I am so excited to see Emerald Waterways enter the yacht cruising market with the launch of its first custom-built 100 guest ocean-going super yacht - Emerald Azzurra. 88 per cent of cabins include a balcony and the yacht features an onboard wellness centre (including spa, gym & sauna), a marina platform to allow easy access to snorkelling, paddleboarding or swimming at one of the many swim stops. I have no doubt that this new yacht will be extremely popular for both its unique access to fascinating harbours that bigger ships cannot access and the stunning facilities on board.

The capital of the Aegean island of Syros, Ermoupolis is a stunning town. Architectural splendour is a striking reminder of a brilliant past, as a neo-classical influence combines with that of Ancient Greece and Western Europe.

Turkey’s economic, cultural and historic centre, Istanbul straddles Europe and Asia, something evident from the wonderful east-meets-west vibe. Meet open-minded locals as you immerse yourself I their light-hearted spirit, learn about its cultural heritage from architectural masterpieces and enjoy strong culinary diversity.

In the Marmara region of northwestern Turkey, the Çanakkale Province is a destination of all-round intrigue. From the historic battlefields of Troy and Gallipoli, to the serenity of beautiful beaches, unique local food and wineries.
Day 7: Kusadasi
This beach resort town on Turkey’s west coast dates back to 3000 BC and is now a busy cruise port, with a renowned nightlife. Home to a small, Byzantine castle, the Grand Bazaar selling the wares of numerous merchants and much in the way of monuments to the past.

Rising from the destruction of a 16th century volcanic eruption, Santorini is now highly renowned for its beauty, carved by its after effects. Iconic whitewashed buildings grip to the beautiful rugged cliffs overlooking where the Aegean Sea meets with white sandy beaches.

Named after Apollo’s grandson, this cosmopolitan Greek island in the heart of the Cyclades is built on myth and legend. Clear blue skies, renowned beaches and white-wash windmills make it the perfect port stop.
