Sultans, Pharaohs and Empires

Trade the familiar for the extraordinary on an epic three-week expedition from tropical majesty to the cradle of civilization. Leave behind the boulder-laden beaches and giant tortoises of the Seychelles as your intimate yacht charts a course for antiquity. Breathe in the rich aromas of Salalah’s frankincense coast, and then lose yourself in the historic alleys of Jeddah’s Al Balad district, renowned for its coral stone architecture and ornate wooden Roshan balconies. Stand humbled before the monumental temples of Luxor, and venture to the cliff-carved façades of Petra and the sweeping desert of Wadi Rum from Aqaba. Witness the eternal Great Pyramids of Giza on an excursion from Sokhna before transiting the engineering marvel of the Suez Canal to sail into the sun-drenched caldera of Santorini, where whitewashed villages hug the cliffsides. Your odyssey across the ages concludes among the iconic classical monuments of Athens.
