Highlighting one of Cruise Traveller’s new triple cruise offerings, ‘A Culinary Passage’, this epic summer journey begins in Athens on July 10, 2026, when guests board Atlas Ocean Voyages’ deluxe, 198-guest expedition ship, World Traveller, for three, back-to-back, culinary-themed cruises, totalling 30 nights, to 25 destinations in Greece, Turkey, Italy, France and Spain, with the expedition ending in Barcelona.
During the indulgent, month-long sojourn, guests can savour artisan yogurt, beer and bread in Mykonos, seafood and pasta on the Italian island of Ponza, and wine tastings in Amalfi and Tuscany. They can also join a truffle hunt in Livorno, explore olive oil mills near Saint-Tropez, and indulge at alluring French chocolate shops in Narbonne. From local markets to ancient cities, this journey is a feast for the senses, with food connoisseurs able to explore the historic and natural wonders of the Mediterranean through the lens of food and wine accompanied by chefs, vintners and culinarians.
Other destinations during the trio of cruises from Athens to Barcelona include two beautiful Greek islands – Skopelos and Skiathos – where the hit ABBA-themed movie, ‘Mamma Mia’ was filmed, as well as Rome and Ibiza in Spain.
The epicurean cruise includes onboard beverages, onboard culinary demonstrations, cuisine and wine tastings, enrichment programs and workshops, a gourmet Josper Grill charcoal grill dining experience in the ship’s 7AFT Grill restaurant and culinary experiences ashore such as local market visits and specialty tastings.
