Corinth Canal & Ancient Greece
Highlights:
- Experience the excitement and awe of navigating Greece’s incredible Corinth Canal
- Capture the history, culture and beauty of Greek islands and cities
- Take in the ancient sites of Crete, Olympia and Athens
Excitement and awe will grasp you as record-breaking Braemar navigates Greece’s remarkable Corinth Canal on this unforgettable Mediterranean voyage. Sailing serenely between the canal’s carefully carved cliffs, which pinch to a gap of just 24 metres between them at their narrowest point, you’ll enjoy a unique experience rarely undertaken on an ocean cruise ship, making memories that will last a lifetime.
Capture the rich history, culture and beauty of Greek islands too; your smaller ship docks centrally in almost every destination, closer to their highlights. Step back to the Byzantine era, taking in the Cretan delights and striking architecture of Agios Nikolaos; tour from Katakolon to Olympia to explore the birthplace of the Olympic Games, or to the Mercouri Vineyards; and take time to bathe in the Mediterranean sunshine, relaxing on your pick of Kefalonia’s beautiful beaches. The piece de resistance is a call at Pireaus, gateway to Athens and its iconic ancient sites such as the Acropolis and the mighty Parthenon.
