It's All Greek to Us
Family Time in the Med
2021 may seem a long way off but when it comes to Tauck’s new small ship and riverboat cruises, it’s time to get planning.
Tauck is setting sail on exciting new cruises in the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf and Aegean seas, and celebrating a pageantry of cultural arts and achievements on distinctive new riverboat journeys on the Danube and the Dutch waterways. Each visits ports of call steeped in history and hospitality to offer you a look at local life, past and present, with many signature surprises along the way.
We’re particularly excited about the new “A Greek Family Odyssey.” The whole family explores legendary antiquities and cultural gems from Athens to the Peloponnese, Crete and the Greek Isles together on this 10-day Tauck Bridges odyssey featuring a 7-night voyage aboard Le Bougainville. The cruise begins and ends in the Greek capital, Athens; explore ancient wonders like the Acropolis, and enjoy an exclusive dinner at the Zappeion. Enjoy a full transit aboard Le Bougainville of the 19th-century Corinth Canal, too narrow for most modern ships to navigate today. Call on Itea for a choice of excursions to ancient Delphi. From Katakolon, you can choose to visit ancient Olympia, home to the original Olympic Games of antiquity, and take a scenic seaside drive; or you can sail to Pylos and choose a kayaking excursion or a visit to the ruins of a 13th-century Venetian fortress in Methoni. At the historic former Spartan port of Gytheio, choose from excursions to Mystras, kayaking, a sea-cave visit, an organic cooking class or beachfront fun. From Rethymnon on Crete, enjoy two days of activity choices on this historic island. And on the fabled island of Santorini, choices will include an excursion to Akrotiri, hiking, swimming at a volcano, and more. Complete details and pricing available in April 2020.
