The Erechtheion temple with its Caryatid columns on the Acropolis in Athens, Greece

Athens
Trieste

Ten nights, seven ports, and one floating disco that simply refuses to behave. Bring sunscreen, stamina, and your nerve — the Mediterranean isn't ready for us, and honestly that's her problem.

The Voyage

The route, port by gorgeous port

Greek islands, the Turkish coast, an overnight in Istanbul, then up the Adriatic to Italy — with two sea days to rehydrate, reapply, and reassemble your dignity.

Sun · Jul 5 · Depart 7:00 PM

Athens (Piraeus) Embark

Greece
Board, drop the bags, locate the nearest bar — priorities, darling. Fly in a day or two early for the Acropolis, before the jet lag and the cocktails team up against you.
Mon · Jul 6 · 10:00 AM → 2:30 AM

Mykonos

Greece
The gay capital of the Aegean, and she KNOWS it. We linger till 2:30 AM, so there's time for the beach, the boys, and the bad decisions. All three. You're welcome.

Tue · Jul 7 · 9:00 AM → 3:30 PM

Kuşadası

Turkey · gateway to Ephesus
Ruins older than your oldest grudge. Ephesus is genuinely breathtaking; the bazaar is where your willpower goes to die. Haggle, hunty.

Wed–Thu · Jul 8–9 · overnight

Istanbul Overnight

Turkey
Two continents, one obscenely beautiful city, and an overnight in port — Hagia Sophia by day, a little nightlife after. Pace yourself; she is a LOT.

Fri · Jul 10

Day at Sea

Adriatic-bound
Pool deck, t-dance, spa, repeat. Today the ship IS the destination — comport yourself accordingly (please don't).
Sat · Jul 11 · 9:00 AM → 10:00 PM

Santorini

Greece
Blue domes, caldera drama, and that Oia sunset every queen has posted. Our late stay means you see it with your own two eyes — not just the grid.
Sun · Jul 12

Day at Sea

Crossing the Adriatic
Round two at sea. Hydrate, nap, reapply, gossip. You've earned the rest and — let's be honest — you need it.
Mon · Jul 13 · 8:00 AM → 6:00 PM

Dubrovnik

Croatia
Medieval walls, terracotta rooftops, and yes — King's Landing. Do the walls early, before the sun and the day-trippers come for your edges.
Tue · Jul 14 · 10:00 AM → 5:00 PM

Zadar

Croatia
Roman ruins and a Sea Organ the waves literally play for you. Quieter, dreamier, criminally slept-on — like a few of us.
Wed · Jul 15 · Arrive 7:00 AM

Trieste Disembark

Italy · Venice ≈ 2 hrs away
And just like that, she's over (devastating). Carry on to Venice to ease the heartbreak, or fly home and start the countdown to next time.
