Imagine visiting some of the most important ancient and medieval destinations of the Mediterranean. Imagine cruising on a sea whose color is impossible to find naturally anywhere else on earth. The 7 nights you will spend exploring the Aegean Sea on board the Celestyal Crystal will provide you with a lifetime of memories of a land steeped in history and culture. The Eurasian charm of Istanbul, the ruins of the ancient city of Ephesus, and the Palace of Knossos just north of Heraklion in Crete will provide you with enjoyable lessons in history and architecture. The fun of the Greek islands also beckons in the form of the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos, the stunning cliff-top villages of Santorini and the beautiful medieval fortress in Rhodes town. This cruise is best suited to travelers interested in visiting many destinations in a short period of time. Though you will not be spending much time in each destination, this cruise will provide you with an excellent sample of a culture that would merit a longer visit in the future.
