TUI Cruises is marking its return to the eastern Mediterranean on May 13 with the Mein Schiff 5, which will offer two different one-week itineraries sailing from Crete to either Rhodes, Piraeus (Athens) and Souda (Chania) or Corfu, Katakolon and Piraeus. 

Six cruises are open for booking as of Friday. The seven-day trip starts at 1,399 euros per person for a balcony cabin and from 1,849 euros per person for a junior suite.

Pricing includes flights on chartered aircraft, as TUI operates the entire trip in a bubble. Passengers wishing to disembark in ports of call must purchase a TUI-organized shore excursion.
