Scattered through the Aegean Sea, the Greek islands are made for cruising. An itinerary that visits several gives you all the benefits of island hopping without the constant packing, waiting around for ferries and time spent travelling. Instead, cruises usually sail at night, leaving days free to potter around the sugar-cube villages of the Cyclades, wander the archaeological sites of Crete or snooze on the beach in Rhodes. It’s important to choose your cruise line wisely to make time at sea just as much a part of your holiday, whether you’re hoping for gourmet dining and champagne on tap, or waterslides and West End shows to entertain the whole family. Here are some of the best Greek island cruises to choose.
