Godmother Celebration Cruise on Windstar Cruises
Myths & Marvels of the Aegean
Join Gloria Bohan, Godmother of Star Legend, as you savor the enticing islands and historic wonders of Greece and Turkey on this roundtrip voyage from Athens. Watch the Aegean sun shift shadows on the white columns of the Parthenon, let your imagination soar at the Palace of Knossos with its legendary Minotaur and labyrinth, and experience a once-in-a-lifetime event as you dine under the stars at the ruins of Ephesus during Windstar’s exclusive and complimentary Destination Discovery event.
Your overnight in Rhodes offers even more, giving you time to drive through quaint villages and lemon groves to the ancient Acropolis of Lindos, and wander the pedestrian-only Venetian Old Town with its Palace of the Grand Master, one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe. In between, relish postcard-like scenes of white windmills and sugar cube houses against the blue Aegean, and sample delicious mezethes, Greek music, and ouzo. We will be announcing special events to celebrate Gloria Bohan being onboard as the sailing date gets closer.
