        Piraeus (tours to Athens)

        Piraeus is a stunning port city in the Athens urban area and an important entry point to the ancient city of Athens for Mediterranean cruises in the Aegean Sea. Although, that doesn’t mean Piraeus has nothing to offer visitors – the truth is far from it, in fact. With a recorded history dating back to the city’s foundation in the 5th century BC, Piraeus is home to stunning historic sites, impressive architecture, and a rich history of its own – originally established as a prototype port for Athens. It’s now Greece’s largest port and a bustling metropolis; while tours to Athens are always worth considering, you’ll enjoy the time you spend in Piraeus.

The Sun Princess is a very big ship but it has so many excellent venues for entertainment and dining, so many that I didn’t get to visit some. The vibe on board was great, both from the excellent friendly and efficient staff and between the guests on board who were from many countries far and wide and generally the ship does not feel overcrowded, except in the buffets which is common on any cruise ship. My cabin, a Cove Balcony on Deck, was excellent, kept spotlessly clean by my wonderful Room Stewardess, Mary. I have only one negative comment and that is the layout of the ship can be challenging in that, for example, to get to the lovely Wake Pool and bar on Deck 8, you have to go to Deck 9 and walk through the three buffet venues (International Cafe, The Eatery and the American Diner) before finding the glass lift to descend to Deck 8 aft, which can be a little frustrating when heaving with hungry passengers. To summarise, I had a fabulous cruise and would highly recommend the Sun Princess.

We had a fantastic cruise on Sun Princess and couldn’t fault the experience from start to finish. Sailing back to back from Fort Lauderdale, the itinerary was wonderful and offered a perfect mix of relaxation, culture, and stunning scenery. Our ports of call included Costa Maya, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman, each with its own unique charm—beautiful beaches, clear turquoise water, and plenty to explore. After returning briefly to Fort Lauderdale, the cruise continued to Princess Cays, which was an absolute highlight: pristine beaches, crystal-clear sea, and that effortless private-island luxury. We then visited San Juan and St. Thomas, both vibrant, colourful, and rich in history, with excellent shopping. The Sun Princess itself is an amazing ship—modern, elegant, and immaculately maintained. The public spaces are stunning, the cabins comfortable. We did the Princess Premier package which suited us really well, enabling us to sample the speciality dining in all but one of the speciality restaurants onboard. Dining options were excellent with great variety and consistently high quality, and the service from the crew was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Entertainment, amenities, and onboard activities were all top-notch, making sea days just as enjoyable as port days. Overall, this was a brilliant cruise and an unforgettable trip. A wonderful itinerary paired with a beautiful ship and exceptional service—highly recommended, and we wouldn’t hesitate to sail on Sun Princess again. 🚢✨
