Myths, Monuments & Mediterranean Magic

Cruising through the ancient Eastern Mediterranean is like stepping into a time machine—if time machines came with infinity pools and a cocktail menu. This is where myth and history collide, where the ruins of once-great empires rise against impossibly blue skies, and where every port whispers tales of gods, warriors, and legendary explorers. One moment, you're wandering through the grand remains of Athens’ Acropolis, and the next, you're sipping strong Greek coffee in a sun-drenched taverna, debating whether to climb another hill for that perfect sunset view or just order more baklava.

And let’s talk about that Aegean and Adriatic magic—the kind of sea so hypnotically blue it seems to glow, wrapping around hidden coves, whitewashed villages, and islands that have inspired poets for centuries. Whether you're floating in the crystalline waters of the Turkish coast, exploring medieval fortresses in Croatia, or losing yourself in the maze-like streets of a sun-bleached Greek island, every moment feels drenched in history and wonder.

Tremendous all round service.

Great service all round, from booking to the emails (several) I sent with queries about the trip, nothing was too much trouble and all sorted by return. Thank you all.

I called and spoke to Mary Isaac. She was very helpful and answered all my questions. She has been on the ship and could tell me all about it. It's my first cruise so there were a lot of questions. Mary was extremely helpful.
