Cruise Extension 22 - 29 May 2027

Not ready to say goodbye just yet? Why not extend your cruise by a further 7 nights from Athens to Istanbul?

From Athens, the cruise shifts into an immersive exploration of the Greek islands and the Aegean Coast, beginning with Monemvasia - an atmospheric, medieval fortress town - followed by Crete (Agios Nikolaos), offering a blend of Minoan history and seaside charm. The itinerary then continues to the iconic island of Mykonos, known for its whitewashed villages and vibrant coastal setting, before crossing into Turkey with stops at Çeşme and Kuşadası, gateway to the remarkable ancient ruins of Ephesus.

The final leg includes a relaxing day at sea before arriving in Istanbul, providing a fitting conclusion as the ship sails into one of the world’s great historic crossroads between Europe and Asia. Overall, this cruise offers a rich mix of classical Greek heritage, island scenery, and major archaeological highlights, culminating in the cultural depth and scale of Istanbul.

Please note: this extension cruise does not include any PSA educational content, official social functions, organised networking activities or conference-related programming. It is a leisure-only travel extension.
