SEABOURN Cruise Line has received approval from Greece (pictured) to relaunch its cruises in the country from Jul.
The cruise line will operate a series of seven-day sailings round-trip from Athens during the northern summer, beginning 03 Jul.
Seabourn Ovation will explore beautiful ports throughout the Greek Isles, with the voyages scheduled to open for booking on 12 Apr.
Guests will also be able to book longer 14-day voyages, which combine individual seven-day cruises, with a variety of different ports on each, including Agios Nikolaos, Mykonos, Nafplion, Patmos, Rhodes, Spetsai, Thira, as well as Limassol and Paphos in Cyprus.
Each sailing includes a sea day to spend time on board, and the cruises are open to any guests who are fully vaccinated against coronavirus a minimum of 14 days before cruising.
Proof of vaccination and the dates given will be required, with approved forms of documentation to be confirmed closer to time of departure.
This confirmation must be shown at the terminal prior to boarding.
“The entire Seabourn family is truly excited to provide our award-winning travel experience aboard Seabourn Ovation starting again this Jul in the Greek Isles,” said Seabourn President Josh Leibowitz.
“We’re grateful to the people of Greece for welcoming Seabourn back to the Mediterranean.”
The country’s Minister for Tourism Harry Theoharis said Greece was looking forward to welcoming back Seabourn, which has been visiting the nation for more than 30 years.
“Tourism is a vital part of our economy and our plans place a priority on health and safety to help restore traveller confidence to all,” he said.
“We are sure that once again all your guests will have the best experiences in Greece creating memories to last a lifetime.”
