your two-week odyssey illuminates a region with history spanning

from the birth of civilization through the dramatic end of the Cold

War. Epic tales of the past resonate within the ancient walls of

Turkeys Byzantine churches and exquisite Ottoman mosques.

Watch turquoise waves crash on black pebble beaches as you

sail past deep canyons and jutting cliffs of the Crimean Peninsula.

Visit Livadia Palace where Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin

determined Europes fate, and enter Balaklavas former secret

Soviet submarine base. Traverse the Crimean War battlefields,

immortalized in Tennysons famous poem commemorating theill-fated British cavalry charge.

Aside from experiencing the beauty and diversity of the Black

Sea while cruising in comfort on the MV Aegean Odyssey, you will

also spend two nights in Istanbul. Space is limited, so please call

today to make your reservation.
