ADVENTURES FROM CYPRUS TO SANTORINI

Sailing for the first time from Cyprus, Jewel of the Seas® unlocks the best of the Greek Isles and the eastern Mediterranean.
Get ready for an epic island-hop onboard a true fleet-favorite. Making its debut in Cyprus, Jewel of the Seas offers sun-soaked cruises to Greece and the eastern Mediterranean this summer with stops at top-rated isles and cultural capitals. Like fun-loving Mykonos with its many beach bars and picture-perfect bays. Ancient ruins and glamorous beach clubs in Rhodes. Athens’s vibrant city streets and lively rooftop bars. And Santorini’s charming blue-domed villages. All onboard a ship that offers plenty of ways to unwind in the sunshine between adventures onshore.

ADVENTURE IN ATHENS
Greece’s capital, Athens, is also the oldest inhabited city in Europe. Roam its winding cobblestone streets and you’ll see the city’s rich history everywhere you look — interwoven with hip boutiques, innovative architecture and a thriving contemporary art scene. Head to the Athenian Riviera and you’ll find glam golden beaches that rival those in Crete and Rhodes.

EXPLORE THE GREEK ISLES
Cruises to Greece are all about vibrant history, beautiful landscapes and one-of-a-kind experiences. Explore the ruins of ancient civilizations. Indulge in wine from centuries-old vineyards. Swim in the jewel-bright waters of the Aegean during a relaxing beach break. Sailing from Limassol, Cyprus, Jewel of the Seas takes you to some of the region’s most famous destinations — including fun- Mykonos and Santorini.

THERE'S MORE TO THE MED
A Mediterranean cruise onboard Jewel of the Seas is your ticket to two of the best-kept secrets in the region — Rhodes and Crete. Nestled in the easternmost reaches of the Mediterranean Sea, these lesser-explored isles beckon with just as much beauty, culture and history as their better-known sisters in the Aegean. Like the remains of temples dedicated to ancient Greek gods, medieval castles, and plenty of pristine beaches for sun-seekers. 

SCENIC SANTORINI
Santorini is one of the most popular destinations on cruises to Greece, and with good reason. With its quaint, blue-domed villages, crystal-clear hot springs, secluded black-sand beaches and well-preserved ruins, it offers plenty for history buffs and outdoor adventurers alike.

MARVELS IN MYKONOS
You’ll feel Mykonos’s energy the moment you step ashore. It has all the charm you’d expect of the Greek Isles — pretty hilltop churches, winding cobblestone streets and cozy tavernas. But it’s also home to some of the world’s most famous beach clubs, frequented by celebrities and jet-setters fresh off the mega-yachts in Mykonos’s glittering blue bays.

DISCOVER RHODES
Just off the coast of Turkey, surrounded by the sapphire-bright waters of the eastern Mediterranean, you’ll find an island of many marvels. Once home to one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, Rhodes still boasts the stately ruins of a sprawling acropolis, a medieval walled city and beaches that rival those in Santorini and Mykonos.

FROM CYPRUS TO ENDLESS NEW DISCOVERIES

Kick off your adventure in Limassol, Cyprus, where culture, history and natural beauty combine. From there, head toward some of the most iconic destinations in the Aegean and the Mediterranean onboard Jewel of the Seas. Soak up the sunshine on a beach in Rhodes, savor delicious Greek mezes in a taverna in Mykonos or Santorini, and explore ancient ruins in Athens and Crete on these unforgettable Greek and Mediterranean cruises.

SO MUCH TO SEE IN CYPRUS

If you’ve never been Cyprus before, this is the perfect chance to discover its marvels before you take off on your cruise to Greece. Take a dip in the Adonis Baths, where — according to myth — Aphrodite had many of her children. Hike the wild nature trails in Cape Greco. And visit the ruins of the ancient city of Amathus, located a quick drive from Limassol.

GO ALL OUT FOR GREEK ADVENTURES

Get ready for one of the best Mediterranean cruises ever. Explore the acropolis of Lindos, then unwind on a beautiful beach in Rhodes. Tour crusader castles and Roman baths in Cyprus. Dig in to authentic mezes paired with ouzo in one of Mykonos’s seaside tavernas. And soak up views of the Parthenon from one of Athens’s many lively rooftop bars.

 
 

CUISINE
BOLD FLAVORS FROM SHIP TO SHORE

Food is an important part of any vacation — and when you sail on a Mediterranean cruise, delicious dining is guaranteed. Enjoy fresh-caught seafood and traditional Greek bites from Santorini to Mykonos, then treat your tastebuds to savory spiced meats and bold, Mediterranean flavors in Rhodes and Cyprus. In between adventures onshore, enjoy world-class kosher cuisine onboard Odyssey of the Seas℠.

EAT LIKE THE GREEKS
Greece is a country renowned for its cuisine, and you’ll find that each island offers its own unique spin on traditional dishes. Enjoy an Aegean take on paella while overlooking Ornos Bay in Mykonos. Munch on pita smeared with creamy fava in Santorini. And on the mainland in Athens, enjoy crispy tomato fritters and fried cheese saganaki in one of the capital’s many rooftop cafes.

TRY THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET
While lots of dishes in Rhodes and Cyprus resemble those you’ll find throughout Greece, these two islands’ proximity to Turkey and the Middle East lend their cuisine a slightly different twist. Spiced meats feature more prominently than seafood, and cumin and coriander flavor hearty mains and savory pastries. If you like sweets try some sujuk, made from grape must, honey and nuts.
