Destination Spotlight

The Greek Isles

The unique qualities of island life - strong communities, well-defined customs and history, colourful characters and unforgettable sights - are nowhere more evident than in the many thousands of Greek islands, spread out like a precious necklace around the Greek mainland.

The gorgeous Eastern Mediterranean climate and the utterly relaxed and friendly welcome of the Islands beckon leisure travellers back year after year - not least new and dedicated cruise guests, keen to enjoy new experiences and return to old favourites.

Jewels of an ancient nation

Greek Isles Star Buys FREE

Colourful Corfu Amongst the most sparkling Greek Island jewels is Corfu - off the west coast of mainland Greece and Albania and one of the Ionian Islands. It’s a place of clear blue waters, sandy beaches, hot sun and fun, but Corfu is also an island filled with history and culture. Inland, it’s redolent of the scent of pine, olives, oranges and lemons, and the unmistakeable sound of Greek music. By the seaside it echoes with the sound of relaxing holidaymakers, chatting in the languages of all parts of the world. Corfu, also known as the ‘Emerald Island’, is truly enchanting.

£1329PP CRUISE & STAY

The Kaleidoscope of Crete Of course, another is the biggest of the islands - Crete. Culturally and historically rich, with a spectacular landscape of soaring mountains, and lush, plunging gorges, Crete is the stuff of legend - artists and craftspeople making and selling their wares; music and dancing everywhere on the island, - not least in its ancient capital city Heraklion - and a local people entirely relaxed and friendly, making the island a memorable and beguiling destination for cruise travellers of all tastes and ages.

Bohemian Mykonos It's impossible adequately to cover the myriad Greek Islands, but another with much to recommend a visit there is Mykonos - an island in the Cyclades group, lapped by the Ionian Sea. It’s an island unique in a number of ways, not least in its rugged and jagged bays giving it the shape of a butterfly. Redolent of Greek tradition and atmosphere, Mykonos nonetheless also offers a lively and youthful nightlife, and the combination of the two makes it exceptionally popular with cruise passengers young and not so young. Pervading the island, the rather Bohemian attitude of many of the local people makes for a relaxed, easygoing atmosphere, as does Mykonos’ beautiful scenery, dotted with colourful windmills.

Greece and her islands are served mostly by fly-cruises - many embarking in Venice to the north, and Rome - around the toe of Italy. Many of our cruisers choose to extend their stay in these popular cities, please ask our Cruise Concierge who are always on hand to advise, assist and tailor-make the perfect cruise or cruise and stay holiday for you.

All-Inclusive Luxury Cruising

Today's premium cruise lines make many extravagant claims for themselves ultimate luxury; elegant accommodations; unforgettable excursions and all-inclusive onboard living. Although perhaps a little less well known than most, Oceania Cruises is an exemplar of premium cruising. It's four medium-sized, but opulent, ships can visit intriguing, small ports of call, inaccessible to the larger lines; almost all its suites and cabins have a balcony and its crew to guest ratio is second to none. Life aboard Oceania's ships is unashamedly relaxed and truly all-inclusive - the epitome of understated elegance.

See our Oceania star buys on page 32

The epitome of understated elegance Distinctive Ships Smaller, but perfectly formed, Oceania's Marina and Riviera at around 65,000 tonnes; Regatta and Nautica at just over 30,000 tonnes are intimate in scale but expansive in facilities and ambience. Chic-casual describes the onboard lifestyle perfectly. From Owner's Suite to the very few inside staterooms (more than 85% of Oceania cabins have a balcony) the amenities are extensive and of top quality. Unique, to Oceania are its CanyonRanch SpaClubs - originally developed in the pristine desert of Arizona, and at the very leading edge of spa, fitness and beauty treatment.

Points of Distinction Elegant mid-sized ships

FREE airfare on many voyages

More overnight visits and extended evening port-stays

Country Club casual ambiance

Mouthwatering + Enlightening Serving arguably the finest, most diverse cuisine at sea, Oceania Cruises presents its dining options completely free of additional charges, and the line is proud of its innovative approach to food (guests can even enjoy cookery courses on board). Grand dining embraces international, French, Italian and steak restaurants, and new concepts such as Red Ginger - featuring the Asian kitchen, Waves - gourmet burgers and simple seafood, are becoming much loved by guests. Entertainment aboard is an eclectic mix of music and casino; guest speakers - and lectures with a lighter but enlightened touch.

Best value in premium cruising

Time to Relax and Discover Oceania ships sail 'port-intensive' itineraries throughout the world - meaning more, smaller and endlessly fascinating ports; longer stays - often overnight and extended evening stays at berth.Truly worldwide in scope, the line's ships ply the Mediterranean - East and West including the Rivieras, the Greek Isles and the Black Sea.They wander the coasts of continental Europe, including Scandinavia, Russia and the British Isles.They voyage to breathtaking Canada and New England; the exotic Caribbean and the legendary Panama Canal.

They explore from South America to Alaska.

Elegant Value + Flexibility All-inclusive, and often with air travel also taken care of, Oceania Cruises brings elegant value to guests - and with extended stay options at a number of ports, and pre and post-cruise options, there is ample flexibility to tailor and hone your itinerary with the expert guidance of the Scotland’s Cruise Centre team.

River CRUISING AT ITS VERY BEST Whether you are a seasoned Ocean cruiser or looking for something a little bit different, there is always something truly memorable about a river cruise that stays with you long after you return home. Sailing into the heart of Cologne, Lyon or Budapest never fails to impress and the majestic views will become a memory you will treasure forever. Witness the changing landscapes along the river banks as towns and villages, vineyards and fields meet at its edges, all from the comfort of your sundeck.

Mostly you will moor in the heart of the cities you are visiting so you can walk ashore and see the sights, giving you the opportunity to enjoy many memorable evenings offshore with the convenience of your floating river boat nearby.

Right TIME, Right PLACE According to NASA scientists, this winter is the best time in over a decade to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Aboard a ship in Northern Norway, home of Hurtigruten since 1893, away from urban light pollution, is the ideal place to hopefully experience the lights.

And to make it even easier for you to get there, we've got DIRECT flights from Scotland.

Lift off, set sail and see the greatest light show on Earth!

Go in search of the Northern Lights this winter in Norway from just £999
