''Pacifica'' on its way to the Aegean

“Costa” has chosen to send its huge, newly built “Pacifica” to the Aegean Sea during springtime. Carrying more than 3500 passengers in luxury, that ship is one of the highlights of the season.

''Costa Pacifica''

Its itinerary is wisely made offering the most popular destinations with lots of sightseeing. Given that beaches during this period are not yet ready to welcome their visitors it is an excellent move indeed to focus on monuments of the Classical Era.

April is ideal for sightseeing freaks due to its moderate temperatures; no hat is needed, only your sunglasses. Besides, this is the main purpose of shore excursions to Athens, Katakolon and Limassol. Rhodes is also full of antiquities, but its diverse cultural heritage gives you more options. In case you have already been to these places you can always consult our suggested alternative promenades.

''Pacifica’s'' itinerary allows you plenty of time on board to relax in Italian style and to charge your batteries before you get ashore. ''Cruisinggreece'' recommends excursions to Sounion, Lindos and Paphos from Piraeus, Rhodes and Limassol ports respectively.  There is no need to give you a tip regarding Katakolon. Ancient Olympia is the one and only option. We suggest you make an early booking for these tours.
