As the owner of Great Escapes, I curate personalized vacations that become lifelong treasures. In October 2024, I lived one of the most exceptional travel experiences of my entire career: an 11 day intimate yacht journey through the Mediterranean that felt like having the sea’s greatest treasures all to myself. From the dramatic transit of the Corinth Canal to two perfect days and an overnight docked in the heart of Sorrento, every moment was pure, unhurried joy. I returned home convinced this is the finest way to discover Greece and Italy, and now I’ve secured an exclusive collection of suites for my clients on the identical sailing in October 2026.
What made it unforgettable wasn’t just the destinations (though Mykonos, Paros, ancient Delphi, Syracuse, Valletta, Trapani, and that glorious Amalfi Coast finale are breathtaking). It was the intimacy: only 100 guests sharing vast, elegantly designed spaces and a crew whose warmth and attention made each day feel personal and effortless. The vessel moves so smoothly you never feel the sea, scenic sailing days are spent on plush deck lounge chairs, on your private balcony or by the infinity pool, and evenings in port stretch long enough for sunset views in a cliffside village or a moonlit stroll through a Baroque piazza.
This is the rare journey that avoids every downside of traditional cruising—no crowds, no rushing back to the ship. We docked steps from historic centers, explored with outstanding local guides (included), then returned to fresh, creative cuisine and unlimited wines and cocktails—all part of the fare.
Many travelers assume private-yacht-style travel is out of reach. The reality is far more inviting: the per-day investment is comparable to the finest European river journeys, yet delivers exponentially more space, fewer fellow guests, and a level of all-inclusive luxury that eliminates every extra cost.
For my October 17–27, 2026 Athens-to-Rome departure, I have secured outstanding group pricing on the very last available suites:
- Balcony Suites (285–306 sq ft with private step-out balconies) from $9,670 per person
- One spectacular Owner’s Suite (1,192 sq ft with separate living area and expansive private veranda) perfect for a milestone celebration.
On board included: all dining and unlimited drinks, Wi-Fi, gratuities, port charges, airport transfers, several curated excursions with expert local guides, Gocycle e bikes, water toys from the marina platform, and more.
I’ve also arranged optional pre-cruise nights in Athens (private Acropolis & museum touring) and post-cruise nights in Rome (Vatican, Colosseum, and hidden gems) so you can savor the full journey without ever feeling rushed.
A comparable land-based itinerary—private drivers, 5-star coastal hotels, guides, and meals—would cost considerably more and demand far more effort. Here, you simply awaken each morning in a new masterpiece destination, perfectly cared for.
These final balcony suites and the single Owner’s Suite are the only ones remaining at my exclusive group amenities and pricing. Once they’re reserved, the opportunity closes.
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to experience the Mediterranean at its most authentic and effortless, this is it.
I invite you to reach out today, let me share the complete details and reserve your suite before the holiday rush begins.
