How To Do the Greek Islands on a Private Yacht

WOW! Travel Small Group Travel

 

There is a ship you’ve probably never heard of. She’s called Tere Moana. Only 88 passengers and a crew of 67.

   Sleek.
          Sexy.
               Spectacular!

 

You know … the kind of yacht you’d admire in San Tropez – or berthed along the Grand Canal in Venice – or at anchor in the harbor in Dubrovnik.

Admit it: you’d look at a vessel like that with envy – and curiosity . . .

“I wonder who gets to sail on THAT gorgeous yacht?”

Now – imagine walking up the gangway of that vessel. Glance back at those looky-loos.

Go ahead – flaunt it!

That privileged person can be YOU!

We’re inviting our family, friends and WOW! Travel Club alumni to join me (Marilyn Murphy) and my legendary second-in-command, Gabriel Haigazian, on this extraordinary private journey.

WOW! Travel Small Group Travel

Your fearless tour leaders: Marilyn Murphy & Gabriel Haigazian – will make everything extra-special!

We’ve used the ship twice for one of our corporate clients. The experience – because we customize it and make it uber-special – is nothing short of amazing. We felt that we just HAD to make such a journey possible for our friends!

This is a FIRST in the history of the WOW! Travel Club!

About the Ship: Now in her second successful year under the Paul Gauguin Cruises banner, the deluxe m/v Tere Moana specializes in warm-weather destinations, with unique itineraries that larger ships cannot offer. She was recently named “Best New Small Ship” and “Best Way to See the Greek Isles” in Cruisereport.com’s Editors’ Choice Awards.

About the Itinerary: This is a customized itinerary beginning and ending in Istanbul – to include the best of the Greek Isles. We’ve worked out the exact ports of call with the help of Captain Rajko.  Naturally, we’re mostly going to the most wondrous places – where the big ships cannot go.

Limnos – With one of the prettiest harbors in Greece, beautiful beaches and picturesque villages untouched by modern-day tourism … a perfect first stop.

Santorini – the iconic, spectacular, breathtaking island beauty that will take your breath away – especially at sunset when the reflection on the buildings and the glow of the orange and red cliffs is a spectacle unlike any other …. and we don’t leave till 10 PM!

Tilos, which we visit in the morning of June 9th, is the place that Captain Rajko calls his “Dream Island.”  In the afternoon, we go to Symi, named one of the Five Best Greek Islands by Conde Nast Traveller, with perfectly picturesque neoclassic buildings overlooking the harbor.

Patmos, where St John wrote the Book of Revelation in 95 A.D., in the Holy Cave of the Apocalypse.

Kusadasi (for Ephesus) …  All I can say is prepare to be surprised! Nobody does this place like WOW! is gonna do it!

Istanbul, where we arrive at Noon – and have the afternoon and an overnight here, the only city in Europe to span two continents.

Gorgeous ports of call in Turkey and Greece

About the Inclusions: Onboard ship, your package includes all (fantastic) meals, all wines and alcohol and all crew gratuities. Plus, you get two customized shore excursions AND legendary WOW! surprises and delights. Just add your airfare, port taxes and transfers – and you’re just about covered!

About the Passengers: Nobody wants to travel with turkeys (least of all, us!) … so none of those people have been invited! Everyone will have agreed to the WOW! Vows, such as Vow #2: “I vow to be a gracious guest – thoughtful of the people and places I visit and considerate of the people with whom I travel.” 

About the Experience: There is simply no better way to spend one unforgettable, idyllic summer week than aboard this luxurious and intimate ship. Your hosts – Marilyn Murphy and Gabriel Haigazian – will show you the legendary creativity, attention to detail and WOW! surprises that have made The CTP Group so successful for the past 37 years.

We can’t wait to “wow” you!
