Aegean Explorer
Sail through the turquoise waters of the Aegean on the MS Caledonian Sky, a boutique ship made for adventure and relaxation. The Aegean Explorer cruise invites you to step into a world of ancient history and timeless beauty, from the whitewashed villages of Santorini to the bustling markets of Kusadasi. Every day brings a new island, a new story, and plenty of time to unwind under the sun.
This carefully crafted journey blends fascinating culture with laid-back luxury. Explore UNESCO-listed ruins, sip ouzo by the sea, and watch the sunset paint the cliffs of the Greek Isles. With fewer than 100 guests on board, the atmosphere stays personal and relaxed – and the exceptional value makes this an experience that’s as affordable as it is unforgettable.
