By guest blogger Steve NewmanAs a region, the eastern Mediterranean does not appear to be so well explored by dedicated cruisers as other parts of the world. However, in reality, it is one of the most fascinating cruise destinations around.
One cruise set to go there shortly will be operated by Silversea Cruises who maintain a deserved reputation for cruises that deliver 6-star luxury. They have an exceptional choice of destinations and a fleet that is as accommodating and as wonderfully elegant as you could imagine.
The company’s Istanbul to Athens 7-night cruise departing on the 10th of September with their newest ship Silver Spirit (above) looks to be a mouth-watering experience for the discerning cruise traveller who seeks that high standard of service and more than a taste of exotic eastern culture and history.
Exploring the coast of the Black Sea, Spirit visits Constanta, Odessa, Yalta and Sevastopol before re-entering the Mediterranean and calling at the magical island of Mykonos.
Mykonos Town is a colourful maze of narrow streets lined by whitewashed houses with bright blue doors and shutters. As an attractive backdrop, those famous windmills are lined up like toy soldiers on the hillside, reminders of a time when wind power was used to grind the island's grain. The many bars and restaurants leading down to the waterside are a great place to relax.
Silver Spirit herself is an evolution in luxury cruising. With one of the highest space-to-guest ratios, she accommodates only 540 in ultimate style and comfort. Her interiors hint at a sophisticated 1930s Art Deco ambiance, with the latest modern innovations and advance maritime technology.
There is also a choice of up to six dining venues, an expanded spa, and the largest suites in the fleet, fully 95% of which feature a private veranda.
Silversea Cruises will be exhibiting at The Cruise Show in Birmingham in October.
