SO MUCH TO SEE AND DO ON BOARD AND ASHORE
Athena’s on-board facilities are excellent, including a swimming pool, a choice of bars and<br />
lounges, a library, internet access, a luxury cinema and a shop. <strong>The</strong> restaurant offers you<br />
sumptuous cuisine throughout your cruise, and informal more relaxed dining is offered in<br />
the Lotus Grill. If you feel in need of pampering, why not treat yourself to a massage or sauna<br />
in the beauty salon?<br />
EXPLORE FASCINATING PORTS OF CALL<br />
A great selection of optional shore excursions are available<br />
on every cruise, enabling you to enjoy your holiday to the<br />
fullest. By taking advantage of the shore excursions, you<br />
can leave all the details of planning your route, arranging<br />
transport and finding your way around to the experts, which<br />
means you’re free to simply enjoy your visit.<br />
Excursions can take you ‘off the beaten track’, away<br />
from the more obvious tourist attractions to places that<br />
many people never get a chance to see. Wherever your<br />
excursion takes you, you’ll always be accompanied by an<br />
experienced and knowledgeable guide and often a member<br />
of the on-board team.<br />
Paris<br />
DON'T MISS OUT<br />
Our shore excursions are always incredibly popular,<br />
therefore we will send you a shore excursion booklet before<br />
your cruise sails. This gives you the opportunity to have a<br />
look at the excursions on offer before your holiday.<br />
As many excursions can be booked up very quickly, we<br />
always recommend that you make your selection and<br />
pre-book your tours as soon as possible.<br />

Dining is one of the great pleasures of shipboard life, an integral part of any cruise and<br />
Athena proudly upholds this tradition with fine menus. From breakfast, lunch through to<br />
five-course evening meals combining international menus and the best ingredients, and if<br />
you’re still hungry, there are traditional late evening snacks and afternoon tea to enjoy.<br />

DAY 3 LA CORUNA – SPAIN<br />
<strong>The</strong> artist Picasso chose to live in La Coruna, surrounded by<br />
the natural beauty of Galicia in Spain’s northwest corner and<br />
there are many reminders of the great painter. Perhaps pay<br />
a visit to the magnificent 12th-century cathedral at Santiago<br />
de Compostela.<br />
DAY 4 OPORTO<br />
<br />
important city in northern Portugal. This lovely city is home<br />
to many beautiful buildings, ranging from baroque towers<br />
to gothic churches. Being on the Douro river means a visit<br />
to this city isn’t complete without enjoying a relaxing cruise<br />
down the river. A visit to the wine cellars to sample the locally<br />
produced port is also a must!<br />
DAY 5 CRUISING<br />
DAY 6 FUNCHAL – MADEIRA<br />
<br />
spectacular landscapes, traditional villages and its tropical<br />
flowers. From the pretty capital Funchal our range of shore<br />
excursions will show you the island’s natural beauty.<br />
DAY 7 LA PALMA – CANARIES<br />
We reach the Canary Islands today and call at Santa Cruz,<br />
the main town of the island of La Palma. A maze of cobbled<br />
streets lead away from a seafront lined with elegant<br />
balconied houses. Look out for the Church of San Salvador<br />
with its elegant Mudejar coffered ceiling and the full-scale<br />
replica of Columbus’ flagship, the Santa Maria. <strong>The</strong> national<br />

DAY 8 LANZAROTE – CANARIES<br />
Our cruise brings us to Arrecife, the capital of Lanzarote. It’s<br />
a quiet and beautiful port city with a historic centre full of<br />
shops, museums and attractive buildings. Why not take an<br />
<br />
volcanic rock formations?<br />
DAY 9 CRUISING AT SEA<br />
DAY 10 CASABLANCA<br />
<br />
immortalised by Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart.<br />
Today you will find an eclectic mix of old and new. Fabulous<br />
shore excursions will take you to the medina and souks of<br />
Marrakech or to Rabat, the fascinating capital of Morocco.<br />
DAY 11 CADIZ<br />
We return to mainland Europe and visit one of Spain’s most<br />
historic cities. Take a stroll through the narrow streets to see<br />
the Santo Domingo Church, the old Royal Prison, the ancient<br />
Roman <strong>The</strong>atre and splendid Town Hall. Perhaps join us on<br />
a guided tour of the city, or why not travel further afield to<br />
Jerez, the home of sherry, for a tasting of this famous tipple.<br />
DAY 12 LISBON<br />
Be on deck this morning as Athena approaches Lisbon up the<br />
mighty Tagus estuary. It’s a memorable introduction to the<br />
city, characterised by cobbled streets<br />
in the ancient Alfama district,<br />
broad avenues, and the riverside<br />
quarter of Belem, site of the<br />
Jeronimos Monastery and the<br />
Monument to the Discoveries.<br />
Perhaps join a shore excursion<br />
to visit the bay of Cascais<br />
or the elegant resort<br />
of Estoril.<br />

DAY 2 AMSTERDAM<br />
<strong>The</strong> unique city of Amsterdam is built on a series of canals<br />
criss-crossed at regular intervals by a fine collection of<br />
bridges. It’s a city that’s packed with countless places of<br />
interest in a relatively small area. Everywhere you look<br />
there are bikes, it’s easy to see why it is the most popular<br />
mode of transport! Amsterdam is home to a fine selection<br />
of museums, from the evocative Anne Frank <strong>House</strong> to the<br />
<br />
can even take a cruise along some of the many canals for an<br />
alternative perspective.<br />
DAY 3 ZEEBRUGGE (for Bruges or Ghent)<br />
<strong>The</strong> Belgian port of Zeebrugge is part of Bruges, the Flemish<br />
capital. Join us to discover this charming city with its<br />
beautiful architecture and peaceful canals. <strong>The</strong> delightful old<br />
centre has an abundance of attractions from the traditional<br />
gabled houses and majestic churches to narrow cobbled<br />
streets. Take the time to sample the famous Belgian beer or<br />
try a few of the luxurious chocolates. Alternatively, you could<br />
visit Ghent, one of Belgium’s oldest cities, with its elegant<br />
mediaeval architecture, network of canals and cobbled<br />
streets. Why not take a boat trip through the canals for a<br />
different view of the city?<br />
DAY 4 HONFLEUR (for Monet’s Garden or Paris)<br />
This charming fishing port, a favourite haunt of the great<br />
impressionist painters, dates back to the 14th century. Step<br />
<br />
and alleys of the Old Town and note the striking contrast<br />
Dover<br />

between the splendid two-storey stone houses, and the tall,<br />
slender houses up to seven storeys high. Take the time to<br />
visit the Lieutenancy, the former house of the Governor, and<br />
Saint Catherine Church, a rare example in Western Europe<br />
of a building made entirely of wood. Honfleur is also the<br />
ideal place from where to visit the exciting city of Paris.<br />
With its seductive architecture, superb shopping, delicious<br />
gastronomic delights and vibrant night life, Paris is a city<br />
which really does have it all. This enchanting city is famous<br />
for its romantic ambience and you can soak it all up as you<br />
sit in one of the pavement cafes and people watch, just like<br />
the locals. Make sure you also take in the famous sights of<br />
<br />
the Eiffel Tower. Alternatively,<br />
you could pay a visit to the<br />
beautiful gardens at Giverny.<br />
It is said that the history<br />
of France is written in<br />
her gardens and that is<br />
certainly true of Monet’s<br />
Garden at Giverny.<br />
From 1883 to 1926,<br />
Monet planted and<br />
painted here and the<br />
garden is most famous<br />
for its lily pond, the<br />
inspiration for some of<br />
his best known works<br />
such as his famous<br />
Waterlilies. Don’t miss<br />
the beautiful Japanese<br />
bridge hung with<br />
wisteria and other<br />
delightful features.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Disability Discrimination Act 1995 states:<br />
<br />
discriminate against a disabled person by refusing to provide<br />
any service which it provides to members of the public.”<br />
(It is our interpretation that) this law applies to services provided<br />
<br />
believe in trying to make our holidays as accessible to as many<br />
people as possible. If you tell us before you book of any special<br />
needs or medical conditions you have, we will do all we can<br />
to accommodate you. This includes making any reasonable<br />
adjustments to the holiday itself. If you or any member of your<br />
party’s situation changes after you have booked you must let us<br />
know straight away.<br />
Examples of reasonable adjustments we might make include<br />
(but are not limited to):<br />
<br />
<br />
mobility difficulties<br />
<br />
difficulties where a coach cannot reach a hotel.<br />
Whilst we will endeavour to make any reasonable adjustments<br />
to the holiday<br />
itself, sometimes this may not be possible. Examples where we<br />
might not be able to make a reasonable adjustment include:<br />
<br />
remote locations<br />
<br />
duration of the holiday<br />
It is your responsibility to tell us before you book whether you<br />
have any special needs or medical conditions, that might affect<br />
your ability to take part on our holidays. A reasonable level<br />
of fitness is required for our holidays as some walking can be<br />
involved. If you are in any doubt about the suitability of any<br />
of our holidays please just ask. Where we can we will make<br />
any reasonable adjustments – where we cannot make such<br />
adjustments we may have to refuse your booking.<br />
It is our intention to try and make our holidays as accessible<br />
to as many people as we can, especially those with disabilities.<br />
We cannot do this if you don’t tell us of your needs so please<br />
mention any relevant information to us before you book. We<br />
will assume, unless you tell us otherwise, that all members<br />
of the party are in a good state of health to participate in the<br />
holiday. If you do not tell us about any special needs or medical<br />
conditions, and we find ourselves in the position where you are<br />
<br />
and unable to participate fully, then we reserve the right to:<br />

We very much hope that all our customers will be completely<br />
open, honest and upfront with us so the above situation<br />
does not occur. However, we do reserve the right to take action<br />
in the interests of your health and safety and the health and<br />
safety of our staff and other customers should we need to.<br />

required at each pick-up point for this service to operate. In<br />

daylight. A BED refers to a lower berth while BERTHS mean<br />
upper/lower berth combinations.<br />
