I really like the size and layout of this ship and class. May not have the amenities as the newer bigger ships but a little more intimate.

Watch for the limited happy hours....

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

4 out of 5
Spent the night before the cruise. Great little town with a busy Square and great food and drinks.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

4 out of 5
The port is a bit far from the action so you may want to consider an excursion but public transportation is plentiful and reasonable.

Katakolon (Olympia), Greece

4 out of 5
Nice little town outside of the port area.

Messina, Sicily

4 out of 5
Just strolled around town. Don't miss the clock tower on the hour @ St Maria Cathedral.

Mykonos, Greece

4 out of 5
The winds and seas were rough but well worth it.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

4 out of 5
Perhaps my favorite port. Great to see the start of the silk road and biblical references.

Santorini, Greece

4 out of 5
Consider a ship sponsored excursion on this tender port. However, with the description, we were expecting to need to take the cable car but the bus brought us back to the new Harbor.

Naples, Italy

4 out of 5
Not much time in town with drive to Almafi coast and a trip to Pompeii.

If booking a private shuttle, confirm they have a license to pick you up at the ship. Many, to include the local taxis didn't.
