Voyages of Antquity

Take the cruise of a lifetime!

CRUISE THE ANCIENT WORLDBetween 200 BC and 200AD, the Romans were the masters of the Mediterranean. Their commercial vessels sailed to every corner of the region and their armies occupied all the surrounding coastlands.




The waters these ancient mariners sailed are the home of Voyages to Antiquity. Our cruises combine the excitement of exploring the remarkable classical civilizations of the Mediterranean with the comfort and service of boutique-style cruising.



Our 2011 cruise calendar adds new historical destinations to the list of your favorite voyages. We have also re-designed the itineraries to include pre or post-cruise hotel stays in fabulous cities around the Mediterranean.



From the ruins of Palmyra in Syria to the splendor of Norman Sicily, our cruises have been meticulously planned to reveal the wealth of natural beauty and classical history that the Mediterranean has to offer.
