3 AWARD-WINNING ENRICHMENT ON BOARD AND ASHORE Fascinating Shore Excursions As your time ashore is an integral part of the cruise experience, our prices include expertly-guided shore excursions in almost every port of call. Just occasionally, on the island of Mykonos for example, we feel that our travellers time is better spent exploring independently.

Furthermore, we provide QuietVox headsets on our shore excursions, enabling you to always hear the guide s commentary. Best Small Ship Shore Excursions and Best for Enrichment Voyages to Antiquity was delighted to be recognised as the leading operator of shore excursions at the 2017 Cruise Critic Cruisers Choice Awards.

12 INTRODUCING AEGEAN ODYSSEY YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME LIGHT, SPACIOUS AND COMFORTABLE CABINS Aegean Odyssey hosts a range of cabins to suit every holiday budget, from superb value inside grades to extravagant owner s suites. All are spacious, light, intelligently designed and equipped with ensuite bathrooms, air-conditioning, flatscreen TV, safe and hairdryer. There is a particular pleasure that comes with cruising aboard a smaller ship. Hosting an average of just 350 passengers, Aegean Odyssey is small enough to sail rivers and put into the more characterful ports inaccessible to the mega-ships, the service is more personal and you get plenty of time to interact with the onboard experts. Cabins are spacious and 39 cabins across a range of categories (including balcony) are set aside for solo travellers at low supplement. Dining for all tastes Serving lunch and dinner, the elegant Marco Polo Restaurant has a casual country club ambiance and a Mediterranean influence to the menu, featuring a full list of fine wines and champagnes in addition to complimentary wine with each evening meal. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, the Terrace Cafe and Grill offers a combination of indoor and outdoor seating, replicating the charm of a trattoria, with a large buffet menu of hot and cold food options alongside a mouth-watering selection of fresh fruit and desserts. On top of our regular mealtime service, you will also find Tapas on the Terrace, afternoon tea and late-night snacks available, ensuring you will never go hungry. Sublime relaxation The Athena Health Spa and Gym features gym equipment, a sauna, and a selection of therapies and treatments.
