Our cruise ended with a long ferry ride from Tinos back to Piraeus. At departure, we had wondered if the cruise tab, just under $600 a piece, wasn’t a bit extravagant. But a week later, well-tanned, and with a score of new friends, we agreed it was money well spent. The entire voyage was thrilling, and the islands were, and are, beautiful. |

And Vikings prices are excellent. |
