Lavrion, Greece
Arrive in Athens, the capital city of Greece, and transfer to Lavrio, where you'll embark National Geographic Orion in the afternoon. Settle into your cabin and take in your first Aegean sunset at sea as we pass the Temple of Poseidon. Or explore more on a pre-voyage extension in Athens or Crete.
Day 2 - Sunday - Jul 6, 2025
Despotiko, Greece
Despotiko, Greece
Blue Lagoon, Panteronisi, Greece
Today, you'll get an introduction to the beauty and history of Greece. The day begins with a Zodiac exploration of the many sea caves, bays, and tiny islands that dot the southern end of the island of Antiparos, including a peek at the active archaeological site on the uninhabited island of Despotiko. This afternoon finds you near the three islets of Tigani, Panteronisi, and Glaropounta, where you'll spend the afternoon swimming, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding in the crystal-clear, turquoise waters of the Blue Lagoon.
Day 3 - Monday - Jul 7, 2025
Sifnos, Greece
Sifnos, Greece
Sifnos-a local favorite-is a peaceful, rugged island known for its sandy beaches, plethora of churches, and trendy food scene. With a scenic upper chora (village) that invites exploration, visit quaint little churches that sit precariously on the edge of the sea. This morning, go on a scenic hike and then join a walking tour of the Kastro, with an optional cooking class at a local farm. Our Sifnos visit also offers an optional hands-on pottery experience. Spend the afternoon onboard or enjoying the water at a local beach. Whatever your pace, this is the ideal place to explore on foot, whether it's a brisk walk or a lazy stroll along the beach.
Day 4 - Tuesday - Jul 8, 2025
Mylos, Greece
Mylos, Greece
Spend the morning exploring the sea caves at Kleftiko, and if conditions allow, get in the water. This afternoon, on the charming volcanic island of Milos, view the Ancient Theater and enjoy an island tour, including a visit to the stunning Sarakiniko, a majestic other-worldly beach cove surrounded by large white volcanic stones. In the small town of Trypiti, visit the 1820 excavation site of 'Venus de Milo', one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture, now exhibited in the Louvre. This evening, enjoy dinner onboard or explore Adamantas on your own. Be sure to stop by the famous ice cream shops.
Day 5 - Wednesday - Jul 9, 2025
Nea Kameni, Greece
Santorini, Greece
In the morning, hike to the crater on the uninhabited island of Nea Kameni and swim in the hot springs of Palea Kameni, or choose to visit a local farm for a tour and tasting. After lunch, go ashore to the main island of remarkable Santorini-an island archipelago formed from a single volcanic cone that erupted 3,600 years ago, burying the resident Minoan culture in ash. Plan your day with a visit to the Archaeology Museum, or visit the stunning excavations at Akrotiri, an important Minoan town preserved under volcanic ash much like Pompeii, with remarkably intact houses, streets, pottery, and more. This evening, have dinner ashore taking in the breathtaking sunset.
Day 6 - Thursday - Jul 10, 2025
Naxos, Greece

Alternatively, join a local artisan for a marble carving experience. Over lunch, the ship repositions to Paros where you can spend the afternoon exploring the charming Kastro, visiting a winery or walking the land with a local farmer to hear how they make dry-land farming work. Afterward, taste the fruits of their bounty. The natural beauty, incredible food, and less-touristy vibe of Naxos and Paros provide an authentic Greek experience.
Day 7 - Friday - Jul 11, 2025
