Star Collector: Mediterranean Masterpieces of Italy & Northern Greece
History will come alive as you start your journey in Rome and end in Athens. From Rome, you will set sail for Sorrento, Italy where you can explore the nearby UNESCO archaeological sites of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Torre Annunziata. Messina in Sicily, will bring you to an active volcano and UNESCO site, Mt. Etna. Drive through a fertile paradise of green vineyards and golden citrus groves thanks to the rich volcanic soil, passing through villages such as Santa Venerina and Zafferana Etnea. The quaint fishing town of Gythion, which was once known as Sparta, is an easy area to wander on foot, or you can join an excursion to visit the Dyros Caves or Mystras Byzantine City. Visit the medieval city of Monemvasía with its narrow passages, Byzantine castles, and crumbling castles, all built on a giant rock. You'll have two chances to make the most of your time in Athens, so don't miss out on the extensive collection of artifacts at the Acropolis Museum, or hike to the top of the Acropolis to see the Temple of Athena Nike and the famous Pantheon. An overnight in Thessaloniki will give you added time to discover the best of this Greek city at night. In Volos, visit the Meteora Byzantine Monasteries near the town of Kalabata. Wrap up your cruise with a relaxing day on Skopelos, this charming island is best known as the setting for the film, Mamma Mia!

Star Legend
Star Legend is large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbors and hidden coves that others can’t reach.
