Everyone can come cruise! 🛳️
Accessibility is sexy: Spartacus welcomes travelers regardless of their physical abilities. Guests with various accessibility needs always have their needs met on board.
Dates, friends, love
Like ROMEO, Spartacus is a safe space where people can create long-lasting friendships, have fun, or even fall in love. With a fantastic Mediterranean itinerary and an exciting program of onboard entertainment, you will have plenty of opportunities to create memories and relationships that can last forever—this is a big part of what Spartacus is about, and we’re here for it.
Let me entertain you
Spartacus features a lineup of entertainers and performers from different communities, coming from Christian, Muslim, and Jewish backgrounds. These talented artists enrich the Spartacus experience and take it to a whole new level.
The main hosts, Miss Abby OMG and Nelson will lead the pack when it comes to the entertainment.
The list of onboard artists also includes international singer Miss Sistrata, musician Stefano May, and a lineup of incredible DJs: DJ Chris Bekker, DJ Poppy Downes, DJ James, and DJ Juan Del Chambo.
Where the magic happens
Home to the Spartacus experience is the the Vasco da Gama ship; it has everything you might need and it’s environmentally friendly. 🌱
Here’s what you can expect on board:
Two Pools: Take a dip! One of the two pools on board has a closable glass roof, making sure you can enjoy it in any weather.
Stylish Cabins: You can choose from a variety of cozy, cute, and comfortable cabins. This includes inside cabins, outside cabins, balcony cabins, and suites.
Dining Experiences: There are three à-la-carte restaurants available, as well as a buffet bistro, a gourmet restaurant, and a snack & burger place on board.
Gym: Keep putting in the work! You can stay fit using the spacious onboard gym. It’s fully equipped with weights and machines for muscle-building or cardio workouts and has space for stretching, aerobics, or spinning classes.
Spa: Treat yourself! At the spa, you’ll find saunas, treatment rooms, a relaxation area, and a whirlpool.
Where and when?
So, what does the Spartacus trip look like? We’ve got you covered with a summary of the itinerary right here:
October 9: Depart from Athens.
October 10: Arrive at Mykonos, which is known for its beautiful beaches and nightlife scene.
October 11: A full day at sea. You can enjoy fun pool games and onboard entertainment.
