 AM
Blue domes, windmills and white buildings sloping down a volcanic mountainside — yes, this is that postcard-worthy island whose stunning images are plastered on positive affirmation backdrops and smartphone homescreens alike, but now it’s yours to experience IRL.
Depart Santorini at 6:00 PM
Arrive to Bodrum at 8:00 AM
Some words don’t translate well from one language to another – a perfect example of this is the Turkish word keyif. Pronounced “kayfe,” roughly translated it means “the pursuit of idyllic pleasure” or “to do nothing happily” but – as Bodrum locals will tell you, the best way to translate keyif is simply just – vibes.
Depart Bodrum at 8:00 PM
Arrive to Chania, Crete at 8:30 AM
At the top of the marquis in Greek mythology stands the iconic Zeus. The history of one of the most legendary figures of all time begins with his birthplace, the island of Crete. Although shrouded in mystery, recorded details indicate the real historical events that took place on this island and its surrounding seas are just as, if not more, exciting than any fabricated story.
Depart Chania, Crete at 6:00 PM
Enjoy a final day at sea by taking advantage of all the ship has to offer. Spend the day lounging poolside and soaking up the sun with your favorite cocktail in hand or sign up for group fitness classes including yoga, meditation, cycling, HIIT classes, and more.

We don't like to place an age limit on the trip. But in saying that it's best suitable for ages 18+ and that guests are healthy and can get into the spirit of the trip. Our average age range is usually between mid-'30s and mid-'60s but we've also had younger and older on past trips. Our trips are also active and include many walking tours so it may not be suitable if you if you can't spend several hours on your feet, walking around the city and up and down hills.
Absolutely! Although we are not able to match you with a roommate, Virgin Voyages offers private, solo traveler cabins with a modest single supplement. The majority of guests on our trips are solo travelers so you won't be alone!
