Pack your camera and get ready to spend nine days and eight nights living your dreams on Olivia’s picture-perfect Italy, Croatia & Greece Luxury Cruise. From the numerous spectacular ports of call — Venice, Pula, Split, Dubrovnik, Corfu, Santorini, Mykonos, and Athens—to the relaxed luxury of Windstar’s newly-refurbished ms Wind Surf, this all-Olivia vacation offers only the best!
Your Experience
Venice’s canals, deft gondoliers, delicate bridges, winding cobblestone streets, and Renaissance architecture will enchant you. Dubrovnik’s centuries-old monasteries and walled medieval-era Old Town are treats for history buffs. And this fascinating walking city has a beautiful backdrop: the aqua Adriatic Sea. Explore Corfu with your new Olivia friends — the architecture, culture, and cuisine are top-notch. Don’t miss the opportunity to sample moussaka and dolmades!
Admire Mykonos’ striking white-washed buildings and azure sky and marvel at Santorini’s black sand beaches, magnificent volcanic crater, and cliff-top houses. Onboard, catch up with your new friends over a delicious meal, then enjoy the evening’s entertainment. End your cruise in historic Athens, Greece and explore the famous Acropolis. Extend your vacation
with Olivia on a pre-cruise stretcher in Venice, Italy and a post-cruise stretcher in Athens, Greece.
Your Activities
Whether you crave a local meal of regional specialties, a gondola ride through Venice’s canals, or a day wandering Santorini with your camera in tow, this vacation will delight you. Black sand beaches? Check. Whitewashed churches and hilltop houses? Check. Museums, Roman ruins, shopping, and sun? Check. Your days will be filled with exciting opportunities to take in the best of the regions we are visiting, as well as ample time to relax and soak in the sights and sounds of the local culture over a specialty pastry and coffee or a glass of wine.
Onboard, you’ll be treated to Olivia’s signature activities and entertainment; you’ll mix, mingle, dine and relax with your new friends as this beautiful upscale ship sails the bluest of waters.
Your Ship
Crisp white sails, warm teak decks, and friendly faces abound on the Windstar’s casually elegant Wind Surf, which carries just over 300 guests. You’ll enjoy wide-open, uncrowded teak decks. Newly-refurbished staterooms and public areas will make your onboard experience just as special as your time in port. Imagine a small luxury ship with amazing cuisine and an attentive staff, where casual attire, a relaxed attitude, and little luxuries are the norm and you’re beginning to get the idea!
