Day 1 - Valletta, Malta

Welcome to Valletta, Malta. This may be Europe’s smallest capital, but the 16th century city offers so much for its size. It was crowned the European Capital of Culture in 2018 for its brilliant mix of history and modernity. Amidst the cobblestone streets and ancient walls of this World Heritage-listed city, you’ll find a lively art, culinary and nightlife scene.

Step on board Scenic Eclipse II this afternoon. Your journey into wonder begins with a warm greeting from the Captain and the crew. Meet your butler and settle into your spacious suite. Sip on a glass of Champagne and explore your luxurious suite, then join your fellow guests at the Sky Bar to toast the start of an unforgettable voyage.

Please book your flight to arrive into Valletta prior to 02:00 PM.

Day 2 - Syracuse, Italy

Spend the day in the Sicilian city of Syracuse. Explore the remnants of ancient civilisations in the Archaeological Park of Neapolis, where the Greek Theatre and Roman Amphitheatre stand as testaments to the city's rich past. Stroll through the charming streets of Ortigia, the historic heart of Syracuse, with its baroque architecture and bustling markets. Indulge in Sicilian cuisine at waterfront trattorias, savouring local delicacies like arancini and cannoli.

Day 3 - At Sea

After a day of exploration, today enjoy some relaxation at sea. Take some time to explore the ship and familiarise yourself with all the areas on board your new ultra-luxury home. Visit the Sky Bar and outdoor Vitality Pool on Deck 10. Step into the tranquil Senses Spa# on Deck 6 with its steam rooms, saunas, plunge pool and exclusive KLAFS Salt Therapy Lounge.

Tonight's entertainment at the state-of-the-art theatre will give you an opportunity to appreciate more magical moments on board Scenic Eclipse II before you retreat to your ultra-luxury suite. Alternatively, choose to dine in the comfort of your suite and have your evening nightcap brought by the butler.

Day 4 - Monemvasia, Greece

Start your day with an early session in the gym or some guided stretching in the Pilates studio. Then set off for a day of exploration in Monemvasia, a hidden gem on the Peloponnese coast of Greece. Step back in time as you explore the medieval fortress town perched atop a rocky peninsula, with its labyrinth of narrow streets and Byzantine churches. Wander through the Lower Town, where charming stone houses and quaint cafes line the cobblestone streets. Climb to the Upper Town for panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the surrounding countryside.

Day 5 - Nafplion, Greece

Discover the rich tapestry of history as you wander through Nafplion’s charming streets adorned with neoclassical architecture, Venetian fortresses, and Turkish mosques. Explore the winding alleys of the Old Town, where traditional tavernas and quaint cafes beckon you to indulge in local delicacies. Climb the steps to Palamidi Fortress for breathtaking views of the town and sea below or relax on the sandy shores of Arvanitia Beach. See the World Heritage-listed Epidaurus Theatre and archaeological site Mycenae.

Your Discovery Yacht will dock overnight in Nafplion, giving you the opportunity to take an evening stroll before exploring up to 10 all-inclusive dining experiences on board, sampling from fine French cuisine at Lumière^ to vibrant Asian fusion at Koko’s.

Day 6 - Spetses > Hydra, Greece

Your cruise will depart Nafplion for Spetses early this morning. Known as ‘The Island of Jasmine’, Spetses is planted with pine and olive trees and flowers. Explore its cobblestone streets, neoclassical mansions, and tranquil beaches. Stroll along the waterfront or cycle through pine-scented forests. This afternoon, you will cruise to Hydra, where you can lose yourself in narrow alleys of white-washed houses.

While on board Scenic Eclipse II, relax in the sun loungers and cabanas near the Sky Bar. Or enjoy a specialty tea or coffee in the Observation Lounge while reading a book and watching the world float by.

Day 7 - Mykonos, Greece

Welcome to Mykonos, a cosmopolitan island where pristine beaches meet the charm of Cycladic architecture. The island is known for its hedonistic atmosphere, however, it has a more relaxed side to it. Explore the winding streets adorned with whitewashed buildings and vibrant bougainvillea, see its iconic windmills, picturesque churches, and dine in lively waterfront cafes.

This evening, as Scenic Eclipse II departs Mykonos and the twinkling lights of the city disappear, toast to an unforgettable voyage at the Sky Bar on Deck 10. Enjoy a farewell dinner followed by world-class, engaging performances in the state-of-the-art theatre.

Day 8 - Piraeus, Athens

Your voyage concludes this morning in Piraeus, the historic port city of Athens. Known as the birthplace of Western civilisation, Athens is a vibrant tapestry of history and modernity. Standing sentinel above the city is the famous Acropolis, a fortified hill dominated by the Parthenon, atmospheric ruins of a white marble temple built during the height of the ancient Greek Empire.

After one final delicious breakfast on board Scenic Eclipse II, it’s time to disembark your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht, taking with you a lifetime of memories of this truly unique journey in the Mediterranean.  

Please book your flight to depart out of Athens after 12:00 PM.
