About Us – Grand Odyssey Cruises

We have created a cruise experience that fulfills our passion for the history, cultures and natural wonders of the ancient world – an experience which unites the immeasurable benefits of small-ship cruising with enriching, destination-immersive itineraries designed to connect travelers with the fascinating chronicles of the past.

The port-intensive, insightful itineraries that we offer stand at the very core of our philosophy. Each voyage has been carefully planned in conjunction with noted historians, blending famous sites with hidden gems to create an immersive experience that is wholly unique.

Some itineraries focus on a particular historical theme, such as the Crusades or Byzantine history, while others take you across continents for a sweeping look at the region’s past. Our itineraries have been designed with extended stays in port and many overnights on board to ensure that there is ample time for exploration in each destination.

We believe that the experience ashore is just as important as your enjoyment on board. After all, visiting these historic destinations is the very reason for cruising with Grand Odyssey Cruises. Each cruise incorporates included shore excursions in virtually all ports of call, accompanied by expert guides.

During all shore excursions, the guides will share their knowledge with the group using QuietVox technology – these individual headsets enable you to hear your guide clearly, even in the busiest places. We now offer a choice of included sightseeing in 16 ports, giving you the flexibility to explore where you’d like. Itineraries also include pre- and/or post-cruise hotel stays in 4- or 5-star properties.

On board Aegean Odyssey guests enjoy a relaxed, casually elegant country club ambiance. Camaraderie is fostered on board through the friendly, congenial atmosphere harvested between like-minded travelers. Whether it’s over dinner, in conversation about a lecture, or traveling with your shore excursion group, friendships are easily formed.

Passengers also appreciate our dress code, which forgoes the need for very formal evening wear. The ideal size of our ship gives her the ability to visit smaller ports that larger vessel cannot reach

In addition to an unforgettable experience, a Grand Odyssey cruise also offers exceptional value. The rates for each voyage include guided shore excursions, 4- and 5-star hotel stays, a choice of wine with dinner on board (beer or soft drinks if preferred) and onboard gratuities.

Once you’re on board Aegean Odyssey, there is very little to budget for – and thoughtful touches such as bottled water on shore excursions and quality linens really do make the difference.

With 26 dedicated single cabins and low supplements on double occupancy cabins, Voyages to Antiquity is an excellent choice if you are traveling on your own. The full schedule of shore excursions and lectures is sure to keep you engaged, and the shore tour procedure means that you will travel with the same passengers on each excursion, making it very easy to get to know your fellow passengers.

Our open-seating dining policy furthers this camaraderie – you can join new acquaintances for dinner each evening. It’s the perfect environment for making new friends.
