The MV Aegean odyssey is a small ship that recently entered service after a major refitting. because it's small it doesn't have some of the amenities of larger ships (casino, shows, etc.). I would characterize it as a 3 star (bordering on 4 star) cruise.
The ship supports the "voyages to Antiquity" program whereby a pleasant cruise is made marvellous by the inclusion of top-notch excursion and wonderful lecturers.
We sailed from Rome to Sorrento, to Paestum, all around Sicily (6 nights), up the Dalmatian coast of Croatia (Split and Dubrovnik) and disembarked in Venice.
