Day 1: Piraeus, Athens | Embark

Recognized as the cradle of Western civilization, Athens blends ancient heritage with contemporary life. Overlooking the city is the Acropolis, a fortified hill crowned by the Parthenon—an iconic marble temple from the height of the Greek Empire. Explore the Plaka district, the city’s oldest neighborhood, nestled at the base of the Acropolis and known for its narrow streets and traditional charm.

This afternoon, board Scenic Eclipse II. Be welcome by the Captain and crew, then introduced to your personal butler. Settle into your spacious suite and enjoy a glass of Champagne as you explore the ship’s world-class amenities. Later, join fellow guests at the Sky Bar to toast the beginning of your voyage.

Please ensure your flight arrives in Athens before 2:00 PM.

Day 2: Mykonos, Greece

Welcome to Mykonos—a cosmopolitan island where pristine beaches blend seamlessly with classic Cycladic architecture. While famed for its lively social scene, Mykonos also offers a quieter, more relaxed side. Stroll through maze-like alleys lined with whitewashed houses and vivid bougainvillea, visit the island’s iconic windmills and charming chapels, and enjoy a meal at one of the bustling waterfront cafes.

Later this evening, return to the ship for dinner with fellow guests or opt for a private in-suite dining experience. Then unwind with a restful night in your Scenic Slumber Bed.

Day 3: Santorini, Greece

Santorini is a dreamy destination with whitewashed buildings and azure-domed churches clinging to dramatic cliffs. Lose yourself in the maze-like streets of Fira or Oia, explore ancient ruins in Akrotiri or relax on the black sands of Perissa Beach. The town is built on a caldera (a volcanic depression), and you can stand at its edge for the breathtaking sunset that paints the sky hues of orange and pink. Scenic Eclipse II will stay docked in Santorini until late tonight, giving you the opportunity to explore the island after dark.

Day 4: Chania, Crete

Chania, the former capital of Crete, boasts a rich history dating back thousands of years, with influences from various civilizations such as Minoan, Venetian, and Ottoman. Its charming maze-like Old Town is known for a picturesque harbor, narrow cobblestone streets, and well-preserved Venetian and Turkish architecture. Spend the day exploring historic landmarks such as the Venetian lighthouse and the Byzantine walls.  

Your ultra-luxury Scenic Eclipse II departs late this evening. Explore the city a little more before enjoying one of up to 10 all-inclusive dining experiences on board, sampling from fine French cuisine at Lumière to vibrant Asian fusion at Koko’s.

Day 5: At Sea

After a day of exploration, today enjoy some relaxation at sea. Join your new friends over a meal at the Azure Bar & Café with beautiful indoor and outdoor seating. Take some time to explore your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht, from the Sky Bar and outdoor Vitality Pool on Deck 10 to the tranquil Senses Spa on Deck 6 with its steam rooms, saunas, plunge pool and KLAFS Salt Therapy Lounge. 

Tonight's entertainment at the state-of-the-art theater will give you another opportunity to appreciate magical moments on board Scenic Eclipse II before you retreat to your ultra-luxury suite. Alternatively, choose to dine in the comfort of your suite and have your evening nightcap brought by the butler.

Day 6: Giardini Naxos (Taormina), Italy

Taormina has been one of Sicily’s most popular summer destinations since the 18th century. Dominating this small town’s landscape is Mount Etna, the largest active volcano in Europe. Located above the Ionian Sea and boasting a rich artistic, historical and cultural heritage, Taormina is known for its stunning ancient theater, pretty piazzas, elegant atmosphere and delicious arancini (Sicilian rice balls). Scenic Eclipse II will be docked here until late tonight, giving you ample time to explore this fabulous town as the city lights start to sparkle.

Day 7: Lipari, Italy

A World Heritage-listed site, Lipari is the largest and most populated of the seven Aeolian islands off the north coast of Sicily. From its panoramic position, a castle overlooks the seafront of pastel-colored townhouses, with windswept highlands and steep cliffs in the distance. Inhabited since 5,000 BC, this volcanic archipelago boasts an historic harbor, picturesque streets and hiking trails. 

Tonight, explore more of the up to 10 all-inclusive on board dining experiences, sampling fine French cuisine at Lumière or vibrant Asian fusion at Koko’s. Alternatively, choose to dine in the comfort of your suite and have your evening nightcap brought by your butler, choosing from a range of premium wines, beers and spirits.

Day 8: Porto Cervo, Sardinia

Indulge with a sleep-in, gently lulled by the rhythm of the ocean. Enjoy breakfast in the alfresco Yacht Club and spend time in the Observation Lounge reading a book or playing a board game as Scenic Eclipse II cruises towards Sardinia.  

Nestled in the heart of Sardinia's Costa Smeralda, this town blends romantic, traditional architecture with vibrant Mediterranean beauty. As the playground of the jet set, Porto Cervo exudes glamour and charm against the backdrop of stunning beaches. Browse the luxurious shops, unwind in a beach club, or sample local culinary delights in one of the city’s restaurants.

Day 9: Mahon, Menorca

Start your day with a coffee delivered to your suite by your butler. You may wish to book a treatment# at the indulgent Senses Spa. Perhaps an ESPA facial# or an alternative therapy such as Ayuverdic massage. 

Life on Menorca flows gently with the waves. Known for its British-style Georgian houses and medieval streets, filled with palaces, churches and fortresses, Mahon is truly Vella i Bella (‘Old and Beautiful’). Discover the town's history as you wander its historic old town, where remnants of the medieval town still stand including an old gate tower.

Day 10: Ibiza, Spain

Ibiza is one of the four main Balearic Islands, a sun-kissed archipelago off the east coast of Spain. It’s known as one of the world’s great party capitals, famed for its beach clubs, bars and nightclubs. Its beaches are undeniably beautiful, but you can also discover archaeological sites and tiny, whitewashed villages almost untouched by modern life. Inland, the island is all limestone hills and lush pine forest, and home to artisan producers.  
 
Once you’ve explored the island, enjoy a drink at the Sky Bar or Yacht Club Terrace while watching the epic Ibiza sunset.

Day 11: Cartagena, Spain

For thousands of years, Cartagena has been a busy port thanks to its natural harbor. This city’s long history is evidenced through its archaeological ruins – the 3rd century fortified castle that overlooks the city and the 2nd century amphitheater. Its old town boasts pretty plazas and a plethora of beautiful Art Nouveau architecture.  

Tonight is your last day on board, so celebrate your journey with a farewell dinner with your new friends. Perhaps choose an elegant dinner at French restaurant Lumière, with pre-dinner drinks at the luxurious Champagne Bar. Then settle in at the spacious Scenic Lounge Bar to enjoy your beverage of choice, whether it be aged whiskey—there are over 130 varieties—or a glass of wine, reflecting on your journey's discoveries.

Day 12: Malaga, Spain | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
Your journey ends in the city of Málaga, on Spain’s spectacular Costa del Sol. The birthplace of Pablo Picasso, Málaga is one of the oldest cities in the world. After one final delicious breakfast on board Scenic Eclipse II, it’s time to disembark your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht, taking with you a lifetime of memories of this truly unique journey in the Mediterranean.  

Please book your flight to depart out of Malaga after 12:00 PM.
