Board the Silver Ray and set sail.

Check in to your spacious sea-view suite and meet your private butler. As you sail towards Mykonos, relax at the luxury spa, enjoy a drink in the observation lounge or sunbathe on the panoramic pool deck.

Your first port of call will be Mykonos.

Explore the charming streets of Mykonos Town, adorned with white facades and cobalt blue shutters, discovering local artisan studios and cosy tavernas. Venture to Little Venice for a front-row seat to the island’s famed sunsets while sipping on a refreshing ouzo and taking in the view.

Uncover the wonders of Ephesus in Kusadasi.

Delve deep into this UNESCO World Heritage Site, encountering magnificent ancient landmarks such as the Temple of Artemis and the Library of Celsus. Take in the towering columns and storied remains of this remarkable city on a selection of guided tours.

Experience the vibrant coastal charm of Bodrum.

From the ancient Mausoleum of Mausolus to the impressive Castle of St. Peter, there are plenty of opportunities to explore Bodrum’s fascinating history. Be sure to visit the bazaar near the castle, where you can uncover a variety of treasures, from spices and textiles to local pottery.

Embrace the fusion of Turkish and Greek cultures on the Island of Rhodes.

Wander through the UNESCO-listed Old Town’s cobbled streets and Ottoman-era mosques. Admire ancient landmarks like the Acropolis of Lindos and the medieval Palace of the Grand Masters of the Knights of Rhodes.

Discover the breathtaking beauty and rich history of Santorini, the crown jewel of the Cycladic islands.

Famous for its azure-domed buildings and cascading streets, stroll through the village of Pyrgos, with its traditional houses and Venetian castle ruins, before indulging in a wine-tasting experience at a local winery.
