One-way cruises between Athens and Venice visiting Albania, Montenegro, and Croatia en route

PORT WASHINGTON, NY (February 4, 2008) – Elegant Cruises & Tours (www.elegantcuises.com) is offering super value cruises between Athens and Venice, two of history’s most storied cities,  on Elegant’s “Cultural Crossroads of the Ionian and Adriatic Seas” itinerary.  Cruise passengers receive 10 percent off regular rates – up to $900 per person in savings—plus $800 in complimentary shore excursions when booking “Cultural Crossroads of the Ionian and Adriatic Seas” on or before March 31, 2009.

 

The azure waters of the Ionian and Adriatic seas touch the shores of cities and islands rich in art, architecture, antiquity and natural beauty. This special 11-day/10-night cruise aboard the 62-passenger yacht-like m/s Monet visits the Mediterranean “gems” of Greece, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia and Italy. Ports of call include Piraeus/Athens, Delphi, Argostoli on Kefalonia Island, Albania’s Vlora (for Apollonia), Kotor, Dubrovnik, Split, Rovinj and Venice with shipboard overnights in Athens, Dubrovnik and Venice.  The complimentary shore excursions—included in the cruise fare—take passengers to the Acropolis in Athens, the 5th century archaeological site of Apollonia, the medieval walled city of Kotor, a World Heritage Site, and  Split’s Palace of Diocletian, also a World Heritage Site, as well as other points of interest.

 

Elegant’s “Cultural Crossroads of the Ionian and Adriatic Seas” cruise departs June 7, sailing from Piraeus/Athens to Venice. A nearly identical reverse itinerary sails May 27 from Venice to Athens. Cruise only rates for both departure dates begin at $4,795 per person, less the 10 percent per person savings.  Group rates and full ship charters are also available.   As onboard all Elegant Cruises & Tours voyages, complimentary house wine and beer are served with lunch and dinner,
