"My trip to Italy was great. All the accommodations, food, tours were very good. There were 17 people in our group which was a good size and everyone got along great with each other. Collette is a top notch tour company. Our bus driver, our tour manager, the tour guides were all super. Thank you for this opportunity to tour Italy."

Mediterranean Cruise to Greece and Italy
July 13, 2025 - July 20, 2025 with Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas
Cross Greece and Italy off your bucket list when you join fellow members of the A-State Alumni Association in July, 2025 for a seven-night Mediterranean Cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Odyssey of the Seas!
You’ll begin the cruise on July 13, 2025 in the port city of Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy and following a day at sea, arrive at your first port, Santorini, Greece. From there you’ll sail to Ephesus, Turkey and then on to Mykonos, Greece. After another relaxing day enjoying all that Odyssey has to offer on the Mediterranean, you visit Naples, Italy before returning to Rome the following morning.
Balcony staterooms on this incredible cruise start at our exclusive rate of just $1,971 per person. Mid-ship balconies are available at $2,018 per person, while the ocean-view stateroom price is $1,568 per person. Interior staterooms are also available at $1,417 per person. Our prices include all taxes and port fees and are based on double occupancy. Gratuities may be added in advance if desired at $126 per person. Airfare and hotel arrangements are not included in the prices above, but may be added to your package, along with pre-cruise or post-cruise adventures in Rome or throughout Europe. Travel insurance is optional, but strongly encouraged to protect your investment.
A deposit of just $500 secures your stateroom aboard Odyssey of the Seas and is fully refundable up until the time of final payment on April 14, 2025. As an added perk of booking with our exclusive rates, all staterooms will receive $50 in onboard credit.
In addition to this Mediterranean voyage, we’ve also secured group rates on Thanksgiving and Christmas Caribbean cruises during the 2024 holiday season and Alaska in summer, 2025. Select dates remain for Alaska in 2024 as well.
