In the summer of 2005, we took a cruise with Oceania Cruises. The ships are smaller and quite upscale and we were looking for something like that. We were thoroughly impressed by Oceania and will make more trips with them. This is our travelogue from that trip.
Travel to Greece took us two days (and two nights) on airplanes because of airline schedule problems. Sleeping on airplanes is no fun and we were extremely bleary eyed by the time we got to Athens. The Acropolis was undergoing renovation and was closed, so we decided just to go to the ship and get some shut eye. We only saw Athens from the harbor.
