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 />

FANTASTIC ENTERTAINMENT<br />

<strong>The</strong> shows on board are excellent, performed by a<br />

FROM A LIGHT LUNCH TO A SPECIAL DINNER


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 2 CRUISING AT SEA<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 />

Enjoy a warm welcome on board before our 6.30pm sailing.<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 />

Honfleur<br />

FRANCE<br />

HOLLAND<br />

BELGIUM<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 />

& Moy offers comprehensive cover and you will find details in<br />

this brochure. When arranging your insurance cover, you must<br />

give the insurers full details of any current, on-going or past (as<br />

required by the policy wording) medical condition or problem<br />

you or any member of your party or other person as detailed<br />

in the policy (such as a close relative or business partner) has or<br />

has had (for example diabetes, heart problems or high blood<br />

pressure). If you fail to do so, your insurers may refuse to cover<br />

you at all even if you need to claim for some other reason.<br />

Customers with special needs<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 />

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

you your travel documents. Please be aware that pick-up points<br />

facilities, excursions and entertainments may be altered or<br />

withdrawn due to lack of demand, weather conditions essential<br />

maintenance work or other circumstances beyond our control.<br />

Ship’s cabins are really hotel rooms in miniature, providing<br />

more or less the same facilities with one main difference<br />

– space! Ships have space limitations so therefore tend to utilise<br />

every inch efficiently.<br />

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

upper/lower berth combinations.<br />
