Arrive
12:00 PM
Depart
9:00 PM

Istanbul

Turkey

Day
1
Date
Oct 15, 2028
Depart
6:00 PM

Arriving in Istanbul, Turkey on board a ship is an unforgettable experience. The Bosphorus, dividing Europe and Asia, welcomes passengers with ocean breezes, soaring seagulls and-if you're lucky-playful dolphins that frolic en route to the port. On deck is where the views of Istanbul's best attractions await.

Thessaloniki

Greece

Day
3
Date
Oct 17, 2028
Arrive
9:00 AM
Depart
8:00 PM

Lying on the ancient trade route linking the Adriatic with Istanbul, Thessaloníki has long held a confluence of cultures. This vibrant port city was only incorporated into the modern Greek state in 1912-almost a century after the rest of Greece was liberated from the Ottoman Empire.

Volos

Greece

Day
4
Date
Oct 18, 2028
Arrive
7:00 AM
Depart
5:00 PM

The span of highrise buildings that line the waterfront at Volos speak to modern Greece, rather than the ancient land. Indeed Volos is a very Greek city, a busy port and not high on the list of places for a traveler to visit.

Ephesus (Kusadasi)

Turkey

Santorini

Greece

Day

Date
Oct 21, 2028

The greatest Greek city and most beautiful of them all,” is how Cicero described Syracuse, once the largest city in the ancient world. Travel back in time on the island of Ortygia, where Syracuse was founded by the Greeks in 734 BC.

Day
12
Date
Oct 26, 2028

Endless adventures await in Rome. With two and a half thousand years of history, art and culture, it is no wonder Rome is one of the most visited cities on the planet.
