Sailing with Celestyal is like coming home.”

Mykonos

Day 1: Athens - We leave the historic and classical capital of Greece aboard the Celestyal Crystal and set sail on our overnight voyage to Turkey. Your first night will give you the opportunity to relax, indulge in our All-Inclusive hospitality and anticipate the adventures ahead on your very own Aegean Odyssey of discovery.

Day 2: Kusadasi - Our morning arrival gives us all day in Kusadasi, plenty of time to explore the colorful beach town that is the coastal gateway to the Hellenistic ruins of Ephesus, famed for one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis. A complimentary excursion is included and is not to be missed.

Day 3: Rhodes - If Kusadasi gave us just a glimpse of the Ancient World, then this destination leaves it to our imagination. The Colossus of Rhodes once bestrode the harbor but he is long gone. So you can take in the lovely Old Town, a maze of atmospheric cobbled streets that will transport you back to the Byzantine Empire and beyond. We have a whole day here, giving you plenty of time to discover the crystal clear waters, wonderful beaches and lush wooded valleys. Complimentary excursion to Lindos is included.

Day 4: Crete (Heraklion) - Welcome to Greece’s largest island, a place of mystery, myths and legends. There’s the chance to take in the bustling capital Heraklion and some of Crete’s extraordinary archaeology and history. You can also learn more of the art and creativity of the Minoans. We have included a complimentary visit to the Palace of Knossos, once the home of Europe’s oldest civilization and the setting for the legend of Greek hero Theseus and the Minotaur.

Idyllic Aegean 2020/2021Day 5: Santorini - Santorini is instantly recognizable and we are sure she will take your breath away, with her soaring landscapes, clusters of whitewashed houses in the capital Fira, incredible sunsets and of course the iconic blue-domed church at Oia. And don’t forget to try one of the many restaurants jostling for position at the edge of the caldera. In the evening you can explore at leisure or simply relax on deck sipping cocktails or a glass of fine wine.

Day 6: Santorini/Milos/Mykonos - You may be asleep when we depart Santorini but we will be in Milos, the Island of Colors, at breakfast time. You will have time to explore the capital Plaka, 2,000 year old catacombs or simply soak up the sun on the flat rocks of stunning Sarakiniko Beach. The real beauty of this truly gorgeous island is to be found in its stunning landscapes, wind and sea sculptured rock formations, soft sandy beaches, secluded coves and crystal clear aquamarine waters. The island’s most famous export is the Venus de Milo.

Day 7: Mykonos - The Island of the Winds awaits. We have a full day for sightseeing or just strolling through the atmospheric Old Town with its immaculate whitewashed houses, winding alleys, lovely little churches and delightful restaurants. You will undoubtedly recognize the picture postcard white windmills sitting side by side, overlooking the sea. You may want to see the ancient temples on neighboring Delos.

Day 8: Athens - We arrive back in Athens at 9am.

Day 1: Athens - We leave the historic and classical capital of Greece aboard the Celestyal Crystal and set sail on our overnight voyage to one of the most iconic and evocative places in the world, stunning Istanbul. Your first night will give you the opportunity to relax, indulge in our All-Inclusive hospitality and anticipate the adventures ahead on your very own Aegean Odyssey of discovery.

Day 2/3: Istanbul - There is no place on earth like Istanbul. We have two days in this vibrant city. Included in your itinerary is a cruise on the Bosphorus and a visit to the Spice Market. The Greeks, Romans, Venetians and the Ottomans have all held sway over this city that straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus between the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. You will see the stunning Sultan Ahmet (Blue) Mosque, Church of Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi Palace, Galata Bridge, Taksim Square and of course the incomparable Grand Bazaar. And all this just touches the surface of the place once known as Byzantium and Constantinople. There will be plenty of time to enjoy the great food in one the many buzzing restaurants.

Day 4: Çanakkale & Troy - Most people know the seaport Çanakkale as the launching point for visiting the Gallipoli battlefields. It has charming and atmospheric cobbled lanes, which are a focal point for eating, drinking and lively conversation, so why not spend a little time here near saat kulesi (clock tower) and take it all in. It was in this region that Helle, the daughter of Athamas was drowned in the legend of the Golden Fleece. The city is the nearest major center of population to the ancient site of Troy, immortalised by Homer in his epic poem, the Iliad. You will not be short of mythological associations in this part of our voyage.

Eclectic Aegean 2020/2021Day 5: Volos - We arrive in the attractive coastal port city of Volos in the morning. The area’s background will captivate you and features in some of the most remarkable tales of Greek mythology. Volos was the mythical home of Jason and the Argonauts. The famous Argonaut expedition set sail from the region which was also the birthplace of the Centaurs, part human, part equine. There is also the opportunity to visit the monasteries of Meteora, perched on the top of vertical rock formations and a wonder to behold.

Day 6: Crete (Heraklion) - Welcome to Greece’s largest island, a place of mystery, myths and legends. There’s the chance to take in the bustling capital Heraklion and some of Crete’s extraordinary archaeology and history. You can also learn more of the art and creativity of the Minoans.

Day 1: Athens - From the Greek capital, we embark in the evening on this exciting and evocative journey incorporating Africa, Asia and Europe, setting sail for Alexandria. Your first night onboard will give you the opportunity to relax, indulge in our All-Inclusive hospitality and anticipate the many adventures ahead on your very own voyage of discovery across Three Continents that captures the spirit of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Day 2: At sea - Time to enjoy the onboard activities.

Day 3: Alexandria/Port Said - Egypt’s second city was founded in 331 BC by Alexander the Great is the stuff of legends and the home of the first of our Seven Wonders. The towering Pharos lighthouse marked the entrance to the ancient harbor and the city’s Great Library was the archive of ancient knowledge. Little remains of its glorious past but Alexandria has been reinvented as a lively, cosmopolitan and commercial center. If you want to travel a little further please join us on a complimentary excursion to Cairo and the Pyramids of Giza, the only one of Seven Great Wonders still standing. You will rejoin the ship in Port Said.

Port Said: Sitting on the coast of the Mediterranean, the city was established in 1859 during the construction of the Suez Canal. It flourished for decades but its glory is a little faded. It still has an allure but the main attraction is the Suez Canal, with a raised pedestrian boardwalk running along the waterfront.

Day 4: Ashdod - Today is a fleeting visit to the Holy Land. Diverse, modern-day Ashdod covers the land of two ancient twin towns, it’s the largest port in Israel and

Three Continents 2020/2021one of the oldest cities in the world. It was inhabited by the Philistines in Biblical times and when they captured the Ark of the Covenant from the Israelites, they brought it here (although they had to give it back.)

Ashdod is only 33 miles from historic Jerusalem so a trip to see the Temple Mount, Dome of the Rock, the Wailing Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Via Dolorosa and more of the most celebrated sites and buildings anywhere, can be arranged.

Day 5: Limassol - This bustling tourist heart of Cyprus is full of character and history, not least the centuries-old Limassol Castle, home to the Cyprus Medieval Museum and its collection of pottery and tombstones. A short drive away is iconic Aphrodite’s Rock and the striking Crusader castle at Kolossi. The center of Limassol buzzes with cafes, bars and restaurants that are as popular with locals as with visitors. You can take an excursion to Pafos to visit the UNESCO archaeological site and Aphrodite’s Rock.

Day 6: Rhodes - The Colossus of Rhodes, the third of our Seven Wonders, once bestrode the harbor but he is long gone. So you can take in the lovely Old Town, a maze of atmospheric cobbled streets that will transport you back to the Byzantine Empire and beyond. Our complimentary excursion will take you to Lindos, the Acropolis, then on to the Old Town of Rhodes for a walking tour.

Day 7: Kusadasi - We arrive in Kusadasi in the morning and enjoy a full day in this colorful Turkish beach town. This is the coastal gateway to the Hellenistic ruins of Ephesus, famed for the fourth of our Seven Wonders, the Temple of Artemis.

A complimentary excursion is included and this is one of the numerous undoubted highlights of our trip.

Day 8: Athens - We return to Athens after an epic journey. We hope it will have been a ‘Wonder’ for you.

From the magic and romance of incomparable Venice to the jewels in the crown of the Adriatic, you will be left spellbound and enchanted. You will be caught up in myths and legends, fall in love with Kotor and be in awe of the beauty and resilience of Dubrovnik. So much beauty to gaze at. You may not be able to believe your eyes.

PER PERSON

US$1,160*

Day 1: Venice - Is there a more magical place to start a cruise than the City of Masks? Probably not. Gondolas, canals, stunning buildings and the unmistakable air of romance. Stroll around St Mark’s Square, visit the Doge’s Palace and Basilica di San Marco, cross the Rialto Bridge, explore the maze of winding alleys and hidden narrow back streets and have lunch by the Grand Canal.

Day 2: At sea - Time to enjoy the onboard activities.

Day 3: Corfu - Welcome to one of the most diverse, greenest and fascinating of the Greek islands, the seventh largest. When it comes to myths and legends, Odysseus was shipwrecked and sent on his way and Poseidon settled down here - allegedly. Corfu Town is cosmopolitan, charming and very friendly. You will receive a warm welcome when you step ashore and will be intrigued by the Italian feel, in large part because of its Venetian architecture. The Old Town is the ideal place to wander, soak up the atmosphere and stay a while at one of the many cafes, bars and restaurants. You may enjoy a complimentary excursion to the Achilleion.

Day 4: Patras - When we arrive in this, the largest city of the Peloponnese, its 3,000 year history as an important trading port will not be particularly obvious to you. But it was an important commercial center under the Mycenaeans and Romans. Although it is very functional, Patras also has attractive squares, fun-filled streets, and plenty of great restaurants and bars. The castle is well worth a visit and look out (you can’t really miss it) for the Rio-Andirio suspension bridge, quite a feat of engineering that links Patras with Western Continental Greece. You can take an optional excursion to the

Romantic Adriatic 2020mythical sanctuary of Zeus and the birthplace of the Olympic Games in Olympia.

Day 5: Kotor - Kotor is a beautiful city set in a spectacular bay, a medieval maze of stunning architecture, lovely churches, museums, squares sprinkled with cafes and Venetian Palaces. It is 2,000 years old and you can trace its ancient Roman beginnings. It is UNESCO listed and we are sure you will find Kotor absolutely mesmerizing. Join us on a complimentary walking tour, around the monumental city walls from the Middle Ages, criss-crossing the narrow streets to the most recognizable symbol of the city, the Cathedral of St Tryphon, a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture.

Day 6: Dubrovnik - If it is your first visit to this city on the Adriatic (or even if it isn’t), there is a palpable sense of awe and wonder when you set eyes on the old town. You will probably fall in love with the limestone streets, baroque architecture and the shimmer of the water. A walk around the ancient city walls is an absolute must, not only to get a unique perspective on Dubrovnik but to fully appreciate the magnificent structure that has protected it for centuries. There are plenty of wonderful places to eat but you may be too busy drinking in the stunning beauty at every turn.

Day 7: Split - The Venetian theme pops up again as we arrive in Split, the second city of Croatia. It was once a heavily fortified outpost of the Venetian City State, completely surrounded by the Ottoman Empire. Split is always vibrant and buzzing whilst also in part, a UNESCO World Heritage Site which encompasses Diocletian’s Palace, one of the world’s most important and impressive Roman monuments. Split has a dramatic and impressive setting, its coastal mountains the perfect backdrop to the turquoise waters of the Adriatic. Our visit here includes a complimentary walking tour, exploring the city’s historic heart.

Day 8: Venice - You arrive back in Venice early morning.

Day 1: Athens - We begin our journey in the world’s ancient capital, the cradle of western civilization and the birthplace of democracy. St Paul himself is likely to have arrived by ship at the port of Piraeus and he preached at Mars Hill (Aeropagus) near the heart of the city, the Acropolis. The Ancient Agora in the Plaka district was one of the many meeting places of the Apostle.

Day 2: Thessaloniki - Full of history, culture and beauty, this is Greece’s vibrant second city. St Paul arrived here to preach in 49 AD on his Second Missionary. His First Letter to the Thessalonians was addressed to a church in the city the following year. In a day of wonder, we see the Citadel and Vlatadon Monastery where Paul visited. Then to Veria (Berroia in the Bible) where he preached to the noble Jews. Saint Paul is the patron saint of Veria.

Day 3: Kavala - Saint Paul came to this northern city and nearby ancient Neapolis on his first journey to Europe. At ancient Philippi he baptised the first Greek and European Christian convert, Lydia. A church and open air baptistery stand on the very site. He gave his first sermon and we visit the archaeological site here including the prison where Paul and St Silas were held. St Paul’s Monument is also on our itinerary.

Day 4: Istanbul - The Greeks, Romans, Venetians and the Ottomans have all held sway over this city straddling Europe and Asia across the mighty Bosphorus. You will see the stunning Sultan Ahmet (Blue) Mosque, Hippodrome, Church of Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi Palace, Galata Bridge and of course the incomparable Grand Bazaar. This only touches the surface of the place once known as Byzantium and Constantinople. St. Paul traveled through the nearby city of Troas many times.

Steps of Paul 2021Day 5: Dikili - The port city of Dikili in Turkey is our stopping off point for Ancient Pergamon, once one of the most powerful Greek cities. Here was the northernmost of the seven churches of Asia Minor as cited in the New Testament Book of Revelation. After a visit to the Acropolis, we will visit the remains of Asklepion, a healing temple and the forerunner of what we would know as a hospital.

Day 6: Kusadasi - Kusadasi is the gateway to Ephesus, once the second largest city of the Roman Empire and of course the home of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It’s believed that Paul wrote his Letter to the Ephesians here and preached at the Great Theatre of Ephesus, carved into the side of Mt Pion. It is still renowned for its wonderful acoustics. Our day also features the ancient city of Miletus where Paul stayed on his way back to Jerusalem.

Day 7: Patmos - Patmos is one of northernmost islands in the Dodecanese and one of the smallest, most charming and most spiritual. It has an atmosphere of sacred grandeur. Patmos is most famous for being the supposed location of the vision to John the Baptist in the Book of Revelations and where it was written. When John was banished by Rome to Patmos near the end of his life, he was the last remaining of the 12 Disciples. We visit St John’s Monastery and the Holy Grotto of the Apocalypse, both of which have drawn pilgrims for centuries.

Day 8: Athens - Our return to the Greek capital after our breathtaking voyage of discovery.

Day 1: Athens/Mykonos - We leave the historic and classical capital of Greece aboard the Celestyal Olympia and set sail for our first destination, the beautiful island of Mykonos, also known as the Island of the Winds. Take an evening stroll through the atmospheric Old Town with its immaculate whitewashed houses, winding alleys, lovely little churches and delightful restaurants at the water’s edge. You will undoubtedly recognize the picture postcard white windmills sitting side by side, overlooking the sea.

Day 2: Kusadasi/Patmos - We arrive in the colorful Turkish beach town of Kusadasi in the morning. This is the coastal gateway to the Hellenistic ruins of Ephesus, famed for one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis. A complimentary excursion is included to this iconic site, one of the undoubted highlights of our journey.

Patmos, one of northernmost islands in the Dodecanese and one of all the smallest has a charm all its own. It is famous for being the supposed location of the vision to John the Baptist in the Book of Revelations and where it was written. Most scholars say this was probably someone else, but why spoil such a good story?

Iconic Aegean 2020/2021Day 3: Crete (Heraklion)/Santorini - Welcome to Crete, Greece’s largest island, a place of mystery, myths and legends. There’s the chance to take in the bustling city of Heraklion and some of Crete’s extraordinary archaeology and history. You can also learn more of the art and creativity of the Minoans. We have included a complimentary visit to the Palace of Knossos, once the home of Europe’s oldest civilization and the setting for the legend of Greek hero Theseus and the Minotaur.

Our odyssey continues as we spend an evening in Santorini, whose stunning face is instantly recognizable across the world. We’re sure she will take your breath away, with her soaring landscapes, clusters of whitewashed houses in the capital Fira, and of course the iconic blue-domed church at Oia. Don’t forget to try one of the many restaurants jostling for position at the edge of the caldera.

Day 4: Athens - We return to the capital after a whirlwind few days of adventure and discovery.

Day 1: Athens/Mykonos - Aboard the Celestyal Olympia, we leave Piraeus and head for beautiful Mykonos in the Cyclades. The island, according to Greek mythology, was formed by the bodies of giants slain by Hercules. The most recognizable site on Mykonos is the row of immaculate picture postcard white windmills overlooking the water. Every visitor takes that picture. The Old Town has many delightful cafes and tavernas along its winding alleys and time will pass very quickly in these lovely, relaxing surroundings.

Day 2: Kusadasi/Patmos - Vibrant and colorful, Kusadasi in Turkey is the gateway to the Hellenistic ruins of Ephesus, famed for the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. You can explore Ephesus on our complimentary tour. Our next port of call is Patmos, a small and charming island a little over 20 square kilometres in size and lying in the Dodecanese. Biblical legend has it as the supposed location of the vision to John the Baptist in the Book of Revelations and where it was written.

Iconic Aegean 2020/2021Day 3: Rhodes - His remains are nowhere to be seen of course but the Colossus of Rhodes once bestrode the harbor which gives us another link to the Seven Wonders. Lose yourself in the maze of atmospheric cobbled streets of the Old Town (a World Heritage Site) in that will transport you back to the Byzantine Empire and be sure to wander through the Knights Quarter and the Palace of the Grand Master. Indeed Rhodes is also known as the Island of the Knights. Our itinerary allows us a whole day here which gives plenty of opportunity to discover the clear waters, wonderful beaches and lush wooded valleys. Our complimentary excursion will take you to Lindos, the Acropolis, then on to the Old Town of Rhodes for a walking tour.

Day 4: Crete (Heraklion)/Santorini - From one evocative island to another. Crete is Greece’s largest island and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean, a place of myths and legends. There will also be the opportunity to visit the capital Heraklion and absorb some of its extraordinary history.

We then enjoy an evening in incomparable Santorini where you may get the chance to see the blue domed church at Oia. There will also be time for a wonderful, traditional meal at one of the many cliffside restaurants.

Day 5: Athens - We return to the capital in the morning after an exciting journey of discovery.
