FROM MOROCCAN SOUKS TO THE SAHARA DESERT Morocco, with its rich and interestingculture, should be high on everyone’stravel list. Centuries of foreign trade,invasion and dynastic rule have givenMorocco the many different culturalinfluences that are evident in today'ssociety. From the Phoenicians whoentered Morocco in the 6th centuryBC, and the Roman occupation fromabout 40 AD to the formation ofIslamic Morocco and the influence of Europeans in the years after,Morocco has evolved with the rise and fall of empires.

CROSSING THE LINESituated just north of the equator offthe coast of Gabon, Sao Tome andPrincipe is a Portuguese-speakingisland nation in the Gulf of Guinea.The sublime laid-back tempo of theislands is enhanced by a wealth of natural attractions: miles of palm-fringed beaches, large areas of rainforest, mellow fishing villages and excellent birdlife. You can alsoexperience a true island paradise witha beach party on the wonderfullynamed Bom Bom Island. With its pristine beaches and crystal clearwaters, this tiny islet on the northernshore of the volcanic island of Principe is a hidden gem.

After the exotic hustle and bustle ofMorocco, the islands off Africa’s westcoast offer a complete change. Theupland villages and volcanic landscapesof Gran Canaria are little known jewelsof this charming island. Conquered bythe Spanish in the fifteenth century andfought over by the Dutch and British,it was here, during a battle in 1797,that Lord Nelson lost his right arm.Another English naval hero features inthe history of the Cape Verde Islandsas, in 1585, Sir Francis Drake twiceattacked the Portuguese forces at RibeiraGrande, the island’s capital. Portugalhad occupied the previously uninhabitedCape Verde in the fifteenth centuryand they became an important link in the transatlantic slave trade.

As Aegean Odyssey sails south, shepasses over the Equator and this eventwill be marked – as maritime traditiondemands – by the Crossing the LineCeremony.

THE SKELETON COAST TO SOUTH AFRICA GAME RESERVESBack on the mainland and the remarkable country of Namibia. Withits unique landscapes and turbulentcolonial history, Namibia is one ofAfrica’s “must-see” destinations. This reputation will be confirmed at both your Namibian destinations:Walvis Bay on the Skeleton Coast with its incredible lagoon and uniquemarine life and the German colonialport of Luderitz sandwiched betweenthe barren Namib Desert and thewindswept South Atlantic coast.Although we have become some-what accustomed to seeing Africa's magnificent wildlife on our televisions,there is nothing comparable to comingface-to-face with one of the savannah's"Big Five" (lion, Cape buffalo, elephant,leopard and rhinoceros). In SouthAfrica, you will have the opportunity to come up close to these wonderfulanimals with safaris in three of thecountry’s top game parks (see page27). South Africa also boasts manyother magnificent attractions includingthe charms of Cape Town and thebeautiful Garden Route.

The location of Cape Town, known in South Africa as the Mother City, is one of the world’s great sights with its backdrop of the majestic TableMountain and its stunning SouthAtlantic coast. It is a place of great creativity, culture and history. It is also famous for its proximity to the marvellous vineyards of theStellenbosch Valley and the CapeWinelands region. Another nearbymarvel is the Garden Route which runs along the coast where the mightyAtlantic and Indian oceans meet and features a unique landscape ofnative flora. In this remarkable country you willalso visit Durban and the nearby Zulunation. Here you will not only be guided through the fascinating butbloody history of this most famous of African peoples but also experiencetheir vibrant culture.As Aegean Odyssey makes its

way south to Cape Town, it isthe perfect time to rememberone of the great companiesform the Golden Age of shipping. Union-Castle operated a fleet of passengerliners and cargo ships betweenEurope and South Africa from1900 to 1977. Some of themost elegant ships ever builtmade up Union-Castle’s fleetand they were well known for the lavender-hulled liners with red funnels topped in black. Union-Castle ran on a very strict timetable: every Thursday at 4pm one of their Royal Mail ships would leave Southampton bound for Cape Town and at the same time, a Union-Castle Royal Mail Ship would leave Cape Town bound for Southampton.

Many of the countries here have it all: a tropical climate – warm all year round, fascinating culture, wonderfulfood and charming people. It is alsohome to dynamic cities such asSingapore and natural wonders including the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand.It’s rich history has left a legacy ofbreathtaking architectural and artistictreasures. You will visit massive ancienttemples, elegant mosques, historicchurches and mysterious ruins – thediverse nature of Asia’s history is forever on display.

ISLANDS OF THE INDIAN OCEAN On this leg of the cruise, AegeanOdyssey calls at magical tropicalislands: French Mayotte in theComoros and Mahe, Praslin and LaDigue in the Seychelles. Here you willfind the finest white sandy beaches inthe Indian Ocean, warm waters and beautiful colonial architecture. Theperfect places to slow down and relax.

LANDS OF WONDERSSoutheast Asia and India are two of the world's most popular touristdestinations, and for good reasons.

INDIA: EMPERORS AND EMPIREOn the land tour of the fabulousGolden Triangle in India the time ofthe Moghul emperors and the Age ofEmpire will grasp your attention. Thegreat monuments from these timesincluding the forts and palaces of Jaipur,Lutyen’s great monuments of the BritishRaj in Dehli and, of course, the TajMahal in Agra will inspire and delight.The magnificent sites of the IndianSubcontinent have been attractingtravellers for centuries but anotherAsian country that his home to equallymarvellous buildings, temples and

monuments has only recently begun to open up to visitors from the west.Burma, or Myanmar as it is nowknown, is rapidly becoming one of themost desired of destinations and withgood reason.

BURMA: A WORLD APART‘This is Burma’, wrote RudyardKipling. ‘It is quite unlike any placeyou know about.’ How right he was:more than a century later Myanmarremains a world apart. Visitors toBurma will discover a place where people are still attired in traditional

dress and that feels like a corner ofAsia that has changed little sinceBritish colonial times. It’s also a country of many incredible sites suchas the 4,000 sacred stupas (sacredBuddhist mounds) scattered across the plains of Bagan and the goldenShwedagon pagoda in Yangon, formerly Rangoon. This is a trulyremarkable place where holy men arestill revered and western technologyhas yet to dominate.It is these great buildings and monuments that have captivated visitors to Asia for centuries.

TAJ MAHAL: THE GREATEST LOVE STORY

Shah Jahan was the son of Jehangir, the fourth Mughalemperor of India and the grandson of Akbar the Great. In1612 he married the Persian princess Mumtaz Mahal and onbecoming Emperor in 1628 bestowed his beloved wife withthe title of Mumtaz Mahal, "Jewel of the Palace." In 1631,Mumtaz Mahal died in childbirth and Shah Jahan promisedher that he would never remarry and would build the richest mausoleum ever seen over her grave. He proved tobe a man of his word and it took 22 years and the labourof 22,000 workers to construct the monument. When ShahJahan died in 1666, his body was placed in a tomb next tothe tomb of Mumtaz Mahal and this magnificent monumentcame to be known as "Taj Mahal." 7

TREASURES OF THE RED SEA The extraordinary achievements ofman from very different ages are thehighlights of this leg of the voyage. As the historian Paul Johnson tells us,the Egyptians “were the first people onearth to create a nation-state. This stateserved as the framework of a culture ofextraordinary strength, assurance anddurability which lasted for 3,000 yearsand which retained almost to the endits now unmistakable purity of style. In the Egypt of antiquity, state, religionand culture formed an indisputableunity.” The great legacy of this mostfascinating of cultures comes to life as

you visit Luxor – the ancient city ofThebes, with its vast temple complexand the pharaonic tombs of the Valleyof the Kings. As well as the city ofPetra, Jordan is home to some of themost extensive and well-preservedGraeco-Roman ruins at Jerash.

TRANSIT THE SUEZ CANAL And then there is the more modernmarvel of the Suez Canal. Opened in November 1869 after 10 years of construction, the 120-mile long canalallows ships to travel between Europeand Asia without navigating around

fascinating history and cultures

THE LAND OF WHALEBONES AND SHIPWRECKS

The Skeleton Coast is the northern part of the Atlantic coast of Namibia and South Angola. The Bushmen of the Namibian interior called the region "The Land God Made in Anger", whilePortuguese sailors once referred to it as "The Gates of Hell". The name “Skeleton Coast” wascoined by John Henry Marsh as the title for the book he wrote chronicling the shipwreck of the British cargo liner Dunedin Star that ranaground here in November 1942. Since the bookwas first published in 1944 it has become so well known that the coast is now generallyreferred to as the Skeleton Coast and is giventhat as its official name on most maps today.8

Africa and thereby reducing the seavoyage distance between Europe andIndia by about 4,300 miles. Today, sailing through the Suez is an awe-inspiring experience and our transit of the canal will be through thedaytime hours – one of the world’sgreatest travel adventures.

CLASSICAL CIVILISATIONS OF THEMEDITERRANEAN AND AEGEANWith over 6,000 miles of coastline surrounding relatively tranquil seas,with numerous natural harbours andhundreds of habitable islands, theMediterranean and Aegean provide theperfect environment for the evolution

of complex patterns of trade and the communication of ideas. Theseconditions led to an unparalled explosion of human creativity and the birth of the great civilisations of antiquity.It is the legacy of these great culturesthat you will explore as Aegean Odyssyreaches the final leg of its winter programme. Highlights include the fantastic Graeco-Roman cities ofEphesus and Aphrodisias in Turkey, the elegance of the ruins on the sacredisland of Delos and, as a marvelloustreat to conclude this special voyage,the breathtaking spectacle of theAcropolis in Athens.

CELEBRATED GUEST SPEAKERS ON BOARD

The guest speakers who accompanyyou on the cruise are all first class.They have been carefully selected for their knowledge of the areas andtheir ability to bring to life the historyof the remarkable civilisations and cultures of the regions we visit.

Among those who will be joining us are David Price-Williams, and expert on Africa; Robert Gordon, retiredAmbassador to Burma; and DeniseHeywood who specialises in the art and culture of Southeast Asia.

Assisting the main speakers aboardship and on land will be our team of young and keen classical historygraduates. They will be on hand toanswer your questions and assist theguides on sightseeing trips.

In contrast to the massive vessels cruising to and from the major ports of the world's seas, we have a smallship adapted for island and coastalcruising. This means that AegeanOdyssey can visit less crowded harboursand sail closer to the coast enablingyou to appreciate the magical views.Another benefit of our ship’s size isthat it is able to navigate river passagesand this allows us to berth right in the heart of Yangon (Rangoon) inBurma. As we carry only an average of 350 passengers, our ship is ideal for those who do not enjoy travelling around with hordes of people. Its public spaces are ideal for socialising and enjoying intimate cocktail parties and events. If you like to wander around beautiful islands and explore ancient sites that are inaccessible to others, then Aegean Odyssey is the ideal ship for you.

Just a few comments from previous guestssteward saw to my every need, the cruise coordinator organised a dinner celebration for my birthday. Everythingwas just LOVELY!!” R.S. - USA

“I chose this cruise because the itinerary was just a little bit differentfrom the other companies I’ve looked at.It gave passengers the opportunity go toplaces and do things you couldn’t do with the other cruise lines.I would certainly recommend Voyages toAntiquity – it’s a bit intellectual, withsome fun, relaxation, good food andamazing people. The scenery has beenstunning and the places – without doubtI would recommend it.” M.M. - UK

“I have recently returned and feel disposed to write and congratulate allconcerned in providing me with a trulymemorable experience. I was a singlepassenger taking my first cruise, and canhonestly say that I could not find even thesmallest fault with the whole experience.

“You don’t need to be a history buff –anyone with an interest in culture willenjoy this cruise. In a way it inspires youto learn more and delve deeper into theplaces we have visited. The ship is such anice size – not too big and very informal.You really get to know people and it’s adelightful atmosphere.” P.M. - UK

“Everyone from the Captain, crew, cruiseorganiser, front office personel, cabin staff and beverage staff were extremelyfriendly and very helpful. They are a credit to your organisation and you canbe proud of them – they are doing a great job!” G.B. - Australia

“The voyage was a wonderful experienceand the best way for me to celebrate my 70th birthday. From my initial dealings with the booking office, to theorganised tours of the various sites, to thepassengers and crew everything was perfect. The crew was most solicitous –the maître’d made certain that I had a quiet table each evening, the cabin

The ship, its facilities, the food on board,all the crew and the excursions within the10 day itinerary were better than I daredto expect, and speaking to fellow passengers who were often well experienced in cruising, they too werepleasantly surprised at the high standards attained throughout. My onlycomplaint is that you have of coursespoiled me for any cruise other than withyour Company, and I look forward to joining you again.” G. G. B. MBE - UK

“The ship was absolutely marvellous, thecrew outstanding, accommodation food,service, entertainment all first class, and interesting Guest Speakers made it awonderful cruise.” B.W. - Australia

“WOW! Wonderful in every way! I cameby myself, but never felt alone. The shipwas very comfortable and easy to getaround. The shore excursions far exceededmy expectations! I look forward to another adventure on this intimate ship.”

SAVING THE WHITE RHINO

Saving the white rhinos from extinction is one of the greatest success stories in conservation history. In the early 1890s therewere only about 20 white rhino left in the world, all of them existing in Hluhluwe. Today, there are over 1,600 in the reserve and many others have been relocated throughout the world. As the home of Operation Rhino in the 1950s and 60s, the Park became world-renowned for its white rhino conservation. The success of this programme has recently been compromised by the increase in rhino poaching within the park. This recentthreat has not only become a great concern for the park, but for rhino conservationists countrywide.

AMMAN, ANCIENT PETRA & THE SUEZ CANAL Citadel Hill in Jordan's capital Amman is the site of an impressive concentrationof antiquity including 2nd-century ADTemple of Hercules, the Omayyad Palaceand Bronze and Iron Age remains.Graeco-Roman Jerash was built byAlexander the Great in the 2nd centuryBC and was a flourishing city of the Decapolis, the league of ten Roman cities.The city lay untouched for centuries andis very well preserved – you can seecolonnaded streets, temples and a theatrewhich once held 5,000 spectators.

Your drive to Petra takes a scenic routevia the Dead Sea – pause for lunch andtake a dip in the sea's salutary buoyantwaters. Your first glimpse of the ancientrose-red city of Petra is one you will notforget, as you emerge from the mile long path that winds between two overhanging cliffs to stand in front of the impressive colonnaded Treasury.

Embarking Aegean Odyssey in the port of Aqaba, you can relax as the shipcruises the Red Sea and enjoy a daytimesailing through the Suez Canal to theMediterranean.

CYPRUS TO TURKEY’S CRUSADER COAST & RHODESA short journey from Limassol takes youto the Graeco-Roman city of Kourion.With breathtaking views over theMediterranean, Kourion contains someremarkable monuments including thevast 2nd-century AD stadium and theSanctuary of Apollo Hylates. Then to Antalya in Turkey and the Hellenistic cityof Perge and the ancient Roman tradingtown of Aspendos with its beautifullypreserved 2nd century AD Roman theatre.

THE PARTHENON: AN EXPLOSIVE HISTORY

The year 1687 was not a good one for the Parthenon. OttomanAthens was under attack from the Venetians and the Turks decided to sequester their ammunition within the thick walls ofthe Parthenon. The Christian forces under the command of aSwedish general Count Koenigsmark, subjected the temple to aprolonged bombardment and unfortunately, the artillery hit thebulls eye. The resulting explosion destroyed 28 columns and much of the the internal structure, and further catastrophic damage followed as the triumphant Venetians botched an attempt to remove the surviving figures of the west pediment.

9. CHANGES AND CANCELLATION BY US9.1 It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your travelarrangements, but we do plan the arrangements many months in

advance. Occasionally, we may have to make changes and we reservethe right to do so at any time. Most of these changes will be minor andwe will advise you of them at the earliest possible date. We also reservethe right in any circumstances to cancel your travel arrangements. For example, if the minimum number of participants required for a particular travel arrangement is not reached, we may have to cancel it.However, we will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 90 days before your departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance.

9.2 Most alterations will be minor and while we will do our best tonotify you of any changes as soon as reasonably possible if there istime before your departure, we will have no other liability to you.Examples of “minor changes” include the following when made beforedeparture:

Where a flight has been booked, any change in the advertised identityof the carrier(s), flight timings, and/or aircraft type; a change of outward departure time or overall length of your holiday of twelvehours or less; a change of accommodation to another of the samestandard or classification.

9.3 Occasionally we may have to make a major change to your confirmed arrangements. ”Examples of “major changes” include thefollowing, when made before departure: A change of accommodationto that of a lower standard or classification for the whole or a significant part of your time away; a change to your initial embarkation or disembarkation port to a different geographical area; a change of outward departure time or overall length of your arrangements of twelve or more hours; where a flight has beenbooked, a change of UK departure airport, as long as that change is not from one London airport to another London airport. Londonairports are Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City; a significant change to your itinerary affecting the majority of the destination.

9.4 If we have to make a major change or cancel, we will tell you assoon as possible and if there is time to do so before departure, we willoffer you the choice of: a) accepting the changed arrangements; b) having a refund of all monies paid; or c) accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparablestandard from us, if available (we will refund any price difference if thealternative is of a lower value).

You must notify us of your choice within 7 days of our offer. If you failto do so we will assume that you have chosen to accept the change oralternative booking arrangements.

Very rarely, we may be forced by "force majeure" (see clause 11) to change or terminate your arrangements after departure. If this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds(unless we obtain any from our suppliers), pay you compensation ormeet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.

The most we will have to pay you forthat claim or that part of a claim if we are found liable to you on anybasis is the most the carrier or hotel keeper concerned would have topay under the international convention or regulation which applies to the travel arrangements or hotel stay in question (for example, theWarsaw Convention as amended or un-amended and the MontrealConvention for international travel by air and/or for airlines with anoperating licence granted by an EU country, the EC Regulation on Air Carrier Liability No 889/2002 for national and international travelby air, the Athens convention for international travel by sea).

Please Note:Where a carrier or hotel would not be obliged to makeany payment to you under the applicable International Convention orRegulation in respect of a claim or part of a claim, we similarly are notobliged to make a payment to you for that claim or part of the claim.When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any moneywhich you have received or are entitled to receive from the transportprovider or hotelier for the complaint or claim in question. Copies ofthe applicable International Conventions and Regulations are availablefrom us on request. We do not have any liability to you in any circumstances in which the carrier is liable to you by virtue of theDenied Boarding Regulation 2004 which applies solely to the operating carrier. Any liability we may have to you under our contractwith you, arising out of the same facts, is limited to the remedies provided under the Regulation as if (for this purpose only) we were acarrier; any sums you receive from the carrier will be deducted fromany amount due from ourselves.

10.6 Travel by sea is governed by the provisions of the ConventionRelating to the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea 1974

as amended in 1976 (“The Athens Convention) and where applicablefrom 1 January 2013 EU Regulation 392/2009 relating to the Liabilityof carriers of passengers by sea in the event of accidents (“EURegulation 392/2009).

Damages for cabin luggage payable by the Carrier are limited up to theAthens Convention limit of 833 SDRs or 2250 SDRs if EU Regulation392/2009 applies.

Limits shall be reduced in proportion to any contributory negligence by the passenger and by the maximum deductible specifiedin Article 8 (4) of the Athens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009.Copies of the Athens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009 areavailable from us on request.

In so far as we may be liable to you in respect of claims arising out ofcarriage by sea we shall be entitled to all rights, defences, immunitiesand limitations available, respectively, to the actual carrier and underthe relevant Conventions, and nothing in these Booking Conditionsshall be deemed as a surrender thereof. To the extent that any provision in these Booking Conditions is made null and void by theAthens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009 or any legislationcompulsorily applicable or is otherwise unenforceable, it shall be voidto that extent but not further. Our liability will not at any time exceedthat of the carrier under its Conditions of Carriage and/or applicableor incorporated conventions or other legislation.

Any liability in respect of death and personal injury and loss of anddamage to luggage which we may incur to you whether under our contract with you, in accordance with these Booking Conditions orotherwise, shall always be subject to the limits of liability contained inthe Athens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009 for death/personalinjury of 46,666 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) or 300,000 SDR underAthens Convention or 400,000 SDRs under EU Regulation 392/2009except in the case of liability for war or terrorism 250,000 SDRs.

If they have been deposited with the receptiondesk on the ship for safe keeping and a receipt issued then in thoselimited circumstances the Carriers liability will be as set out in theAthens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009. The use of safesonboard a Vessel is not a deposit with the ship or with us under theAthens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009 or otherwise. The limits are 1200 SDRs pursuant to Athens or 3,375 SDRs pursuant toEU Regulation 392/2009.

10.7Where there is any loss of or damage to property including luggage which is not covered by any international convention andwhere liability is not limited by reference to any enactment, terms ofconditions, then any legal liability that we may have for any such losses or damage will not exceed £500 per guest.
