12 Night Mediterranean Regent Cruise
A Regent Cruise Reverie
Greece beckons with a timeless whisper—crumbling marbles of antiquity, islands kissed by sapphire waves, and sunsets that paint the sky in hues of myth. Last week, I shared a 10-night land itinerary through Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini. Now, let’s dive into a 12-night voyage with Regent Seven Seas Cruises from Athens to Barcelona, departing August 11, 2025. This cruise will take you where the Parthenon’s glow meets Istanbul’s minarets, Amalfi’s cliffs rise in silent splendor, and Monte Carlo’s elegance crowns the horizon. Aboard the Seven Seas Voyager, this Greek fantasy expands into a Mediterranean delight, draped in Regent’s all-inclusive opulence.
Why Regent?
From August 11 to 23, 2025, this 12-night cruise trades ferry wakes for suite serenity, swapping crowded ports for unlimited private excursions. Sip aged vintages as Skiathos’ emerald coves unfold below your verandah. Linger over a five-course feast while the Aegean hums beneath you. With every detail—fine wines, spa sanctuaries, valet-pressed linens—included, Regent transforms travel into an art form, leaving you free to lose yourself in the moment.
