Embarking from Piraeus (Athens), you will reach Iraklion (Crete). Crete's capital city is nearing its 10th millennia of human habitation and seems to always have been with us! Draw from places deep in our archetypal well. Empires come and go, but the city abides, all alleyways, blue sea, and sunshine. On to Port Said (Egypt) and in to Alexandria (Egypt). Founded in 331 BC by Alexander the Great, Alexandria offers museums filled with mummies, as well as access to the Pyramids and Sphinx. At sea, Rhodes (Greece) comes next and on to Ephesus (Turkey). Its Temple of Artemis was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world! Your free cruise excursion will reveal glory in the old stones. Ephesus has one of the largest collections of ruins in the eastern Mediterranean. Prime among them is the library, whose two-story façade still stands, and the house said to be the last residence of Mary, mother of Jesus. On to Mykonos (Greece), ramble along narrow streets past white-washed houses and blue-domed churches, bougainvillea-covered walls and thread-like, step-laden footpaths leading everywhere. Cruising The Dardanelles, you will embark in Constantinople (Turkey). Cross the Galata Bridge to the old city, past the Süleymaniye Mosque, whose 174-foot dome was once the highest in the Ottoman Empire. Pass the ancient city walls, built by Constantine, and beneath the epic Roman aqueduct. You've come for spice; for the scent of curry, saffron, and myrrh; for a taste of something ancient thick with nearly 10 millennia of history.
A magical adventure that goes hand in hand with Holland America’s long and proud history of delivering extraordinary five-star cruising experiences with spacious and comfortable ships at sea, award-winning service, fine dining, compelling activities and extensive enrichment programmes. Century Travel’s fantastic free excursion offer is open to all customers who book by the end of April 2013 and includes transfers, flights, cruise, hotels and all taxes.
