Greece: August 2025!
Details!
Let's talk Greece!
​
Going across the pond can be terrifying for some. I want to make it easy, fun and make some friends along the way! You CAN do your own thing whenever you'd like. This is nothing forced :) My room is booked - I'm going no matter what!
Pricing will be ROUGHLY $4,000 a person, but closer to $5,000 for all in - all the things! [Based on double occupancy - bring a friend, family member!]
The details:
-
Flights: We will book flights in December/January. I would prefer you fly on Delta, from JFK or ATL to Athens. You MAY do what you wish - but I will be guiding those that want to fly with me. I would budget $1,200 a person for air on the HIGH end. We should get it lower :). This cost is variable. We will discuss air in detail in Dec/Jan.
-
Stay: This will be a mix of land tour (not required) and cruising.
-
The cruise will be The Greek Island Glow on Virgin Voyages.
-
Cruise pricing is subject to change. Currently, it is US$4912 per stateroom - $2456 per person! [As of November 2024]
-
This is all inclusive of meals, taxes and port expenses. Alcoholic beverages additional (can use the onboard credit for this!)
-
Cancel for a future cruise credit. I cannot guarantee any refunds!
-
Final Payment for the Cruise is due in April 2025. 120 days prior to sailing.
-
-
Pre & Post Cruise + Transfers: I am negotiating rates with local hotels in Athens! I would budget $300 per room, per night.
-
For example, if you choose to leave July 31st, we will arrive August 1st. That would be 2 nights totalling $600 roughly per room. For double occupancy, $300 per person.
-
Hotel balances to be due in Dec/Jan.
-
Transfers to be determined based on air schedules. I will coordinate!
-
-
-
All Extras: Activities will be a la carte - and we can add what you wish! We will coordinate the extras in early Spring - plenty of time to decide what you would like to do.
-
I will be coordinating a day tour of Athens on August 2nd. Roughly $100 US per person.
-
I will be coordinating an Athens bar crawl on August 2nd evening. Roughly $100 US per person.
-
I will be coordinating a day tour in Santorini as well as photoshoot! I am a sucker for photos on vacation. Cost TBD.
-
You can do your own thing as well - and the cruiseline offers tours as well!
-
Travel Insurance is additional - roughly $300.
-
Cost Breakdown:
-
Air: $1,200 [due ASAP]

Cruise: $2,500 [20% deposit due ASAP, balance due April 2025]
