IMPORTANT: We recommend that travelers take a photocopy of their passport and
applicable visas. It should be packed separately from your actual passport and visa.
We also recommend leaving a copy at home with your emergency contact.
Your cruise ship provides a “blanket visa” when visiting Ephesus, Turkey. There is no
need for you to buy a Turkish visa as long as you travel with the group to/from
Ephesus.
Effective for travel in 2024, all visitors who do not need a visa to enter Europe will be
expected to apply for an ETIAS visa waiver, for a fee, when visiting a Schengen Area
Country. To identify Schengen Area Countries and to complete the ETIAS application,
please visit https://www.etiasvisa.com/
Port taxes, service charges and fees of approximately $149 USD (subject to change
without advance notice), quoted at time of booking, per person is not included in the
land-only tour cost. Single cabins, if confirmed, are higher.
Museum visits and shopping may be affected by the observance of religious or local
holidays.

Optional shore excursions are available for purchase directly from the ship upon
embarkation.

basis. Triple accommodations are limited and will be confirmed upon request and
availability from the cruise line.

***In order to enter the monasteries in Meteora, all guests must have their shoulders

knees, however, if you choose to wear pants, you will be given a scarf to tie around

Cruise ships have a limited quantity of cabins available in each cabin category. We
will make every effort to accommodate your cabin category preference at the time of
booking. If the cabin category preferred is not available at the time of booking, the
next closest category available will be offered and a surcharge may apply.

(deck 2 or 3), XB (deck 3 or 4) and XC (deck 5 or 6). Cabin availability is first come
first serve, please inquire at time of booking.
The overall activity level of this tour is a level 3. This means you’re an on-the-go
traveler. You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of
time (2-3 hours) isn’t a big deal. A moderately paced two-and-a-half-hour walking
tour, covering several miles, hills, and uneven surfaces, is no problem for you.
Walking four miles over the course of a day is very doable, as is climbing into and out
of various modes of transportation (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.). In order to access
the Acropolis archeological site, you will be required to climb about 30-40 uneven
steps and walking over rugged terrain with loose stones and without railings.
Accessing the Monasteries in Meteora requires climbing approximately 200 steps.
You can handle altitudes between 6,000 and 9,000 feet. Expect longer days with early
mornings starting from 7:00-7:30am and some late nights balanced with free time to
recharge or set out on your own adventure. This level is not a fit for travelers who
require mobility assistance devices.
If you require any special assistance while on tour, please make us aware at time of
reservation so the necessary request form can be sent to your attention.
Prior to full payment for the program, the cruise line reserves the right to impose a
supplemental fuel charge. Should this occur, you will be notified of the additional
charges.
Due to flight schedules, a pre or post night may be required at an additional cost to
you.
On Mykonos Island, round trip transfers by bus to/from the ship to/from Mykonos
Town are included in the land price of the program.
Please be advised many airlines do not provide advance seat assignments until
check-in at the airport. Advance seating will be subject to the airline's terms and
conditions.
For air-inclusive reservations, the name provided at time of booking must match your
government-issued ID that will be used during travel. Name changes are subject to
penalties.

the same flights and dates.
