Day 4 - Cartagena, Colombia

Arrive: Sun 09 January 2022 at 18:00

Cartagena de Indias, the city's official name, is steeped in history and truly one of the most interesting cities in the Western Hemisphere. Located on Colombia's Caribbean coast, Cartagena's founding dates to 1533 and is credited to Don Pedro de Heredia. The historic Old City is still surrounded by massive walls and formidable fortresses loom over the bay. At one time, there were two entrances into the well-protected harbour. One of them, Boca Grande, was blocked off by the Spaniards following an attack by the English in 1741. Today, access into the bay is only possible via Boca Chica, which is flanked by two ancient forts. Caution: As in many ports, it is best not to wear valuable jewellery or carry large amounts of cash when going into town. Keep an eye on your bags, cameras etc. at all times, especially in the tourist areas of the historic centre.

Day 6 - San Blas

Arrive: Tue 11 January 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Tue 11 January 2022 at 18:00

The San Blas archipelago is located off the Caribbean coast, east of Colon, and is made up of 365 islands that range in size from tiny ones with a few coconut palms to islands on which hundreds of Kuna Indians live. Only about fifty are inhabited. The Kuna rule the San Blas Territory with internal autonomy, and have tightly preserved their language and cultural traditions over the centuries despite influences from European colonies. In addition to their own language, Spanish is widely spoken and many men work on the mainland, but live on the islands. The women wear costumes with unique designs based on local themes, geometric patterns, and stylised fauna and flora.

Day 7 - Panama Canal Transit

Day 8 - At Sea

Day 9 - Manta

Arrive: Fri 14 January 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 14 January 2022 at 18:00

Manta is one of Ecuador’s ports along the central coast and the most populated city in Manabi Province. Its existence can be traced to pre-Columbian times when Manta was a trading post for the Incas and Mantas. It was also the port where Charles Marie de La Condamine arrived, leading the French mission to measure the location of the equator in 1735.

Day 10 - At Sea

Day 11 - Salaverry (Trujillo)

Arrive: Sun 16 January 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Sun 16 January 2022 at 17:00

Salaverry is the port for Trujillo, Peru’s third largest city. Located about nine hours north of Lima, Trujillo was founded in 1534 by the Spanish conquistador Pizarro. The attractive, colonial city retains much of its original charm with elegant casonas, or mansions, lining the streets.

Day 12 - Lima. Peru

Arrive: Mon 17 January 2022 at 12:00

Day 13 - Lima. Peru

Depart: Tue 18 January 2022 at 19:00

Day 14 - Pisco

Arrive: Wed 19 January 2022 at 07:00 / Depart: Wed 19 January 2022 at 18:00

The port city of Pisco is blessed with magnificent natural beauty and rich historical importance, offerings inviting beaches, ideal weather and pleasant scenery — a combination that draws visitors throughout the year. The shores of the Paracas Peninsula and waters of the bay teem with wildlife and have been declared a national reserve. Condors frequently can be seen gliding on the sea winds or perched on the cliffs; pink flamingos often rest here on their migratory flights. The complex interaction between wind and ocean, sun and land has transformed this region into a kind of lunarscape under an equatorial sun. The rich marine life of the nearby Ballestas Islands is often likened to a miniature Galapagos where inquisitive sea lions come right up to the excursion boats.

Day 15 - At Sea

Day 16 - Arica

Arrive: Fri 21 January 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 21 January 2022 at 19:00

This seaside oasis among golden sand dunes is Chile's northernmost gateway; it is also a rapidly developing resort. Located just 30 miles (about 50 kilometres) from the border of Peru and linked to Bolivia by land and air, Arica enjoys an interesting cultural exchange. The city lies at the foot of El Morro headland with the Andes as a distant backdrop. Its mild climate, gardens, and parks brimming with luxuriant flora have earned Arica the name "City of Eternal Spring”. During the colonial period, Arica was important as the Pacific end of the silver route from Potosi. The rerouting of Bolivian trade through Cobija led to a decline from which the city recovered after building a rail link with Tacna and La Paz.

Day 22 - Puerto Montt

Arrive: Thu 27 January 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Thu 27 January 2022 at 14:00

Located on the northern tip of the vast Reloncavi Bay, Puerto Montt is the gateway to the Chilean Lake District. Crowding the harbor are vessels that ply the route between Cape Horn and Puerto Montt, finding shelter here from the storms of the Pacific. The first German colonists arrived in this area in 1852; their descendants have remained a small but influential percentage of the 130,000 inhabitants. The town spreads along a narrow seaboard and climbs the slopes that enclose Puerto Montt to the north. Since 1985, the city has experienced considerable growth and development. In addition to some 30 salmon farms, fishing and forestry industries, there are service companies, new hotels, restaurants, cafés and a variety of shops. For the visitor, the town itself offers scant attractions apart from shingle-roofed houses around a flowered central square. It is its proximity to the lake and mountain region that makes Puerto Montt a sought after starting point for many travelers. A short distance from the pier is the small fishing port of Angelmo. Its row of stalls lining both sides of the street offers a wide variety of regional handicrafts and souvenir items.

Day 23 - Laguna San Rafael

Arrive: Fri 28 January 2022 at 12:30 / Depart: Fri 28 January 2022 at 19:00

Some 150 nautical miles south of Puerto Chacabuco lies Laguna San Rafael National Park. Getting here is in itself a wonderful experience as the ship cruises through waterways, fjords and estuaries that offer stunning scenery. Within the park is the tallest peak in the Southern Andes, Mount San Valentín at 13,310 feet. Fields of ice extend over this mountain and the surrounding hills and from it 19 glaciers are born. However, the most famous attraction is the Mount San Valentín glacier. Here large blocks of ice can be seen calving off the glacier and crashing into the lake with a thunderous roar. Truly an amazing sight!

Day 49 - Cape Town

Arrive: Wed 23 February 2022 at 13:00

Cape Town's setting ranks as one of the most beautiful in the world. Situated near the southern tip of the vast African continent, about 25 miles from the Cape of Good Hope, the city spreads between the 3,000-foot-high, flat-topped Table Mountain and the sparkling sea. The official founding of Cape Town is recorded as April 6, 1652. On that day, Jan van Riebeeck arrived at Table Bay with a small expedition. They proceeded to build a fort for the Dutch East India Company to serve as a base for their ships where they could take on provisions of fresh meat, fruit and vegetables. Van Riebeeck started to barter with the Khoikhoi tribe and planted gardens that are known today as the Company's Gardens. At first sight, Cape Town appears surprisingly small. The city center, lying to the north of Table Mountain and east of Signal Hill, is also referred to as the City Bowl. Its compactness makes for easy exploration on foot, starting with the historic Company's Gardens. Cape Town offers museums, parks and gardens in addition to numerous historical buildings, such as the Castle, which is the oldest surviving building in South Africa. It was built between 1666 and 1679, replacing Van Riebeeck's original mud-walled fort. Outside of the city, attractions include impressive mountains, great surfing beaches, outstanding wineries and splendid scenery. A cable car ride up Table Mountain offers visitors a spectacular panorama on a clear day. (The cable car's operation is subject to weather conditions.) With its unique setting, cosmopolitan population and diverse cultures, Cape Town is a highlight of any visit to South Africa.

Day 52 - At Sea

Day 53 - Port Elizabeth, South Africa

Arrive: Sun 27 February 2022 at 07:00 / Depart: Sun 27 February 2022 at 18:00

Port Elizabeth is the third largest port and the fifth largest city in South Africa. The center is spread over steep hills overlooking Algoa Bay. Except for some interesting historical architecture, 21st-century Port Elizabeth, or PE as it is commonly known, has few attractions of note. To compensate, the town is surrounded by charming countryside; it bills itself as the Friendly City. Its origins go back to the site of Fort Frederick around which settlers from Britain established Port Elizabeth in 1820.

Day 54 - At Sea

Day 55 - Durban

Arrive: Tue 01 March 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Tue 01 March 2022 at 23:00

The great natural harbor of Port Natal, on whose shores the city of Durban now stands, was thought by early Portuguese navigators to be a lagoon at the mouth of a large river. They called the harbor Rio de Natal (Christmas River), as its discovery fell on Christmas Day in 1497. The name Durban was acquired in 1843 when Port Natal was renamed for Sir Benjamin D'Urban, the Cape governor who had ordered the British annexation of Natal. Durban became a municipality in 1854 and a city in 1935. Today it is one of the principal cargo ports on the African continent, a center for industry and a major holiday resort. With a population of almost one million people, Durban is a bustling, subtropical city with a warm, more often hot and sultry climate that favors the luxuriant growth of trees and gardens. It is considered to be the Asian capital of South Africa with a massive Indian population. While the downtown area is predominantly Muslim, Hindu Durban lies to the north of the city center. It was here in the Phoenix Park Settlement that Mahatma Gandhi set up his retreat center in 1903, from where moral support was drawn for the Indian demonstrations of 1913. Durban's 21st-century economy can largely be credited to the immense amount of cargo passing through its huge port, as well as to the thousands of Transvaal holiday makers who, since the 1930s, have turned the city's beachfront into a popular playground. Its most dominant landmark is the handsome Grey Street Mosque, the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.

Day 56 - Richard's Bay

Arrive: Wed 02 March 2022 at 07:00

Richards Bay was named after Frederick William Richards of the British Royal Navy. When he learned of the conflict the English experienced in Zululand, Richards arrived with 250 men in support of his fellow countrymen. He also made a survey of the coast in 1879. In 1906, development of the area got underway with the founding of the Zululand Fisheries and the first ox wagon trek to the town of Empangeni. In 1928, Richards Bay got a hotel and a store, from which it gradually developed into the economic center of Northern Kwazulu-Natal. A new deep-water port inaugurated in 1976 is the second largest port in the country after Durban. In its wake, a number of large and small industries, hotels, shops and restaurants have sprung up, causing the town to develop at a record-breaking pace. The most important attractions however are found outside Richards Bay in the game reserves and cultural villages. For many visitors Zululand represents some of the "real" Africa, an area that covers much of central Kwazulu-Natal, including the port of Richard's Bay and the adjacent Hluhluwe Game Park. The region is dominated by the Zulu tribe; their customs, historical traditions and culture are evident throughout the region. The name Zulu derives from an early chief, whose descendants were called aba-kwa Zulu, or people of Zulu. Their capital is Ulundi, located north of the Tugela River. Much of Zululand comprises a scenic, hilly interior plus some coastal areas, where it is usually hot and humid.

Arrive: Tue 08 March 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Tue 08 March 2022 at 19:00

Trips into the lush countryside may include a ride up to Mt. Passot. At 950 feet, this is the highest point on the island. The view from the top offers an extensive panorama of crater lakes nestled between verdant hills. Most visitors make the boat trip to Nosy Komba. The tiny island is known for its lemur reserve. These arboreal primates, with their large eyes, soft fur and long curling tails, have lived unharmed for centuries in the forest behind Ampangorina village. The lemurs are a popular tourist attraction and a profitable source of income to the small local community.

Day 65 - Zanzibar

Arrive: Fri 11 March 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 11 March 2022 at 23:00

Zanzibar, known as the Spice Island, is separated from mainland Tanzania by a 22-mile-wide channel. The name itself evokes a romantic past that includes memories of great seafarers and explorers, and tales of famous deeds and great riches. To Zanzibar's shores came the Sumarians, Assyrians, Arabs, Chinese and Malays - all contributing to the island's turbulent history. From its shores, the great European explorers - Burton, Speke, Krapf and Livingstone - set out on their voyages of discovery to the mainland. The Portuguese were the first Europeans to arrive at Zanzibar in the 15th century, starting a reign of exploitation including the export of slaves and ivory. The island's main town, Stone Town or Zanzibar Town, on the west coast has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Center. The different nationalities that have settled in Zanzibar over the centuries have left a distinct mark on its people and architecture. Of special note are the ornate wooden doors and intricately carved balconies. Walking through the narrow streets of Stone Town the visitor catches a glimpse of the town's exotic life. A scent of cloves in the air serves as a reminder that this is indeed the Spice Island. At one time, Zanzibar supplied the world's tables with cloves. Today there are still plantations that cultivate a variety of spices, but the island's economy depends ever more on tourism. The warm waters of the Indian Ocean are a major draw for vacationers, encouraging such holiday activities as swimming, sailing and exploring beneath the ocean in unspoiled underwater parks.

Day 66 - Dar Es Salaam

Arrive: Sat 12 March 2022 at 08:00

Located on the Indian Ocean coast, Dar es Salaam is the commercial capital and the country's major city. Originating from a small fishing village, Dar es Salaam began to gain importance in the mid-19th century when the Sultan of Zanzibar decided to establish a trading center which necessitated a safe port. In 1862, the Sultan of Zanzibar, Seyyid Majid, started the construction of the city. He wanted a settlement on the mainland that would act as a focus for trade and caravans into the interior. Craftsmen from Zanzibar were brought to build the new city. A steam tug was ordered from Germany to assist with the tricky harbor entrance and to speed up movements in the wind-sheltered inner waters. When Sultan Majid suddenly died in 1870, his successor did not share Majid's enthusiasm for the new settlement with the result that it became neglected. Sultan Barghash did maintain control over Dar es Salaam through an agent who made sure that duties were collected for use of the harbor. In 1887, the German East African Company took up residence in Dar es Salaam and made it the main center for their administration and commercial activities. Many buildings from the German period are still in use today. A floating dock made operational in 1902 and the construction of the Central Railway to Lake Tanganyika further strengthened the importance of the port.

Day 70 - Mahe

Arrive: Wed 16 March 2022 at 12:00

Like jade-colored jewels in the Indian Ocean, the more than 100 Seychelles Islands are often regarded as the Garden of Eden. Lying just four degrees south of the equator, the Seychelles are some 1,000 miles from the nearest mainland Africa. Little more than 200 years ago, all 115 islands were uninhabited.Then in 1742 a French ship dispatched from Mauritius sailed into one of the small bays. Captain Lazare Picault was the first to explore these unnamed islands. He encountered breathtaking vistas of rugged mountains, lagoons, coral atolls, splendid beaches and secluded coves. After Picault sailed away, the islands remained untouched for the next 14 years. Then France took possession of the seven islands in the Mahé group. During an expedition Captain Morphey named them the Sechelles, in honor of Vicomte Moreau de Sechelles.This name was later anglicized to Seychelles. The first settlers arrived at St. Anne's Island in 1770; 15 years later the population of Mahé consisted of seven Europeans and 123 slaves. Today there are about 80,000 Seychellois, the majority of whom live on Mahé; the rest are scattered in small communities throughout the archipelago.The people are a fusion of three continents — Africa, Asia and Europe.This has created a unique culture and the use of three languages — Creole, French and English. Mahé is the largest island in the archipelago and the location of the capital,Victoria. Ringed by steep, magnificent mountains, few capitals can claim a more beautiful backdrop.The town features a mixture of modern and indigenous architecture; it is the center of business and commerce thanks to the extensive port facilities. Noteworthy sites in Victoria are the museum, cathedral, government house, clock tower, botanical gardens and an open-air market.

Today there are about 80,000 Seychellois, the majority of whom live on Mahé; the rest are scattered in small communities throughout the archipelago.The people are a fusion of three continents — Africa, Asia and Europe.This has created a unique culture and the use of three languages — Creole, French and English. Mahé is the largest island in the archipelago and the location of the capital,Victoria. Ringed by steep, magnificent mountains, few capitals can claim a more beautiful backdrop.The town features a mixture of modern and indigenous architecture; it is the center of business and commerce thanks to the extensive port facilities. Noteworthy sites in Victoria are the museum, cathedral, government house, clock tower, botanical gardens and an open-air market.

Day 72 - La Digue

Arrive: Fri 18 March 2022 at 07:00 / Depart: Fri 18 March 2022 at 12:00

This small island, no more than four square miles in size, is Praslin's beautiful neighbor and presents a picture of peaceful seclusion. Apart from a few minivans, the only other means of transport here are ox carts or bicycles. The island has two centers, La Passe where you come ashore via the ship's tender and, just half a mile to the south, La Réunion. Both are on the island's west coast and neither has more than a handful of dwellings, a few shops, bicycle and oxcart rentals. A perfect place to explore on one's own, some of the beaches near La Passe are within easy walking distance. To venture further you may want to hire an oxcart or a bicycle. There is good diving practically anywhere in the waters around La Digue, as well as excellent snorkeling at Anse Patates and Anse La Réunion. Protected on all but its southeast shores by a magnificent encircling coral reef, La Digue retains all the fascination of an untouched world. The road leading south from La Passe takes you past the charming La Digue Island Lodge and continues to L'Union Estate. The grounds feature a copra factory and an impressive tumble of granite rocks, at the foot of which live several giant tortoises. (There is a fee to enter L'Union Estate.) Further along the beach at Source d'Argent, a dirt path winds around heaps of giant granite boulders which present a popular subject for photo buffs.

Day 72 - Praslin Islands

Arrive: Fri 18 March 2022 at 13:00 / Depart: Fri 18 March 2022 at 17:00

This tropical Eden covers 14.5 square miles and lies a mere 28 miles from the island of Mahé. In addition to glorious beaches and fantastic marine life, Praslin is best known for the Vallée de Mai World Heritage Site where the botanical rarity, the coco de mer, grows wild. In fact, this incredible palm forest earned the island its original name of "Isle de Palme," accorded by the French navigator Lazare Picault who had to carve his way through the tangled undergrowth of the inland hills. In 1768 Marion Dufresne led an expedition to the island and renamed it Praslin. He placed a Deed of Possession in a bottle which he buried in the sands of the northern coast. In the early 1800s the total population of the island amounted to ten families. Nothing noteworthy happened through most of the century, except for the arrival of General Charles Gordon in 1881. The hero of Khartoum thought he had found the biblical Garden of Eden and pronounced that the coco de mer was the biblical tree of knowledge

The most cosmopolitan city in Saudi Arabia, Jeddah (Jiddah) is the “gem” of the Red Sea, and second in size only to the capital city of Riyadh. Located mid-way along the coast of the Kingdom, Jeddah it is the busiest of all the Kingdom's ports. In addition to being the country's principle port, Jeddah is the main point of entry into Saudi Arabia for the hundreds of thousands of Muslim pilgrims on their way to the Holy Cities of Makkah (Mecca) and Madinah. Saudi Arabia is known as the birthplace of Muhammed and contains the holiest cities of Islam. Jeddah is, surprisingly, named in honor of the biblical Eve. “Jadda” means “grandmother” in the context of Eve, who according to legend is buried near the historical old city. The Old City of Jeddah, known as Al-Balad, with its serpentine alleys, is marked with the centuries old multi-storied buildings. The lower portions of the walls tend to be made from cut stone bricks, while the upper sections are constructed from mud bricks with latticed wooden poles. The heart of Old Jeddah is its markets. In its centre is the 700 year old flag mast and 15th century cannon, which dominate the King Abdul Aziz Historical Square.

The port city of Safaga is located on the western flank of the Red Sea, across from the shores of Saudi Arabia. The dusty streets are for the most part quiet, save for the occasional truck or bus. Diving enthusiasts come to the few resort hotels located north of Safaga to enjoy one of the world's best and relatively unspoiled locations for underwater exploration. Their number is steadily increasing. As a result, Safaga's facilities are gradually improving. For cruise vessels calling here, Safaga serves as the gateway to Luxor, which ranks among the most important destinations in Egypt, topping the list of must-see attractions. Guests who are not planning to take the excursion to Luxor will find very limited activities in Safaga itself, except for souvenir shopping at some tourist villages and diving and snorkeling tours at resort hotels. A half day trip to the resort of Hurghada is also an option.

Day 83 - Aqaba

Arrive: Tue 29 March 2022 at 13:00

Jordan is one of the most fascinating destinations in the Middle East, offering attractions that are manifold and unequalled. The country is not blessed with rich oil supplies; its treasures lie in the beauty of the land and a unique combination of antiquities, natural environment and traditions. The rose-red City of Petra and the captivating desert of Wadi Rum draw scores of visitors to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan each year. Aqaba is Jordan's only port and of tremendous importance to the country's economy. Countless trucks ply the route between Aqaba and the capital Amman, a journey of some 220 miles. With stark mountains rising in the background, Aqaba enjoys an attractive setting. For cruise vessels, the port provides the gateway for excursions to famed Petra, the spectacular desert and mountain region of Wadi Rum and spots at the Dead Sea. Aqaba itself offers a string of shops, hotels and restaurants. Some recent archaeological discoveries in the center of town are thought to be the remains of the oldest church in the world, dating from the late 3rd century. Aqaba is also popular with diving enthusiasts who appreciate the great variety of marine life that abounds in the waters of the Red Sea. Petra, the area's major attraction, lies 70 miles from the port. The remains of this once magnificent city date to the 3rd century BC when Nabataeans carved elaborate buildings out of solid rock. Abandoned and forgotten for centuries, the rose-red City of Petra was rediscovered in the 1800s. Excavations did not get underway until a hundred years later; the central section was unearthed after 1958. Today the site is recognized as one of the most spectacular attractions in the Middle East - a must-see for any visitor to this area.

Ashdod is one of Israel's largest ports, and, like every other square inch of this remarkable nation, a living museum of ancient history. Freighters stream in and out of the harbor close to the spot where the whale disgorged Jonah, and the city hums with giant cranes and cargo ships and the relentless energy of a strategic Mediterranean port. It was one of the five cities of giants, and it was here that the Philistines brought the captured Holy Ark, sacred to the Hebrews. Ashdod's 23-level tel (archaeological dig) lies southeast of the modern city. Among the remains of the 10th century CE Fatimid Fortress, archaeologists discovered an early Arabic document recounting that Byzantine ships once brought Muslim prisoners to Ashdod to sell back to their families.

Located only seven miles from the Turkish coast, Rhodes is one of Greece's favored vacation centers. In ancient times, the entrance to its harbor featured a celebrated landmark, the Colossus of Rhodes. The 105-foot statue rose from a 35-foot stone base and was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Rhodes was an important cultural center with a well-known School of Rhetoric attended by such historical figures as Cicero and Caesar. From a school for sculptors came the famous Laocoon group, which is now in the Vatican Museum. Rhodes' most famous attractions originated with the Knights of St. John, who occupied parts of the island from 1308 to 1522. As their legacy they left a medieval town, dominated by the Palace of the Grand Masters and the Knights' Hospital. The Old Town is encircled by one of the best-preserved walls in Europe. In addition to buildings that showcase the legacy of the Knights of St. John, there are plenty of shops and dining opportunities throughout the Old Town.

Day 92 - Bodrum

Arrive: Thu 07 April 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Thu 07 April 2022 at 19:00

Spread out between two crescent bays, Bodrum exudes an "artsy" ambiance. With its gleaming white houses and colorful flower gardens it is one of the prettiest resorts on the South Aegean coast. Recently, it has become very popular with the jet set crowd, while at the same time maintaining an intimate air; there are strict zoning laws preventing over development. Bodrum's main draw are pristine beaches, a busy yachting center and historic sites - a great combination to attract those sailing the Aegean Sea.

Day 93 - Kusadasi

Arrive: Fri 08 April 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 08 April 2022 at 23:00

Since the late 1970s, Kusadasi has grown from a fishing village into a sprawling tourist center, serving thousands of visitors who flock here to visit the nearby ruins of Ephesus. Despite an incredible building boom and an influx of shops, Kusadasi has managed to retain much of its original charm. The major attraction remains the archaeological site of ancient Ephesus, considered to be the most important one in all of Turkey. The history of this ancient city dates as far back as the 10th century BC. Many of the remarkable structures seen today are the result of an extraordinary excavation and restoration program. As you walk along the white marble road, grooved by ancient chariot wheels, the two-story Library of Celsus presents a striking sight. In addition, there are temples, houses of noblemen and community buildings lining the ancient streets. Nestled into the mountainside is the 25,000-seat amphitheater, still used today for performances during the Festival of Culture and Art.

Day 95 - Istanbul

Arrive: Sun 10 April 2022 at 08:00

For many centuries, Istanbul was the capital of the civilized world. Today's fascination with this teeming metropolis derives from its place in history and the monuments that remain from its glorious past. Part of Istanbul's great attraction is its unique position on two continents, divided by the Bosphorus. Most of the population lives on the European side. The Asian sector can be reached via the high-level Bosphorus Bridge, the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge or by ferry. With 12 million inhabitants, Istanbul offers all the excitement of a cosmopolitan city. Its numerous monuments, mosques and museums, plus the famous Grand Bazaar, make it one of the world's great destinations. Although Ankara was appointed the capital in 1922 when Turkey became a republic, Istanbul's dominance in the country's commerce and culture is unchallenged; the city continues to be the heartbeat of the Turkish people.

The island of Mykonos is the most easterly of the northern Cyclades. Its attractive setting and other captivating attributes make it one of the most celebrated holiday destinations in Greece. Mykonos Town is a colorful maze of narrow streets lined by whitewashed houses with bright blue doors and shutters. During the 1960s, it was the Bohemian jet set that discovered Mykonos. Many old houses along the waterfront are now restaurants, bars and discos, catering to an international yachting crowd. The tiny town of cube-shaped houses extends in a semicircle around the picturesque bay. As an attractive backdrop, the famous windmills are lined up like toy soldiers on the hillside, vestiges of a time when wind power was used to grind the island's grain.

The Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Normans, Castilians, the Knights of St. John, the French and the British all left their mark. Controlling the island was a prerequisite to domination of the Mediterranean; Malta's location at the crossroads of Europe made it a center of cultural, social and political activity. The era of the Knights is considered the most glorious in Malta's history. Many relics and buildings bear testimony to the magnificence of this period; most are found in Valletta, the capital of the Maltese Islands, a city "built by gentlemen, for gentlemen."

Day 108 - Lisbon

Arrive: Sat 23 April 2022 at 18:00

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is a city open to the sea and carefully planned with 18th-century elegance. Its founder is said to be the legendary Ulysses, but the theory of an original Phoenician settlement is probably more realistic. Known in Portugal as Lisboa, the city was inhabited by the Romans, Visigoths and, beginning in the 8th century, the Moors. Much of the 16th century was a period of great prosperity and overseas expansion for Portugal. Tragedy struck on All Saints' Day in 1755 with a devastating earthquake that killed about 40,000 people. The destruction of Lisbon shocked the continent. As a result, the Baixa (lower city) emerged in a single phase of building, carried out in less than a decade by the royal minister, the Marques de Pombal. His carefully planned layout of a perfect neo-classical grid survived to this day and remains the heart of the city. Evidence of pre-quake Lisbon can still be seen in the Belém suburb and the old Moorish section of the Alfama that sprawls below the Castle of St. George. Lisbon is a compact city on the banks of the Tagus River. Visitors find it easy to get around as many places of interest are in the vicinity of the central downtown area. There is a convenient bus and tram system and taxis are plentiful. Rossio Square, the heart of Lisbon since medieval times, is an ideal place to start exploring. After a fire destroyed parts of the historic neighborhood behind Rossio in 1988, many of the restored buildings emerged with modern interiors behind the original façades. The city boasts a good many monuments and museums, such as the Jeronimos Monastery, Tower of Belém, the Royal Coach Museum and the Gulbenkian Museum. High above the Baixa is the Bairro Alto (upper city) with its teeming nightlife. The easiest way to connect between the two areas is via the public elevator designed by Gustave Eiffel. Cruising up the Tagus River to the ship's berth, you can already spot three of Lisbon's famous landmarks: the Monument to the Discoveries, the Tower of Belém and the Statue of Christ, which welcomes visitors from its hilltop location high above Europe's longest suspension bridge.

Day 110 - Leixoes

Arrive: Mon 25 April 2022 at 09:00 / Depart: Mon 25 April 2022 at 18:00

Lively, commercial Oporto is the second largest city in Portugal after Lisbon. Also called Porto for short, the word easily brings to mind the city's most famous product - port wine. Oporto’s strategic location on the north bank of the Douro River has accounted for the town’s importance since ancient times. The Romans built a fort here where their trading route crossed the Douro, and the Moors brought their own culture to the area. Oporto profited from provisioning crusaders en route to the Holy Land and enjoyed the riches from Portuguese maritime discoveries during the 15th and 16th centuries.

Day 111 - La Coruna

Arrive: Tue 26 April 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Tue 26 April 2022 at 18:00

La Coruña, the largest city in Spain's Galicia region, is among the country's busiest ports. The remote Galicia area is tucked into the northwest corner of the Iberian Peninsula, surprising visitors with its green and misty countryside that is so much unlike other parts of Spain. The name "Galicia" is Celtic in origin, for it was the Celts who occupied the region around the 6th century BC and erected fortifications. La Coruña was already considered an important port under the Romans. They were followed by an invasion of Suevians, Visigoths and, much later in 730, the Moors. It was after Galicia was incorporated into the Kingdom of Asturias that the epic saga of the Pilgrimage to Santiago (St. James) began. From the 15th century, overseas trade developed rapidly; in 1720, La Coruña was granted the privilege of trading with America - a right previously only held by Cadiz and Seville. This was the great era when adventurous men voyaged to the colonies and returned with vast riches. Today, the city's significant expansion is evident in three distinct quarters: the town center located along the isthmus; the business and commercial center with wide avenues and shopping streets; and the "Ensanche" to the south, occupied by warehouses and factories. Many of the buildings in the old section feature the characteristic glazed façades that have earned La Coruña the name "City of Crystals." Plaza Maria Pita, the beautiful main square, is named after the local heroine who saved the town in 1589 when she seized the English standard from the beacon and gave the alarm, warning her fellow townsmen of the English attack.

Day 112 - Bilbao

Arrive: Wed 27 April 2022 at 12:00 / Depart: Wed 27 April 2022 at 22:00

Bilbao lies seven miles from the sea at the end of the Nervion estuary.This part of the Basque Coast stretches along the massive sweep of the Bay of Biscay, with a coastline interspersed by steep cliffs, creeks and estuaries. Quaint fishing villages nestle in the inlets below green hills. Bilbao was an important port throughout history for the export of wool. Real prosperity was experienced in the 19th century with the advent of local industry. Today, Bilbao is Spain's largest port and the center of a vast industrial area that is of great economic importance not only to the province, but for the whole country. With a population of nearly 400,000, the highest occupancy is on the heavily industrialized left bank of the estuary. Less densely populated is the more upscale residential area on the estuary's right side. The old city, founded in the 14th century, is clustered against the mountain, while the newer part, known as El Ensanche, extends beyond the far side of the Paseo del Arenal. In the 1980s the Basque administration began looking into a redevelopment program for Bilbao, including a new cultural center. In 1997, the city achieved world recognition with the opening of the Guggenheim Museum, designed by the famous architect, Frank O. Gehry.With its towering roof, reminiscent of a metallic flower, the Guggenheim enlivens the riverfront and serves as a spectacular gateway to the city. The ultramodern complex is a collection of interconnected blocks housing galleries, an auditorium, a restaurant and museum store. Exhibits are devoted to American and European art of the 20th century.

Day 113 - Bordeaux

Arrive: Thu 28 April 2022 at 18:00

Situated on the Garonne River, 70 miles inland from the Atlantic, Bordeaux's origin can be traced back to the 3rd century when it was Aquitaine's Roman capital called Burdigala. From 1154 to 1453, the town prospered under the rule of the English, whose fondness for the region's red wines gave impetus to the local wine industry. At various times, Bordeaux even served as the nation's capital: in 1870, at the beginning of World War I, and for two weeks in 1940 before the Vichy government was proclaimed. Bordeaux's neo-classical architecture, wide avenues and well-tended public squares and parks lend the city a certain grandeur. Excellent museums, an imposing cathedral and a much-praised theater add to the city's attractions. The principal highlights, clustered around the town center, can easily be explored on foot. Surrounding Bordeaux are the world-renowned vineyards and wine châteaux. Visitors from all over the globe come here to learn about the wine-making process - from growing the grapes to the harvesting, fermentation and bottling of top-quality wines. The city's single most important economic activity is centered around the marketing and exporting of the region's prestigious wines. Many travelers come here for the single purpose of visiting the cellars of esteemed châteaux and sampling the product. However, one has to keep in mind, that the title "château" can mean anything from a palatial residence to a basic winery. There are thousands of wine châteaux scattered through the countryside, ranging from very modest family establishments to celebrated properties – but all are dedicated to producing the area's renowned wines. During our call at Bordeaux, you will find plenty of activities in and outside the city - in fact, too many to accomplish all with just one visit.

From 1154 to 1453, the town prospered under the rule of the English, whose fondness for the region's red wines gave impetus to the local wine industry. At various times, Bordeaux even served as the nation's capital: in 1870, at the beginning of World War I, and for two weeks in 1940 before the Vichy government was proclaimed. Bordeaux's neo-classical architecture, wide avenues and well-tended public squares and parks lend the city a certain grandeur. Excellent museums, an imposing cathedral and a much-praised theater add to the city's attractions. The principal highlights, clustered around the town center, can easily be explored on foot. Surrounding Bordeaux are the world-renowned vineyards and wine châteaux. Visitors from all over the globe come here to learn about the wine-making process - from growing the grapes to the harvesting, fermentation and bottling of top-quality wines. The city's single most important economic activity is centered around the marketing and exporting of the region's prestigious wines. Many travelers come here for the single purpose of visiting the cellars of esteemed châteaux and sampling the product. However, one has to keep in mind, that the title "château" can mean anything from a palatial residence to a basic winery. There are thousands of wine châteaux scattered through the countryside, ranging from very modest family establishments to celebrated properties – but all are dedicated to producing the area's renowned wines. During our call at Bordeaux, you will find plenty of activities in and outside the city - in fact, too many to accomplish all with just one visit.

Day 118 - Southampton

Arrive: Tue 03 May 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Tue 03 May 2022 at 19:00

Standing on a triangular peninsula formed at the place where the rivers Itchen and Test flow into an eight-mile inlet from the Solent, Southampton has figured in numerous stirring events and for centuries has been of strategic maritime importance. It was from here that the Pilgrim Fathers departed for America in the tiny Mayflower in 1620 and many great ocean liners, such as the Queen Mary and the Titanic have followed since. The image of the thousand-year-old city was greatly blemished by the bombing during World War II and postwar planning caused changes almost beyond recognition.

Day 119 - Falmouth

Arrive: Wed 04 May 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Wed 04 May 2022 at 18:00

Falmouth is located on the colorful Cornish coastline in England's southwest corner and is best known for its romantic past of pirates and smugglers. The town boasts a superb natural deepwater harbor - the third largest in the world – and is a bustling commercial port which is strongly influenced by its maritime history. There is a wide range of amenities for the visitor including maritime attractions, beautiful sheltered beaches, quality restaurants, pubs, cafes and shops. Falmouth's linear sequence of main streets runs one block behind a matching sequence of waterfront quays and piers that border the great sweep of the estuary. Narrow alleyways link the bustling world of shops, cafes and fine restaurants with the equally busy waterfront, where small craft of all kinds come and go. Falmouth features a fine series of sheltered, sun trap beaches along the southern shores of Pendennis Point. The Gyllyngdune ornamental gardens and the popular Princess Pavilion Theatre are both well worth a visit.

The Hebrides, or Western Isles, are a group of more than 500 islands off Scotland's west coast in the Atlantic Ocean of which about one hundred are inhabited. They are divided into the Inner and Outer Hebrides. The Inner Hebrides are comprised of Skye, Mull, Islay, and Jura. The Outer Hebrides include Lewis and Harris, North and South Uist, Benbecula, Barra, Saint Kilda, and the Flannan Islands. The archipelago covers an area of 4,500 square miles (7,200 sq km). Most of its islands are covered by sparse vegetation and boast a fairly mild climate. Tourism, sheep and cattle raising, and the manufacture of textiles are the principal sources of income. The most famous export item is no doubt the excellent Harris tweed.

Day 124 - At Sea

Day 125 - Reykjavik

Arrive: Tue 10 May 2022 at 12:00

The fire, frost and water symbolized by the red, white and blue of Iceland's flag are manifested by the ice and snow of its glaciers, the hot mud pools, geysers and glowing lava flows in the country's volcanic regions. The island's settlement dates back to 874 when a Norwegian named Ingolf Arnarson arrived at present-day Reykjavik. In 930, the settlers formed a legislature, the Alting, which was the beginning of the Commonwealth of Iceland. From the 10th to the 14th centuries, Iceland developed a literary form, the Icelandic Saga, which spread throughout the Nordic culture and into the English and German languages. It was used to spin stories of the gods, record historic events and glorify heroes. As Iceland's capital and main center of the country's population, the city of Reykjavik is a fascinating blend of the traditional and modernism. Just as Iceland is a unique country – rugged and remote, yet technically advanced and enjoying Nordic standards of affluence – Reykjavik is a highly unusual capital city. It dominates the life of Iceland in almost every way. More than half of the country's total population of 270,000 is living in and around the capital, and the economy of the entire nation depends on Reykjavik. Nearly 60 percent of Iceland's imports are received and distributed, and 40 percent of the country's exports are loaded for shipment via the port of Reykjavik. It is also the headquarters of what is probably the world's most advanced seafood industry, which counts for Iceland's number one export.

Day 127 - Isafjordur

Arrive: Thu 12 May 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Thu 12 May 2022 at 18:00

The town of Ísafjördur is the municipal centre of the West Fjords peninsula. The West Fjords are Iceland's least populated region, with 9,600 inhabitants in the area of nearly 6,000 square miles (9,520 sq km). Ísafjörður, with a present population of approximately 3,500, was formerly one of Iceland's main trading posts and as such, was granted municipal status in 1886. Some of Iceland's oldest and best-preserved buildings, dating from the 18th century, are located in Ísafjördur. The town is still predominantly a fishing centre. A vigorous and varied cultural and artistic scene flourishes as well. Mountains surround Ísafjördur on the three sides and the sea on the other. The ancient settlement site of Eyri downtown is enclosed by the narrow Skutulsfjordur fjord, which shelters the harbour in all weathers.

Day 128 - Akureyri

Arrive: Fri 13 May 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 13 May 2022 at 17:00

Akureyri is the largest city in Northern Iceland with 16,000 inhabitants. Its location is at the southern end of the 30-mile-long Eyjafjordur, some 60 miles south of the Arctic Circle. A long valley extends southwards from the fjord. This is one of the most fertile agricultural areas of Iceland with many large farms. High mountains on each side of the fjord and valley offer protection from harsh winds. Akureyri became a trading center around 1600. It received a municipal charter in 1862; the population started to grow from that time. The center of town is compact enough to be explored on foot. Here you will find shops, restaurants and even an Internet Café. The main church in Akureyri stands on the hill above the city center. A climb of 112 steps is required to reach the church. The interior is well worth a visit. It features a boat hanging from the ceiling to remind worshippers of their loved ones out at sea. Also of note is a window that was originally in the Coventry Cathedral in England. In the beautiful Botanical Garden you will find plants from as far away as New Zealand, Chile, Tanzania and California, as well as every species native to Iceland. The gardens first opened in 1912. Despite being only 60 miles from the Arctic Circle, Akureyri enjoys some of the warmest weather in the country, with temperatures often reaching the low 70s in summer.

Day 129 - Seydhisfjordur

Arrive: Sat 14 May 2022 at 09:00 / Depart: Sat 14 May 2022 at 17:00

Seydisfjordur,, a beautiful 19th-century Norwegian village on the east coast of Iceland, is regarded by many as one of Iceland's most picturesque towns, not only due to its impressive environment, but also because nowhere in Iceland has a community of old wooden buildings been preserved so well as here. Poet Matthías Johannessen called Seydisfjordur a 'pearl enclosed in a shell'.

Day 130 - At Sea

Day 131 - Bergen, Norway

Arrive: Mon 16 May 2022 at 09:00 / Depart: Mon 16 May 2022 at 19:00

With its spectacular setting among seven hills, Bergen is one of the most beautiful cities in Norway. Founded in 1070 AD by the illustrious King Olav Kyrre, it became the first capital of Norway during the 13th century. The city became an important shipping and commercial centre; it was the headquarters for the Hanseatic League, an association of merchants in Northern Europe until the 17th century. Although the city periodically has been ravaged by fire, many fine examples of medieval architecture can still be found. Bergen's association with the sea has given the city its lifeblood. The fishing industry and trade has provided the economic backbone for the region for centuries. Other important sources of income are tourism, industry, craftsmanship, oil and gas. Bergen is also an important university city.

Day 132 - Stavanger, Norway

Arrive: Tue 17 May 2022 at 08:00 / Depart: Tue 17 May 2022 at 14:00

Located on the west coast of southern Norway and, with a population of 100,000 the country's fourth largest city, Stavanger is something of a survivor. While other Norwegian coastal towns have experienced serious decline because of the precarious fortunes of fishing, Stavanger has over the years grown into one of the country's most dynamic economic power bases, thanks to the creation of a merchant fleet, fish canning, shipbuilding and, more recently, the oil industry. With more than 3,000 foreign oil business people residing here who have made English virtually the first language, Stavanger is often referred to as the “Oil Capital of Norway.” To support the offshore oilfields, the port serves refineries and is also involved in the construction of oil rigs. Today's Stavanger is a charming blend of fishing village and modern city, sprinkled with parks, gardens and lakes. The elegant old town with its 12th century cathedral deserves a closer look, and the Canning and Maritime Museums are well worth a visit. Along the length of the harbor, on Torget, is a small daily market with colorful stands of flowers, fruit and vegetables. Teeming water tanks on the quayside hold a variety of fresh fish. The area around the eastern side of the harbor makes up the town's shopping district, a bright mix of spidery lanes, pedestrian streets and white-timbered houses that occupy the site of the original settlement of medieval Stavanger. Outside of town, one can take a trip to the top of Pulpit Rock and other fine lookout points to enjoy the magnificent view. In addition, a worthwhile trip can be made to Utstein Kloster, which was founded in the 13th century and is Norway's oldest and best preserved abbey.

Day 133 - Oslo

Arrive: Wed 18 May 2022 at 13:00

The capital of Norway since 1299, Oslo is the nation's largest city. Located on an island-studded fjord, with its forest-clad hills and lakes in the hinterland, Oslo provides recreational opportunities that few capital cities can match. According to historians, the city was founded in 1050 by Harold III. In later years, Hakon V declared Oslo the capital of Norway and built Akershus Castle. As the country's capital, Oslo is the royal residence, seat of government, Supreme Court, and also the site of Norway's oldest university. Through its 950-year history, the city suffered many fires, including an especially devastating one in 1624. As a result, Oslo presents a mixture of several architectural styles. Visitors will find a full range of activities among the numerous galleries, museums, restaurants, nightclubs and theaters. With a fairly compact city center, many of Oslo's attractions can be reached on foot; ferryboats departing from the harbor can easily reach the Bygdøy peninsula.
