Discover the Mediterranean, Adriatic, and Aegean on one of Grand Circle Cruise Line’s exclusive small ships. The M/V Athena, Arethusa, and Artemis are four-star plus 50-passenger ships designed and built exclusively for our travelers. Our resident, expert Program Directors will help you form easy bonds with your peers as you share discoveries in groups of no more than 25 travelers. When you choose one of our five Small Ship Cruise Tour itineraries, you’ll explore scenic shores and idyllic islands in-depth—and gain access to smaller ports larger cruise ships simply cannot reach. Plus, you’ll enjoy exclusive Discovery Series Events, like dance lessons, craft demonstrations, and Home-Hosted Visits, which provide an immersive experience—both onboard and off—in the heart of this awe-inspiring region.
