Tonight's dinner on board will feature wines from Chios and Ikaria, two neighboring islands whose ancient wines were once among the most sought-after in the Mediterranean.

Return to the ship for dinner on board, paired with wines made from Santorini’s unique volcanic terroir, as you set sail towards Milos. Overnight at sea.

Tonight's dinner on board will feature a selection of Cretan wines presented by your wine host, Tim Clarke.
Monemvasia’s fame was built on its legendary Malvasia wine (also known as Malmsey), once among the most prized wines in Europe. Visit Monemvasia Winery Tsimbidi, a pioneering estate bringing this ancient tradition back to life.
