2022 Bucket List Cruise: Athens to Dubai!

It would so nice if there were a crystal ball that would tell us when we could safely & freely travel again! What I know for sure is that placing a deposit on a dream trip is safe (and refundable) and that planning travel has a positive impact on your mental health.


Did you even know that you can cruise from Athens to Dubai? Not only does this cruise check off so many bucket list destinations (Athens, The Holy Land, Suez Canal, Dubai, etc!), but it exemplifies one of the best things about cruising: you only unpack once. All accommodations, meals, and transportation are included. This would be considered a "port-intensive" cruise (many stops), and there are plenty of sea days as well--days when you get to relax and bask in gratitude for the ability to travel!

Fly to Athens, Greece and set sail onboard the fabulous Norwegian Jade on a 19-day itinerary of a lifetime that traverses the Suez Canal and ends in Dubai!

  • Athens (Piraeus), Greece
