We did Empires last spring, and I think that is the same one G.Girl just did, as she talked about Zadar, which is on this itinerary. I give this cruise two big thumbs up. I haven't been to Split, so no slight on that port, but Santorini is spectacular. We were there in early April, and were lucky enough to be the only ship in port that day. We got to have this amazing place practically to ourselves. It's hard to say whether Santorini or Dubrovnik were our favorites.

 

Another point in this itinerary's favor is that it is two days longer that the other one you are considering. If you are traveling a long way, a few extra days are a bonus.

We are on the Empires next April 15th because my sweetie wanted to see Santorini.

Val, we are doing a half-day Athens tour (no Acropolis or museums, as we're doing those on our own) through George's Taxi. www.taxigreece.com  

 

We are going to do it on the afternoon we embark, so pickup at the port.  But they will pick you up from your hotel if you wish.

Thank you!  Is the Viking shuttle free from Plaka to the ship?

Hi, we hired a private guide from ‘tours by locals’. It isn’t cheap but the places she showed us we would have never found on our own. Part of the trip went to the glass factory and was fascinating. When they take you through the showroom they say their is no obligation to buy but they hope you will. Oh, and the prices will make your toes curl up !

Is this Athens or Venice on the private tour?  And which tour was it?  Thanks,  Val

Thank you Mark!

Please tell me which tour you are taking and where you are  staying.  We will be in Athens and are researching ahead! Thank you, Val
