All excursions are bookable on the ship

Oia Village

Sail to Athinios Harbour and set off on an incredible coach journey that takes you up the cliff face of the caldera and across the island. You’ll pass the cave homes of the island’s original inhabitants, before reaching the beautiful village of Oia. Perched on a clifftop, this place offers up breathtaking views over the caldera. And it’s positively bursting with Greek charm, too, with its traditional whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches. Enjoy some free time to stroll through the winding and cobbled streets packed with jewellery shops, galleries and other Greek treasure troves. At the far end of the village you’ll be treated to the most spectacular views of the island. Sample some of the local wine in a traditional wine shop before returning to Thira town. Here you’ll have more free time to explore, before taking the cable car journey - included in the tour - at your leisure, back to the ship's tenders. Just so you know... Due to a steep climb at the end of the tour where the coach drops you off and the steps and cobbled streets in Thira, this tour may be unsuitable for the less mobile.
£34.00/£20.00 (4hrs)

Volcano & Hot Springs
See two of Santorini's biggest attractions on this great tour. You’ll take a boat ride to the volcanic island of Nea Kameni, where you’ll step out onto the Daphni lava flow, the oldest lava on the island. Climb to the top, over volcanic sand and lava fragments, and take in the sensational views of Santorini and its famous caldera. Following the same route in reverse, you’ll head back to the boat and set sail for the thermal springs of Palea Kameni. The boat will anchor in the deep green sulphur springs and you'll have chance to swim in the mineral-rich waters of the hot springs. On your return boat trip, you’ll be dropped off at the old port of Thira with plenty of time left to explore. Afterwards, return to the ship's tenders at your own leisure. Just so you know... If you want to swim in the hot springs, please be aware that it’s around 100 yards away from the boat and suitable for strong swimmers only, life jackets are not provided. Cable car tickets are not included. Please be aware that there is a long, but well worth it, uphill walk up the volcano.
£29.00/£17.00 (3.5hrs)

Scuba Diving or Snorkelling
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a complete beginner, this is the perfect chance to try scuba diving. First off, you’ll take a boat from ship to shore before your cable-car climb to Thira Town. That’s where you’ll meet the dive centre staff. From here, the certified divers among you will head off with dive leaders to explore the underwater world of lava formations, caves and drop-offs. Beginners, meanwhile, will be taken through the basics on a PADI Discover Scuba programme, before heading below the waves to see the marine life and volcanic rocks. Kicking off with a 3-metre dive, you’ll progress to 12 metres for the second dive of the day to earn your Discover Scuba certificate. If diving isn’t for you, try snorkelling instead. It’s a fun, easy way to enjoy the crystal-clear waters and see some of the same sights as the divers, too. Just so you know...snorkelling is only suitable for experienced swimmers.

Hidden Santorini- Megalohori and Pirgos Village
Santorini charm is in no short supply on this trip. Your first stop is the hilltop village of Megalochori. A higgledy-piggledy mix of blue-domed churches, whitewashed houses and winding alleyways, it showcases some of Santorini’s most attractive architecture. After a little wander along its stone-paved streets, you can quench your thirst at the Boutori Winery. Here you’ll get to swirl, sniff, and sip some of Greece’s best wines as the manager talks you through the different flavours. When you’ve had your fill, we’ll continue onto the highest point on the island, Profitis Ilias, and neighbouring Pyrgos to soak up the views. The, before your buffet lunch of Greek meze, you’ll get some time to explore Pyrgos’ churches and well-preserved castle. Afterwards, we’ll make one last stop at Thira where you can hop aboard a cable car back to the port.
