    From Athens to Aqaba, explore six incredible and diverse ancient lands as you cruise by luxury yacht through the Mediterranean and Red Seas. Uncover historical treasures that include World Heritage sites, a rich tapestry of culture and fabled tales, along with extraordinary beauty on this unforgettable voyage.

    Embark on this extraordinary 20-day voyage on board your luxury yacht, cruising to some of the most historic and captivating ports of call in the East Mediterranean and Red Sea. As you journey through six countries, discover some of the world’s most ancient lands and historic treasures, while immersed in diverse culture and spectacular island and coastal beauty. Your unforgettable cruise begins in Greece and Athens, the ancient capital and birthplace of western civilisation. Then set sail for the Aegean Sea and a series of stunning Greek islands drenched in history and mythology: these include Delos, one of Greece’s most important archaeological sites, sacred Patmos, ‘Island of the Apocalypse’ and an important European pilgrimage site and the Medieval Old Town of Rhodes. You’ll also visit world-famous islands, Santorini and Mykonos, where captivating landscapes and traditional whitewashed architecture blend with cosmopolitan flair and have time to relax on the gorgeous beaches of Kos and Paros. Dipping into the rugged Turkish coastline, stop at Kusadasi, for Ephesus, one of the ancient world's most important cities, Bodrum, for the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the ‘Seven Wonders of the World,’ and Antalya, a coastal paradise for nature lovers. Soak up the cultural treasures of Limassol, in Cypress and Haifa, in Israel, before navigating through the historic Suez Canal, a feat of engineering that connects the Mediterranean and Red seas. Arriving in Egypt, ancient wonders and stunning landscapes await, from the astounding Great Pyramids of Giza to the vivid underwater world of resort city, Sharm El-Sheikh. Your wondrous cruise concludes in Aqaba, Jordan, home to more archaeological wonders and gateway to the ancient City of Petra and Wadi Rum, a protected desert wilderness.
