Greek isles cruise with Celestyal Discovery from £859
FROM £859 pp · 7-night Greek Isles cruise aboard Celestyal Discovery from Athens. Mykonos, Santorini, Crete & more. From £859pp May–October 2026.
Seven nights island-hopping through the Greek Aegean without the ferry chaos or endless hotel shuffling. Celestyal Discovery does the heavy lifting, and you get shore excursions thrown in.
The deal
Seven nights aboard Celestyal Discovery departing Athens, May–October 2026. Itinerary hits Mykonos, Kusadasi (for Ephesus), Patmos, Heraklion in Crete, and Santorini. Shore excursions included. From £859 per person. Flights to Athens from £80 return on Aegean Airlines.
Why we like it
You're covering five proper ports without repacking daily. Santorini and Mykonos alone justify the trip, but Kusadasi gets you to Ephesus—one of the Mediterranean's best archaeological sites—without the faff of sorting your own transport. Shore excursions included means no surprises at the gangway.
Celestyal Discovery is smaller than the floating cities, which actually works in your favour here: narrower ships reach ports like Patmos that mega-liners skip. May–October is sensible—warm enough, not peak August madness (or prices).
The catch: £859 is cruise-only. Factor in £80 flights, transfers, tips, and onboard spending. Cabins on older ships mean less space than newer fleets; check what you're getting before committing.
How to book
