Day 2 - Cruising The Dardanelles

Day 2 - Istanbul

Arrive: Sat 15 May 2021

Blurring the line between east and west, Istanbul stands at the crossroads of two continents. The city's architecture is rivalled only by its spectacular natural setting on the Bosphorus Strait. See the Blue Mosque, the Topkapi Palace and the Byzantine Church of St Sophia. Take time to wander through the Grand Bazaar or the Spice Market and sample baklava and shish kebabs.

Day 4 - Mykonos

Arrive: Mon 17 May 2021 at 12:00 / Depart: Mon 17 May 2021 at 23:00

Informality rules on this sunny isle where pleasure-seekers from around the world come to play. Ramble along narrow streets past white-washed houses and blue-domed churches, bouganvillea-covered walls and thread-like, step-laden footpaths leading everywhere.

Day 5 - Kusadasi

Arrive: Tue 18 May 2021 at 07:00 / Depart: Tue 18 May 2021 at 18:30

Ephesus, not far from the port at Kusadasi, is home to the one remaining pillar from the Temple of Artemis—an Ancient Wonder of the World. Marble streets lead past magnificent ruins of temples and baths, and the Celsus Library. Don't miss the amphitheater where St Paul preached to the Ephesians. Roman ruins are also on display at Pirea and Didyma.

Day 6 - Rhodes

Arrive: Wed 19 May 2021 at 08:00 / Depart: Wed 19 May 2021 at 18:00

Rhodes, set behind impregnable 14th-century walls, invites you to navigate through crooked streets to shop for sea sponges and visit the gorgeous Palace of the Grand Masters from where the Knights of St John set out on the Crusades. Tour to the village of Lindos and climb to the Acropolis. Look down and you'll see where St Paul landed, as well as the rocky peninsulas where many believe the Colossus of Rhodes once stood. This 110-foot-tall statue of Helios was destroyed by an earthquake, and its remains were melted down by the Arabs for scrap metal.

Day 7 - Thira, Santorini

Arrive: Thu 20 May 2021 at 08:00 / Depart: Thu 20 May 2021 at 17:00

Your harbor on this island was created by a volcano in 1500 BC., and the effect is still explosive: steep cliffs rise from sea level, cubist white houses glow in the Aegean sun. Sample shore excursion: Panoramic Santor ni.

Day 8 - At Sea

Day 9 - Korcula

Arrive: Sat 22 May 2021 at 08:00 / Depart: Sat 22 May 2021 at 17:00

Forts and fishing villages, beaches and bazaars, sailing harbors and seashores- When Marco Polo set out to explore the East in 1271, these are the treasures he left behind in his hometown. Some elements have changed little in red-roofed, sun-drenched Kor ula.

Day 10 - Rijeka, Croatia

Arrive: Mon 24 May 2021 at 08:00 / Depart: Mon 24 May 2021 at 18:00

Day 12 - Venice

Arrive: Tue 25 May 2021

Discover la Serenissima by gondola and ride with someone special under the Bridge of Sighs; wonder at the opulence of Ducal palaces and try on a gaudy, feather-bedecked Carnival mask. Linger over cappuccino on the Ca d'Oro, and be sure to dodge the pigeons in the Piazza before you step into San Marco Cathedral for an eyeful of giltwork and divine frescoes.

Day 13 - Venice

Depart: Wed 26 May 2021 at 17:00

Discover la Serenissima by gondola and ride with someone special under the Bridge of Sighs; wonder at the opulence of Ducal palaces and try on a gaudy, feather-bedecked Carnival mask.

Arrive: Fri 28 May 2021 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 28 May 2021 at 16:00

In the quiet of the original Olympic stadium, where the torch was first lit and the winners were crowned with a laurel wreath, let your imagination run. Step into the ruined archives of Greek mythology at the Temple of Zeus—one of the few remaining Wonders of the Ancient World.

Day 16 - Piraeus (Athens), Greece

Day 17 - At Sea

Day 18 - Haifa

Arrive: Mon 31 May 2021 at 08:00 / Depart: Mon 31 May 2021 at 23:00

Day 19 - Ashdod

Arrive: Tue 01 June 2021 at 08:00 / Depart: Tue 01 June 2021 at 20:00

The largest port in Israel, Ashdod is a gateway to Jerusalem, the 5,000-year-old walled city that is considered sacred to more than a third of the people on Earth. Numerous sites exist nearby, including the Jewish sacred Western Wall, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre said to be the site of Calvary and to contain a piece of the true cross. In Ashdod, meander along the seaside promenade, or HaMidrehof this area is being termed the Southern Riviera of the city and includes many spectacular beaches. Dip your toes in the Dead Sea waters, long known for their health benefits. Visit the Bar-Gera Museum to view a collection of art by artists who were either banned or persecuted by the Nazis and other fascist governments. The Yad Vashem Memorial Museum is dedicated to the six million Jews who lost their lives during the Holocaust.

Day 20 - Limassol

Arrive: Wed 02 June 2021 at 07:00 / Depart: Wed 02 June 2021 at 15:00

On the island's south coast, Limassol is very much in the Greek sector of Cyprus. Nearby crusaders' castles, Greco-Roman ruins, olive groves and vineyards all speak to a lifestyle that is intrinsically Hellenic, and wizened lacemakers weave the traditions of their ancestors into their detailed work.
