Greek Islands Private Yacht Luxury Cruise! - June 2026
Location not specified yetGREEK ISLANDS PRIVATE YACHT LUXURY CRUISE!
• Dates: June 5 - 12, 2026 (8 days / 7 nights)
• Cost: from $6600 per person (excluding flights)
• Single supplement: Some rooms have, some do not
• Trip details: https://globe-drifters.com/trip/greece-cruise-june-2026/If you have any questions, please email info@globe-drifters.com.
Set sail on a private yacht for an exclusive adventure through the Greek islands…
Hidden Greek gems, fewer crowds: Our private yacht takes you to a handpicked selection of Greece’s most enchanting and lesser-known islands which large cruise ships can’t reach, offering a peaceful, crowd-free experience.
Timeless beauty, ancient treasures: Discover Folegandros, an island with roots dating back over 5,000 years, and explore Monemvasia, a medieval “rock town” where time stands still amid its ancient fortress.
Tailored luxury at sea: With just 24 rooms and 21 crew members, your experience is truly personalized. Enjoy daily yoga, meditation, and pilates sessions and unwind with spa treatments from a Balinese therapist. Plus, your cruise concierge will assist with optional excursions and dinner reservations, ensuring a seamless and stress-free vacation.
Since we’re on a small, private boat, we have a customized, hand-picked itinerary and we can sail to the more far-flung, less touristy islands; many of which are pedestrian-only (car-free!!) such as Folegandros.
This is a private, luxury cruise so that means…
• We’ll sail on a luxurious yacht with just 24 rooms and 21 crew members for a truly personalized experience.
• Our yacht is smaller so we can go to more far-flung islands that the big cruise ships don’t go to.
• There will be yoga, daily meditation, and pilates sessions with the wellness coach onboard.
• Spa treatments from a Balinese therapist on the yacht are also available!
• A concierge will be onboard to recommend what to eat, see, and do so you can just relax and enjoy your vacation!1 attendee

If you have any questions, please email info@globe-drifters.com.
Experience small-town Italy like a local on a slowcation… Tuscany conjures up dreams of life at a slower pace where you can soak in the Italian countryside’s culture, food, and picturesque vistas. Stroll through narrow passageways of medieval villages perched on hilltops. Pick out cheese & wine at the market in town and chat with the locals. Tuscany is the dream vacation and now is your chance to go!
Live like a local: Skip the hoards of tourists in Italy’s more popular towns and cities and live the good life in a true Italian village with barely any tourists. If you want to experience the real Italy, this is your chance!
Ideal location: This villa was converted into a hotel in the early 1900s and is situated right in town making it easy to explore. A cafe, grocery store, and many restaurants are just a few steps away from your accommodation.
Discover Italy: Many of Tuscany & Umbria’s most famous towns are only 30 – 45 minutes away from the hotel so you can explore all the best locations in the region without going far.
