Athens, Greece

The bustling metropolis of Athens, with its treasure trove of antiquities, will impress even the most seasoned traveler. There’s truly no place like it on earth. As the modern city thrives with high-rise apartments, crowded sidewalks, and busy traffic, the timeless beauty of the Acropolis, outstanding museums, charming cafés, and lively sidewalk markets create a captivating cultural mosaic. Summertime brings a vibrant nightlife scene with plenty of gay and gay-friendly options to enjoy.

We sail from the port of Piraeus, just minutes from Athens.

Rhodes, Greece

The largest of the Dodecanese islands, also known as “Island of the Sun God Helios”, is a magnificent explosion of colors and activities that combine historic sights, luxe relaxation, unique nature, and stellar entertainment. Witness the splendor of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the world, before exploring the Venetian-like neighborhoods for a romantic stroll. Soak up some sun at one of the many gay beaches, or pamper yourself with an authentic spa experience at the ever-popular Turkish Baths.

Limassol, Cyprus

Cyprus is Aphrodite's island, where legend says the goddess of love rose from the sea, and there's no better place to fall for the Eastern Mediterranean. Explore the cliff-top ruins of ancient Kourion with its dramatic seaside amphitheater, or wind into the hill villages to taste Commandaria, one of the oldest named wines in the world. Back in town, Limassol's palm-lined promenade, marina, and lively café scene make for the perfect afternoon.

At Sea

Sailing on Scarlet Lady through the Mediterranean with Atlantis is unlike any cruise experience we’ve ever created. Explore her striking design and unique places to play. Take in brunch at 2 different restaurants. Drop in for a zany hour of drag bingo. And let us entertain you in unexpected ways everywhere you turn. And of course, join friends old and new on the dance floor at our spectacular T-dance!

Mykonos, Greece

Blue-domed churches speckle the landscape, and vibrant flowers cascade down whitewashed houses, creating the quintessential Mykonos charm. But let’s be honest, you're here for the sun-soaked beaches and the electric nightlife that have earned Mykonos its reputation as one of the most popular gay destinations worldwide. From afternoon beach parties to late-night clubs, the island is alive with energy. And with our stay extending until 2 am, you’ll have plenty of time to soak in all the excitement and make memories you’ll never forget.

Santorini, Greece

Known as "Thira, the Wild Island" and "Kalliste, the Fairest One," this volcanic Greek island enchants with black sand beaches and towering limestone cliffs. Santorini also boasts remnants of Phoenician, Spartan, and Minoan cultures, captivating visitors throughout history.

Fira, the charming, pedestrian-only capital, is reached by a short cable car ride offering stunning views. Don’t miss the legendary sunset in Oia, where our late stay gives you ample time to soak it all in before returning to Scarlet Lady!

Iraklion (Heraklion), Greece

Iraklion, Crete's bustling capital, offers a captivating blend of ancient history and modern charm. The Archaeological Museum showcases remnants of the 3,000-year-old Minoan civilization, centered around the legendary Palace of Knossos, famous for the myth of the Minotaur. Explore stunning Byzantine churches, walk along the impressive 15th-century Venetian walls, and admire the old fortress. Beyond its rich history, the city pulses with vibrant markets, lively cafes, and waterfront charm, making it an exhilarating destination to explore.

Athens, Greece

Explore Athens, where ancient wonders and modern energy collide. Stroll through the charming streets of Plaka, filled with tavernas and local shops. Discover treasures at the National Archaeological Museum or browse the bustling Monastiraki Flea Market. As night falls, Athens comes alive with rooftop bars and a lively gay and gay-friendly scene, offering unforgettable views of the Acropolis. This city seamlessly blends history with contemporary culture.

Atlantis does not recommend flights before 11am.
Transportation from Scarlet Lady to the airport will be available for purchase from Virgin Voyages about 2 months before departure.

Sea. Sun. History.

Our voyage starts in vibrant Athens, one of Europe’s most dynamic and fascinating places, where ancient history and modern life meet to create one of the world’s most welcoming and friendly cities, with the Parthenon watching over you from the Acropolis. Come a few days early to marvel at the ancient temples and take in buzzing Plaka cafés before we head into the Aegean together.

Sail through serene blue waters to the winding cobblestone lanes and ancient wonders of Rhodes. Explore the island’s tavernas, artisan shops, and centuries of history, or head to the sparkling beaches for a day of pure Mediterranean sun. The legendary Colossus may be long gone, but this island has more than enough wonders to make up for it.

Cyprus is Aphrodite’s island, where legend has it that the goddess of love rose from the sea, and the magic of this unique landscape showcases the Med at its best. Explore the cliff-top ruins and seaside amphitheater of ancient Kourion or wind into the hill villages to taste Commandaria, the oldest named wine in the world. Back in town, Limassol’s palm-lined promenade, marina, and lively café scene make for the perfect afternoon.

Legendary Islands. Modern Playgrounds.

Enjoy a sensational day at sea as we sail towards the legendary island of Mykonos – playground for all, and the most gay-friendly island in the Aegean. Our late stay on this iconic island gives you time to do it all, from inviting beaches to tantalizing bars & restaurants. We’ve been going there for years and promise to create an unforgettable day. And night!

You’ll wake up the next morning to greet the dazzling cliffs of Santorini, where whitewashed villages and blue-domed churches cling to the rim of a volcanic caldera high above impossibly blue water. Ride up to Fira, wander the clifftop path toward Oia, or sample crisp Assyrtiko. We stay until 10 PM, so the world-famous caldera sunset is yours to enjoy without ever watching the clock.

Finally, we’ll arrive on Greece’s largest island, Crete. Step into the world of myth at the Palace of Knossos. Wander Heraklion’s Venetian harbor and fortress, browse its lively markets, and settle into a taverna for authentic Cretan cuisine, or find the perfect Mediterranean beach.
