Pullmantur Cruises – with its 100% Spanish product – is bringing its new “Greek Islands” route to guests this summer, now more Greek than ever. The company has added Crete and Rhodes, two stops that enrich this itinerary designed for those seeking to combine idyllic beaches with crystal-clear, deep blue waters, natural beauty, art, and history.
On the one hand, the inclusion of Crete allows guests to explore Chania, one of the island's most beautiful and interesting towns, and the most important after its capital, Heraklion. Highlights include its picturesque harbor, Venetian-style buildings, and Ottoman-era fortifications. On the other hand, given the current situation in Turkey, the cruise line has decided to replace the planned stop in Marmaris with the island of Rhodes. With this change, Horizon guests will have the opportunity to disembark directly on one of the most beautiful islands in the Aegean Sea. They can choose whether to spend the day in Falikari or Tsampika, some of Greece's best beaches, or be captivated by some of its most unique monuments, such as the Palace of the Grand Masters, the Archaeological and Byzantine Museums, or the Acropolis.
Departing from Piraeus, the first of 13 sailings on this itinerary aboard the Horizon is scheduled for May 21st and the last for September 24th. For your convenience, Pullmantur Cruises offers flights from Madrid and Barcelona to Athens, as well as included airport-port-airport transfers.
After departing from Piraeus, the Horizon will arrive in Mykonos, where guests will enjoy an overnight stay, discovering why this island is world-renowned and attracts thousands of tourists each year. Other stops will take them to Patmos, with its stunning landscapes, or to Santorini: its blue domes and white facades contrasting with the sea create a unique scene.
In addition, passengers will be able to discover the Pullmantur Cruises experience with a product designed 100% for the Spanish public:
- A magnificent gastronomy designed by the renowned chef with two Michelin stars, Paco Roncero who, together with the Pullmantur Cruises Chef team, has designed the menu that enhances the Spanish and Mediterranean diet.
- 'All Inclusive' during the cruise.
- an in-flight entertainment program for everyone.
- A diverse range of excursions allows passengers to experience each destination according to their preferences. Some specific options for the 'Greek Islands' tour include a visit to the island of Delos with its legendary Sanctuary of Apollo or a jeep adventure on the island of Mykonos; enjoying nature and the beach in Kalo Livadi; experiencing traditional Greek cuisine in Santorini; or stepping back in time while strolling through the Acropolis, dominated by the Parthenon, or the Temple of Zeus.
- a crew that takes care of every detail and has been recognized 8 consecutive years with the Excellence Award.
For the most discerning passengers, Pullmantur Cruises offers The Waves Yacht Club, a dedicated space for suite guests. Guests will have access to a private lounge and solarium, along with numerous benefits such as personalized service, priority embarkation and disembarkation, premium amenities, unlimited Wi-Fi in The Waves Yacht Club area, a premium beverage package, and laundry service (services included depending on the chosen suite category: Black or White).
