Cruise-Report: Regent Seven Seas Explorer (4/6)
Day 4 - ancient art and Asian cuisine: Nafplion is not just a pretty little town and a popular weekend destination for city-weary Athenians.
The town is also a popular port of departure for cruisers on an excursion into Greece's past. Corinth is on the agenda for us today - and after a bus ride of just under an hour, it surprises us with its impressive canal. As our Regent Seven Seas Explorer, at 224 meters long and 31 meters wide, would be far too big for the passage, we pass the architectural masterpiece on an excursion steamer. It's just a shame that our captain is either not a fan of silently marveling at passengers or has set out to make the steep canal walls collapse with Vicky Leandros in an endless loop ... Next destination: Corinth's impressive archaeological sites, which still give an idea of how infinitely rich and incredibly modern this city once was. The perfectly organized bus tour with a local guide takes just under four hours. What would have cost an estimated 100 euros per person on other cruise ships is offered completely free of charge on Regent Seven Seas Cruises! The majority of shore excursions are already included in the cruise price! What's the best way to get rid of the money you've saved? By booking one of the top suites on board - there are even limousines with drivers available for guests in every port for tailor-made tours.
For the evening, we managed to get one of the coveted tables in the on-board restaurant "Pacific Rim". Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese - the high-end Asian restaurant impresses with fantastic crossover cuisine and perfect service. Add to this the equally competent and creative wine selection of our Philippine sommelier: from Gewürztraminer as a starter to sake to finish - there is no better way to accompany Asian food!
