HOW ROUGH ARE THE SEAS

Hello, thank you for your inquiry. The Aegean Sea is known for some of the calmest waters in the Mediterranean, and we have rarely had participants complain about motion sickness during our Road Scholar programs. As a general rule, motion is felt much less in larger ships than smaller ones – so we would highly recommend that your mother choose a program to Greece onboard the Odyssey (such as this one) over one of our small ship programs. In regards to the weather conditions, storms and rougher seas are more common during the Fall than the Spring, which is why an April departure is probably better than the September or October departures of this program. We hope to see you and your mother on this program soon! Best, Rachel
