Athens (Piraeus) Cruise Reviews

While most of us were disappointed in not being able to visit The Holy Lands - we certainly understood and found Malta to be an excellent alternative. We thoroughly enjoyed the Greek islands and had wonderful excursions with the exception of Cyprus. The excursion in Cyprus was interesting but it seemed as if there was little pride in the island - many abandoned residential and commercial ...

I sailed with them before on a river cruise the year before and loved it. Although the ports of call were changed due to the conflict in Israel, we were very happy with the replacement ports of Cyprus and Malta. The ship’s crew was fantastic. Always helpful and smiling. The ship itself is beautiful. The shore excursions (both included and optional) were great selections. Our only wish was that ...

We used O's Extraordinary Savings Sale to get our B3 cabin for a mere $1749 PP plus $300 OBC PP (which paid our gratuities). So, the price alone made this trip worth it. BUT we travel for itineraries and this one did it for us. We only had the 1 sea day, which I do not enjoy that much, but we had Athens, Kavala, Istanbul, Messina, Naples, Rome, La Spezia (changed due to weather from Livorno), ...

Of course we sailed Oceania for the food, and we were not desappointed. We are Celebrity & HAL cruises fans, it was our first experience on Oceania and not the last. I wouldnt select them for a transatlantic cruise cause the boat is a bit to quiet, our 10 days Mediterranean cruise with a new port everyday,, this Riviera is perfect. You wonder when or if you will get lobster on any other cruise ...

We chose this cruise because it offered the opportunity to see many of the world’s finest cities, cultures, and historic landmarks in comfort and security. Viking delivered on promises of elegant ship design, culinary excellence, quality of staff, and excursion management. Everything was first class yet simple and understated. We also chose Viking to handle our air travel and transfers and were ...

Ship: The Viva has the most modern design of any NCL ship we have ever cruised on, with a modern motif and artwork strewn all about the ship. Being in the Prima class, it is a new concept for NCL. Clearly NCL is upping their game to attract a clientele who will pay a little more for a more upscale experience. We’ve cruised on multiple NCL ships (large and small), but this ship is more about ...

This was my second cruise with Azamara and, booking very early, I landed a suite as a solo and "what a difference a suite makes." First time was in a veranda cabin -- not bad, aside from the notorious shower, but very small. The suite is essentially twice the size, the bathroom much bigger and the veranda wonderful. The butler was a joy to know, attentive, friendly, just great. Also, dining in ...

We sailed 3 legs from Athens to Sydney over 44 days and we could not fault anything about this ship. So much so even after so long we did not want to get off. The inclusions were great which included fresh buttered popcorn, tapas on back deck which include bbq prawns and octopus, peanut brittle and many different lollies, gelato ice cream and all soft drink and juices. All restaurants were ...

We got a great deal on the cruise and loved the itinerary but knew nothing about the ship Wow we were surprised Everything about virgin is above and beyond. It’s all fresh and clean. With many modern touches The staff are genuinely happy to work and that atmosphere radiates through the ship. The staff are friendly relaxed and interact with the passengers all the time Food in all the ...
