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. 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. This sailing features five Mediterranean islands, as well as the city of Seville, where Braemar’s smaller size allows for docking in the centre via a cruise along the tidally restricted Guadalquivir River. The domes, towers and palaces of Cagliari’s hilltop citadel Il Castello are well worth exploring, as is the ancient walled city of Mdina, reachable from Valletta.
