Braemar
The cruise at a glance
The Olsen Way Highlights
Our smallest ship, Braemar, is the largest ship to have transited the ultra-narrow Corinth Canal. You can experience a repeat of her record-breaking feat on this itinerary as she transits the canal twice. Braemar’s smaller size also comes to the fore as you dock within one mile of the centre in most of your ports of call, making your exploration ashore even easier. The Greek mainland and its beautiful islands are steeped in antiquity. Throughout your journey, you will have chances to discover ancient sites such as Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games; Athens’ Acropolis with its famous temple ruins, the Parthenon; the clifftop citadel of Lindos Acropolis; and the Minoan Palace of Knossos.
