2027 Greek Isles with Lesbos Cruise

Discover the Greek Isles with Olivia

Embarking on this Greek Isles cruise with your Olivia Community feels like stepping into a dream – one woven from ancient legends, sun-kissed islands, and the timeless rhythm of Aegean life. From the moment you depart Athens to the final golden sunset in Santorini, each day unveils a new tapestry of breathtaking scenery, rich traditions, and unforgettable experiences. October is a wonderful time to visit when the weather is getting cooler and the tourist season is winding down.

And this year, for the first time in decades, we’re taking you to the enchanting island of Lesbos – homeland of Sappho, the renowned ancient poet whose lyrical masterpieces celebrated love, beauty and the bonds between women. This stunning voyage takes you to the best Greek Islands and Turkey, where every moment will feel like a postcard come to life, all in the company of 700 of your closest Olivia friends.

Disembarkation
Disembarkation will begin once the ship has cleared customs and can be as early as 7 am. You will receive colored luggage tags to designate the time you will be called to disembark the ship.
Transfers to the Airport
Transfers from the ship to the Athens International Airport (ATH) will be available for purchase on board the ship. The Athens airport is approximately 31 miles from the cruise ship port of Piraeus. Depending on traffic, the transfer time is approximately 40-60 minutes.
You may book your departure flight after 11am on Saturday, October 9, 2027 to allow enough time to transfer to the airport. Exact disembarkation port location will be available approximately 30 days prior to sailing.
Vacation Stretchers
We will offer a 3-night and 1-night pre-vacation stretcher in Athens. These packages will be available to book approximately 9 months prior to the cruise. Since we are offering pre-cruise vacation stretchers, we will not offer any post-cruise vacation stretchers in Athens.
