Athens cruise deals from Piraeus offer the definitive Greek Islands experience. This is the bucket-list Mediterranean cruise—Acropolis first, then Santorini's sunsets, Mykonos beaches, and ancient Rhodes. MSC, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Norwegian, and Celestyal (Greek cruise line) operate from Piraeus with 7-10 day itineraries hitting the major islands. Prices range €800-3,500 per person depending on cruise line and season. Celestyal offers exceptional value at €800-1,500 with smaller ships and authentic Greek focus. Summer (July-August) commands peak prices and extreme heat—shoulder season (May-June, September-October) is significantly better for weather, crowds, and cost. Athens itself needs 2-3 days: Acropolis, Ancient Agora, National Archaeological Museum, and the Plaka neighborhood for food. Track prices throughout the year because Greek Islands cruises sell out and prices drop for shoulder season sailings as departure approaches.
