It’s a rare gift to be able to touch history - to witness for yourself the evolution
of nations and world religions, to admire art and culture that has been reshaped
over thousands of years - but this once-in-a-life-time cruise package from the
Middle East to the Mediterranean does just that! Tracing the path of human
civilisation itself, this epic 28 day journey highlights the ancient wonders of nine
incredible countries across three continents, and does it all in luxurious style.
The beauty begins in Dubai, the rising star of the Arabian peninsula. Admire
some of the world’s most unique and stunning architecture before setting off on
the ‘Norwegian Jade’ ship for the sapphire waters of Oman. Spot dolphins and
enjoy the fresh sea breezes around the many desert fjords; unwind in comfort
before arriving at Aqaba, Jordan - gateway to the UNESCO world heritage city
of Petra; explore the ancient temples of Luxor in Egypt and shop in the
colourful markets of Haifa in Israel. Sail onwards to experience the ruins of
Cyprus and Rhodes in Greece. See an ancient wonder of the world, the former
Temple of Artemis in Turkey; bask in the sunshine over the glittering
Mediterranean and discover the birthplace of democracy and philosophy in
Athens. Cruise along the Amalfi coast to the stunning seaside town of Naples.
Take time to explore the marble relics of Rome, toss a good-luck coin in Trevi
Fountain, dine on some of the world’s most delicious food, and so much more.

Suez Canal took 11 years to build. Unlike many other canals in the world, the Suez Canal has no locks because the terrain is so flat. The passage from one sea to the other takes only 11 to 16 hours.
