A recap of our Uncharted cruise in Greece last August aboard the Variety Voyager! 🛳️🫶

This cruise was truly special for us as we celebrated our 75th anniversary! 🙌
It was a one-of-a-kind experience, taking us to hidden destinations off the beaten path, with each port of call revealed just 24 hours ahead of time.
Led by our CEO, we reconnected with past guests, met with valued partners, welcomed new travelers, and together we created unforgettable memories both at sea and on shore! 🩵
