History - construction and ownership

The 12,094-ton, 388-passenger premium class ship mv Aegean Odyssey is classically elegant and offers travelers every comfort at sea, relaxed atmosphere and high level of personal service.

Cruise itinerary program

Aegean Odyssey itinerary program is based on Canary Islands and Mediterranean cruises departing from Rome, Venice, Athens, Istanbul, as well as Asia cruises sailing out of Singapore. Aegean Odyssey is perfectly suited for cruising to the smallest Mediterranean inlets that larger cruise ships can’t reach. She also navigates the great Asian rivers, including Saigon and Yangon, as well as Guadalquivir River in Spain.
