The Eastern Mediterranean awaits you for a cruise to the roots of our civilisation, against the backdrop of nature with dazzling beauty.

A meeting point of three continents and countless peoples, the Eastern Mediterranean has been one of humanity’s most important historical crossroads. Among its shores developed the Hellenistic civilization, from which Western culture was born. Its islands and coves have been the scene of crucial events, but also ideal scenario for the birth of myths and legends.

Where to start? To visit everything, our cruise could last years, like the trip of Ulysses.
