From sun-drenched Cretan shores to the polished elegance of an Oceania cruise, this seamless journey sweeps across Greece, Malta, Sicily and mainland Italy.
Your holiday begins with three complimentary nights at the five-star Grecotel LUXME White Palace on Crete’s north coast, where the days are yours to fill as slowly as you like. Lazy mornings by the pool give way to golden evenings over the Aegean. A night in the Greek capital then sets the scene for the cruise ahead.
In Athens, you’ll embark Oceania Cruises’ Allura for a seven-night cruise across the Eastern Mediterranean. Highlights include the volcanic island of Milos, the honey-stone bastions of Valletta and the lively streets of Palermo, before you disembark in Civitavecchia, gateway to Rome. Every detail is taken care of, so all that’s left is to savour each day at sea and ashore.

Oceania Allura offers an all-veranda collection of suites and staterooms, each finished with residential-style furnishings, marble bathrooms with rainforest showers, and the line’s exclusive Tranquility Bed. Accommodation ranges from intimate French Veranda Staterooms to the ship’s palatial Owner’s Suites.
A seaside home should joyously enfold the ocean and in every French Veranda Stateroom, that promise is fulfilled. Fling open a floor-to-ceiling glass door that opens onto the graceful banister of the French veranda and transform your entire residence into an open-air terrace reminiscent of a chic hillside villa on the Côte d’Azur. These spacious havens feature an enticing queen-size bed, separate sitting area and comfortable furnishings that exude relaxation and sense of the familiar.

Like the ubiquitous little black dress, timeless elegance is a universal staple of Vista’s Veranda Staterooms. Within an expansive 290 square feet, residential warmth is reflected in soothing neutral shades with splashes of sienna. High-tech amenities and ample closet space are de rigueur. The embrace of a lush queen-size bed is complemented by a lavishly appointed bathroom with a large vanity and captivating rainforest shower. A comfortable sitting area is a relaxing prelude to time spent on the private veranda, watching the world glide past.
Penthouses are, by design, reserved for those who appreciate the finer things in life. Appealing and with an abundance of space, the Penthouse Suite experience is both tranquil and familiar. Tony residential furnishings and a calming color palette are reminiscent of a home ashore, yet fine fabrics and rich upholstery soothing to the touch add a dash of exotic elegance. With everyday luxuries such as a walk-in closet and an oversized bathroom featuring dual vanities and a rainforest shower, every bit of the Penthouse Suite’s 440-square feet has been utilized. Lest one forget the location of this warm and inviting enclave, a captivating private veranda overlooks the everchanging seascape.
Perfectly nestled overlooking the golden Beach Pigianos Campos, the all-inclusive Grecotel LUXME White Palace, Crete promises you a memorable stay in Crete.
