10 Night Cruise sailing from Barcelona to Athens aboard Azamara Quest.

2022 MEDITERRANEAN ISLANDS GOLF CRUISE WITH PERRYGOLF™
We are thrilled to again partner with PerryGolf™, one of the game’s most innovative providers of international golf vacations, for this 10-night, 5-round voyage through the Mediterranean onboard the 700-guest Azamara Quest.

We embark from Barcelona where you might want to visit early to see the astounding Sagrada Familia among the many sights in this spectacular city. After a overnight sail to Palma de Majorca, we arrive early and depart late for a full day including our first game at Son Gual, the most highly regarded club in the Balearic Islands. After a relaxing day at sea we will reach Corsica, the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, again arriving early and leaving late where we’ll play the golf jewel of our voyage at Sperone, a Cabell B. Robinson design described as Europe’s Pebble Beach. Our late departure will allow for a full exploration of Porto-Vecchio including the Old Town’s Place de la République which is lively at night. Next in Sardinia, we’ll play Pevero Golf Club by Robert Trent Jones. We sightsee for the next two days beginning with Trapani in Sicily then Valletta in Malta with yet another late departure so that you can explore one of the world’s most concentrated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Play at I Monasteri Golf Club in Siracusa, Sicily is followed by a day a sea before we reach Crete for our final round at the Crete Golf Club, the only 18-hole course on the island built to USGA specifications. Our final day concludes when we disembark in Athens.

Every aspect of the golf program is fully managed by PerryGolf staff onboard and ashore. Your clubs will be ready and waiting at each venue. Tee times and pairings are arranged and posted in advance. Carts are always included, subject to availability. A box lunch is included at the course along with an open bar after the round.

Highlights of this cruise:

Barcelona
Barcelona is a cosmopolitan masterpiece. With a history rich in art and architecture, medieval, Gothic, and modern influences can be seen all over the city. Start at the waterfront and stroll up the shady, tree-lined Las Ramblas boulevard and discover some of the city's best shopping and bustling cafes.

Olbia
Olbia has been inhabited since the 8th century BC, but a recent archaeological discovery of 24 shipwrecks has landed it in the spotlight. The name Olbia means "happy town", though its past has been difficult, with the city destroyed and rebuilt many times throughout its history. Of course that makes it all the more interesting, as every empire has left something of value behind for you to see.

Valletta
Everywhere you look in Valletta, there’s wonder to behold. Look down in St. John’s Co-Cathedral and discover “The most beautiful floor in the world.” Look up while wandering the streets and see colorful balconies filled with locals going about their day. Look beyond the city’s small size (less than half a square mile) and you’ll find a blend of old and new architecture that’s not to miss.

Heraklion
As the largest city on the isle of Crete, with a history that dates back to the 9th century, Heraklion has seen its share of travelers over the millennia. It’s been ruled by the Arab, Venetian, and Ottoman empires. It’s hosted international athletes during the 2004 Olympics. And now, as a new port of call for Azamara, Heraklion welcomes you with a wealth of timeless experiences.

Athens
Start your journey in Piraeus with an archaeological walk past landmarks like the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Ancient Agora, and of course, the Acropolis. Afterwards, head to the Central Market for a feast of fresh fruit and veggies, nuts, olives, and Grecian cheese. Finally, check out a local taverna where you can rub elbows with the locals well into the wee hours of the night.
