Owned, operated, and staffed by Overseas Adventure Travel, these 50-passenger ships were designed specifically for two groups of 25 travelers.
Pictured: M/V Athena
Our Mediterranean small ships are equipped with six electronic bicycles (e-bikes) and two manual bicycles, which you can use for independent exploration. Bicycles can be obtained through the front desk, and your Trip Experience Leader would be happy to recommend popular routes and places of interest.
The Arethusa and Athena feature four passenger decks with a variety of public spaces, including outdoor seating areas, a bar & lounge, and an open-seating dining room. Cabins are located on three of the levels. While all 26 cabins feature outside views (either a balcony or porthole), each of the available categories offers its own advantages.
Take in coastal views from your seat on the Sun Deck, which is complete with classic wooden chairs in an open-seating arrangement for admiring the vast ocean and surrounding seaside towns. Feel the sea breeze as you relax with your fellow travelers, a book or a drink in hand. Weather permitting, you may also enjoy a meal and a cocktail at the outdoor bar & grill.
Experience your small ship sailing in and out of intimate ports from your private balcony on the Upper Deck. Plus, your cabin is located with easy access to the Sun Deck, so you can make your way topside for panoramic views.
