The special offer cruises also offer low single supplements of just 10 per cent on top of the regular cruise price, and these are expected to be snapped up quickly.
The cultural and historical cruise specialist includes free
excursions with expert guides on all its cruises, as well as complimentary wine
or beer at dinner and no compulsory gratuities.
The selected summer-sale cruises take in ports across Italy,
Greece, Turkey, Croatia and Montenegro in the company’s sole cruise ship –
378-passenger Aegean Odyssey.
This classic ship-shaped vessel was launched in 1973 as a
car ferry, but underwent a massive refit in 2009 when cruise line entrepreneur
Gerry Herrod bought it to launch Voyages to Antiquity.
The company offers similar tours to those of British
favourite Swan Hellenic, but the passengers usually include more Americans,
Australians, New Zealanders and other English-speaking internationals.
Although Aegean Odyssey has beautiful lines and is small
enough to get into unusual ports, at times it does suffer problems associated
with old ships.
It is very comfortable with stylish soft furnishings, but
not as luxurious as some newer ships and evening entertainment is limited –
although many passengers see this as a good thing.
