1 / 24

Kavala/Philippi

Greece

Day: 2
Date: Jun 17, 2027
Arrive: 12:00 PM
Depart: 9:00 PM

Istanbul

Turkey

Day: 1
Date: Jun 16, 2027
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: Jun 18, 2027
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: Jun 19, 2027
Arrive: 7:00 AM
Depart: 6:00 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

Day: 5
Date: Jun 20, 2027
Arrive: 10:00 AM
Depart: 5:00 PM

Rhodes

Greece

Day: 6
Date: Jun 21, 2027
Arrive: 8:00 AM
Depart: 3:00 PM

Best known of the Dodecanese Islands, Rhodes is a fascinating architectural patchwork of her past. Here the legacy of the ancient Greeks mingles with that of besieging Turks, crusading knights, and occupying Italians.

Santorini

Greece

Day: 7
Date: Jun 22, 2027
Arrive: 8:00 AM
Depart: 6:00 PM

"Thira, the Wild Island" and "Kalliste, the Fairest One" - all terms of endearment for this seductive, volcanic Greek island in the Sea of Crete.

Valletta

Malta

Day: 9
Date: Jun 24, 2027
Arrive: 8:00 AM
Depart: 10:00 PM

Occupied successively by the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, French and British, Malta has been of strategic importance throughout history. A British Crown Colony until 1964, Malta received the George Cross for its valiant resistance to German occupation in WWII.

Syracuse (Sicily)

Italy

Day: 10
Date: Jun 25, 2027
Arrive: 8:00 AM
Depart: 6:00 PM

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.

Salerno

Italy

Day: 11
Date: Jun 26, 2027
Arrive: 10:00 AM
Depart: 5:00 PM

Set along the Tyrrhenian Sea, Salerno is a welcoming port often known as the gateway for exploring the fabled Amalfi Coast.

Rome (Civitavecchia)

Italy

Day: 12
Date: Jun 27, 2027
Arrive: 8:00 AM

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. Gaze at the masterpieces of the Vatican or walk into the past with visits to ancient relics, historic monuments and legendary museums.
