Athens & The Greek Isles Cruise

 Book now for best cabins! Summer 2026! 

Get ready for this amazing adventure as we cruise in and out of Athens, sailing the Northern Cyclades Greek Isles in the beautiful Aegean Sea including gems such as Mykonos. We will depart Athens and return one week later, with time at sea, a spectacular morning sail through the Samos Strait, and stops in Kusadasi, Turkey and Patmos, Amorgos, the aforementioned Mykonos and Spetses, Greece. 

We will again be sailing on the Star Clippers cruise line, with this particular venue aboard the Star Flyer, a 4 masted sailing vessel.  The passenger capacity is only 170, and with just about a 1:1 crew to voyager ratio, attention to detail is not spared. 

The Star Flyer is as fleet as the wind and as graceful as swans. It is a true clipper ship, reflecting proud heritage in every inch of its polished brass and gleaming brightwork. Step aboard this unique vessel and discover a new age of sail, where the traditions of the past are happily married to the comforts and amenities of the present day. Star Flyer is a modern cruise ship in every way, created for luxury loving passengers who also love the traditions and romance of the legendary era of sailing ships. 

Star Flyer is 360 feet long and carries only 170 guests in pampered comfort.

Greek Isles cruise. 

 We will have one day of CE, 6 hours in Athens before setting sail. The remaining CE will be on board the ship.  There will be a total of 12 hours of COPE accredited CE provided on this trip.  The CE in clinically relevant, covers topics germane to today’s comprehensive ophthalmic care provider, and is provided by several experts in their respective areas of medical eye care.

  All of our CME is COPE accredited, co-sponsored by the Illinois College of Optometry and approved for Florida re-licensure by CE Broker. 

The continuing education will be provided both on land in Athens and while on board.  The CE will never interfere with excursions and ports of call, so you’ll have plenty of free time to explore each of our stops along the way.  

In Athens, for your pre-cruise stay, the Amalia Hotel Athens has a central and very convenient location, situated next to Syntagma Square with wonderful views of the Parliament and the National Garden. With several shops, restaurants and the underground tube just a 3-minute walk away, it is the ideal accommodation choice for both leisure and business travelers. A family and couple friendly environment for the best holiday vacation. 

 You may consider arriving in Greece a few days before the cruise so that you can explore Athens, and you may even consider extending your time in Athens post-cruise!
