Jewels of the Cyclades Cruise

Jewels of the Cyclades Cruise

Join our ever-popular 7-night sail around the unique Cyclades!

Cyclades: Dazzling white villages, golden beaches and clear azure water are just the start of what these islands have to offer. Ancient Greek geographers gave this unique cluster of islands the name Cyclades because they saw that they formed a circle ("kyklos" in Greek) of sorts around the sacred island of Delos.

According to myth, the islands were the debris that remained after a battle between giants. In reality, they resulted from colossal geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Their colours are blue and white like the Greek flag. The islands come in all sizes and, though the ingredients are the same - incomparable light, translucent water, heavenly beaches, lustrous white buildings and bare rock, each one has its own distinct character...
