Black Sea Discovery

Byzantine treasures, the legacy of Emperor Justinian, stories of Ottoman sultans and the sacking of the city by the Crusaders all contribute to Istanbul’s irresistible appeal. a perfect prologue to this cruise that goes search of other cities less well known. Around the Black Sea, vines and spa towns thrive a sub-tropical sun.

Among the highlights visits to places that have changed the course of history; you’ll explore Yalta, the Crimean Peninsula and make a passage along the Dardanelles to Turkish shores with a chance visit the great archaeological treasures of ancient Ephesus.
