Sailing between these two iconic cities, this cruise will not only take you to the great sites
of the Byzantine Empire but also to some of the most impressive monuments of antiquity.
Starting with an overnight in Venice, you will not only visit the great buildings and galleries
of the city, but also experience an exclusive private tour of St Mark's Basilica. Since its
first incarnation as the 7th-century BC Greek colony of Byzantium, no other city has played a
more important role in the fortunes of the eastern Mediterranean than Istanbul and it is here
that this journey ends. Visit some of the greatest buildings and works of art in the world
including the Byzantine 6th-century cathedral of Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi Palace – residence
of the early sultans – and the Blue Mosque. Among the other highlights of this voyage are the
spectacular ruins of Ephesus, the remarkable legacy of the Golden Age of Athens, ancient
Olympia and the massive Roman Palace of Diocletian in Split.
Includes a 2 night hotel stay in Istanbul.
