The Cyclades take their name from the circle, or kyklos, the islands form around sacred Delos. This week-long cruise shows them at their best, mixing famous names with quieter islands and swims in turquoise bays.
The route
You sail from Marina Zea with a short visit to Poros, then wake at uninhabited Poliegos for a swim and a barbecue on deck. Folegandros, with its clifftop upper town, follows. On Santorini, an optional excursion visits Akrotiri and Oia, famous for its view over the caldera.
Day four brings a swim off Antiparos and Greek Night in Paros. An optional tour of Delos leads into an evening in Mykonos, and Syros offers Cycladic cooking at a family taverna. The last day includes a swim in Kolones Bay on Kythnos and a sail past Cape Sounion before the Captain's Farewell Dinner.
The ships
Sailings run on M/S Galileo, a 48-metre motor sailer renovated in 2025, with one date on M/S Panorama. Both carry up to 49 guests in 24 outside cabins, on half board.
