Signature Greek Isles Yacht Voyage with Athens Stay, 15 May 2027

A golden hour in Santorini
Fly business class to Athens for two relaxing days, then sail round trip aboard Ilma to Mykonos, Bodrum and Santorini’s glowing caldera.

Cruise overview
Waking up in Athens before a voyage has its own particular feeling. Two days in the city give you time to lose yourself in the Plaka neighbourhood, stand beneath the Parthenon, and let the ancient world settle around you before Ilma draws you out to sea. From Piraeus, the yacht traces a route through some of the Aegean’s most iconic waters, pausing at Mykonos, with its white lanes and weathered windmills, then crossing to Bodrum on Turkey’s Aegean coast, where a crusader castle looks out over a marina full of wooden gullets. The journey ends at Santorini, sailing into the caldera at the kind of hour when the cliffs glow and the whole scene seems almost implausible. Throughout, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s approach keeps things quietly considered, with gourmet dining, unhurried service and a scale that feels more like a private club than a cruise ship.
