Itinerary Overview

Aboard the yacht Panorama on an incredible Mediterranean Islands cruises, we visit Greece’s Cyclades, a circle of islands surrounding the sacred sanctuary of Delos, birthplace of Apollo and Artemis and one of the most important archaeological sites in the western world. On our Greek islands cruise  you will see  the Greek islands of the imagination and the ideal, with colorful fishing boats reflected in azure waters, whitewashed villages cascading down scrabbled slopes that smell of rosemary and lavender, and craggy headlands punctuated by sandy beaches that splashed the dreams of centuries of romantics. On our Greek Islands cruise you will see superstar islands like Santoríni and Mikonos flaunt well-deserved reputations, while less-glamorous wonders like Folégandros and Naxos relax with a confident allure, and many of the Cyclades remain virtually unknown to all but the Greeks and the discerning traveler.

The Panorama is made for these waters, with their snug harbors, scenic coastlines, agile winds and pocketed swimming holes. Our Greek islands cruise expedition in the Cyclades is an organized mosaic of highlighted island jewels, profound historic substance, overlooked day-to-day living, and the sensual delight of Mediterranean flavor, flora, color and sea. We’ve devoted one unscheduled day in the middle of the week entirely to exploration, utilizing the Panorama’s versatility and the crew’s knowledge of their home waters to seek out those special places, and to allow the versatility in the itinerary to improvise around the wind and sea conditions. Panorama’s ability to sail quickly, and just as quickly drop anchor for a refreshing swim, ensures that we will always make the most of the day and the situation. It’s the perfect way to experience the Mediterranean islands that the gods called home. Make sure to check out our Mediterranean cruise videos for an in-depth experience!
