Ships offering cruises to the Greek islands cannot be too large in size, so you can get close to the small islands and sail smoothly even in the shallowest waters. For example, we recommend MSC Opera, Costa Pacifica, Explorer Of The Seas or Norwegian Jade. There are many exclusive companies with small luxury yachts that offer itineraries to discover the less touristy and more authentic islands: for example, if you want a wellness vacation, travel with Celestyal Cruises, Variety Cruises or Explora Journeys is the best choice.
