Explore the Beauty of the Black Sea.
More than a body of water, the Black Sea is a keeper of many secrets. Some believe it’s the site of the lost city of Atlantis; others suggest it’s the location of Noah’s Biblical flood.
Our voyage begins in Athens, Europe’s oldest city and home to endless ancient wonders. Then it’s off on a journey through the ages to the recovered Greco-Roman city of Ephesus.
After some epic exploration, pamper yourself with a spa day aboard your boutique hotel at sea as we cruise the Bosphorus Strait, an ancient waterway that carries adventurers from the Sea of Marmara to the Black Sea. Upon arrival, we’ll visit the cosmopolitan resort town of Varna, Bulgaria, foodie-friendly Constanta, Romania, and opulent Odessa, Ukraine.
Spend another day cruising, then we arrive in the seaside playground of Sochi, home of vibrant boardwalks and beautiful hiking trails. Then it’s off to the summer holiday paradise of Batumi, Georgia, before an overnight stay in enigmatic Istanbul. Spanning two continents, it’s a true cultural crossroads, and the world’s largest bazaar is the perfect place to feel its thriving heartbeat.
The next day, arrive in Kepez, the gateway to Canakkale, Troy, and Gallipoli before concluding with two more days in Athens—perfect for taking advantage of our immersive land programs.
