From the Byzantine mosaics of Hagia Sophia to the medieval streets of the Rhodes Old Town, experience over 2,500 years of history — spanning Ottoman, Byzantine, Roman, and ancient Greek civilizations — all in one seamless voyage. Cruise for 8 nights from Istanbul, Turkey, to Athens, Greece, aboard the luxurious Ponant Le Dumont D’Urville, an exclusively chartered, deluxe small ship. Explore Turkey’s most significant — and less-often visited — archaeological sites, including ancient Troy; the world’s steepest ancient theater, dramatically positioned in Pergamon’s acropolis; and the fascinating Museum of Underwater Archaeology, housed in Bodrum’s medieval castle. Continue on to Greece, where you’ll stop at Rhodes, Naxos, Mykonos and Athens, featuring ancient wonders such as the Temple of Zeus and the Acropolis. Enjoy both guided tours of complex historical sites and free time for personal discovery and relaxation. Throughout, savor a boutique cruising experience with personalized service and fabulous dining. This unforgettable program — steeped in history, culture and archaeology — is perfect for the curious traveler who wants to explore the world in style.
