MS Albatros — 7-Night Greek Isles

Loading this sailing…

Before you sail

What the fare covers, what it doesn't, and how this itinerary actually runs.

Save the balcony money

7 port days and no sea day — you are ashore in daylight and asleep the rest. An interior cabin costs about $900 less per person, which is most of a shore excursion budget.

7 port days back to back

Early tenders and late returns, several days running, with no sea day to recover in. Pick the two ports you actually care about and let one of the others be a lie-in — the itinerary is not a checklist.

Day one and the last day are half-days

A 7-night cruise is really 6 full days. Boarding runs into the afternoon and you are off the ship early on the last morning.

The drinks package

A premium drinks package typically costs around $70-100 USD per person, per day, including service charges. Confirm current pricing with the line when you book.

Break-even: It usually takes about 5-7 alcoholic drinks daily, combined with sodas or specialty coffees, for the package to match individual drink costs.

This package generally suits those who plan to consume several alcoholic drinks daily. Guests who drink alcohol sparingly or prefer basic beverages may find it less economical.

Gratuities: The line typically applies a daily automatic service charge, usually about $16-20 USD per person, per day. This amount may differ for suite guests. It can often be prepaid or adjusted at the guest services desk before disembarkation; confirm with the line when you book.
Wifi: Basic Wi-Fi access usually costs around $15-25 USD a day. This tier typically allows for messaging and email checking but may not support streaming video or large downloads.

Costs that surprise people

Specialty Dining. Restaurants beyond the main dining venues usually carry an additional per-person cover charge or a la carte pricing.
Shore Excursions. Guided tours and activities in port, if booked through the ship, incur separate charges.
Spa and Salon Services. Treatments like massages, facials, and hair styling are extra and subject to an additional service charge.
Casino and Arcade. Gambling in the casino and games in the arcade require payment beyond the fare.
Premium Coffee and Bottled Water. Specialty coffees, fresh-squeezed juices outside breakfast, and bottled water are typically an additional charge.
Laundry Services. Professional laundry and dry-cleaning services in your cabin usually come with a per-item charge.

Ways to spend less

Book Packages in Advance. Drinks packages, Wi-Fi, and some specialty dining often have a lower price when purchased pre-cruise rather than onboard.
Bring Permitted Beverages. Check the line's policy for bringing aboard wine or non-alcoholic drinks, as this can reduce onboard spending.

AI-written guidance, not a quote. Prices and policies change and vary by sailing — confirm anything that matters with the cruise line before you book.
