Imagine Cruising is giving us a major dose of wanderlust courtesy of its brand new cruise holiday around the sun-soaked Greek Islands.

We're talking everything from a luxury, all-inclusive stay in beautiful Rhodes, to a chance to discover those picture-perfect Santorini vistas that you've seen all over your social media feeds. The holiday operator has launched a brand new 12-night Rhodes Retreat & Greek Isles cruise, with an itinerary that offers major dream holiday fodder. Oh, and with prices from £1,299pp that works out at approximately £108pp a night so you really can get plenty of bang for your buck.

The holiday kicks off in Rhodes with a five-night all-inclusive stay at the five-star Mitsis Grand Hotel Beach Hotel where you can expect a blissful spa, THREE pools, six restaurants, two bars and other perks such as access to concierge and transfer services.

It's also handily located within walking distance of Rhodes' picturesque Old Town if you did want to do some exploring, with plenty of shops, bars and tavernas along the way. After five glorious nights of basking in the sunshine, even more luxury awaits guests who'll embark on a sailing onboard Princess Cruises’ lavish Regal Princess.

 

The cruise ship has heaps of brilliant amenities for passengers to enjoy including adults-only retreat Sanctuary, restaurants ranging from grills to pizzerias, and plenty of Princess classics such as a giant poolside film screen, or the glass-bottomed SeaWalk® walkway to be found on the top deck.

Intrepid explorers can also get their fill courtesy of the breathtaking ports of call that await. For a start you'll be heading to Santorini (you've no doubt already seen its blue domed churches all over your social media feeds), where you can wander along the cobbled streets or enjoy a waterfront cocktail with plenty of meze platters. From Santorini the ship sails on to the Bay of Kotor, an old port in Montenegro with quirky attractions such as the artificial island Our Lady of the Rocks that's built on sunken ships, or a museum dedicated to cats.

Messina - aka the gateway to Sicily - is next on the itinerary with its beautiful cathedral and delicious food, not to mention you can enjoy some epic views of Mount Etna.

There'll be plenty of time to sample some of that world-famous Italian cuisine too as you'll head on to Naples, home to some of the world's best pizza. (Try not to overdo it on food as you'll definitely want to enjoy the hikes that include views of the awe-inspiring Mount Vesuvius).

The holiday finishes in bustling Barcelona, from which you'll get a flight back to the UK.
