In the morning, join us for an excursion to Galilee. Famous for its luscious landscapes dotted with rolling hills and valleys, its small picturesque cities, and its historic sites, Galilee is the best-kept secret in Israel. This afternoon, we’ll set off on an optional visit to Acre (Saint John of Acre), headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller during the Crusades in the Holy Land. The old city of Acre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to many remarkable vestiges, such as ruins from the Greco-Roman period as well as from the time of the Crusades and the Ottoman Empire. Its fascinating historical heritage, where East meets West, and the unique ruins of different cultures make it one of the most important cities of the ancient world.

12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 4: Ashdod(1)

Join us for a full-day excursion to Jerusalem (lunch included; approx. 10 hours total, incl. 4 hours round trip). Jerusalem is one of the holiest and most fascinating cities in the world. The old city contains over 200 historic sites, including the Wailing Wall and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which encompasses the hill where Jesus was crucified and his tomb. During this tour, we will discover the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, Mount Zion, as well as the colorful market where the three main religions—Christianity, Judaism, and Islam—live side by side. Our ship will cruise through the night.

Day 6 Day 6: Alexandria
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 6: Alexandria

Alexandria was founded in 331 BC by Alexander the Great. At its greatest, it rivaled Rome and was home to one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Lighthouse of Alexandria. This morning, we’ll visit the Alexandria National Museum, a great place to learn about the city’s diverse past. The museum collection includes artifacts from the pharaohs, the Greco-Roman era, and the Byzantine, Islamic, and modern periods. Our next stop will be the Roman amphitheater, the only one of its kind in Egypt. Uncovered by accident in 1960, the structure dates back to the 2nd century AD. The semi-circular, open-air theater had a capacity of 600 spectators, with an audience section of 13 white-marble rows and red granite columns imported from the city of Aswan. In the afternoon, we’ll have a guided tour of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Montazah Palace Gardens. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina commemorates the Great Library of Alexandria and aims to be a center of cultural and scientific excellence in the Mediterranean Region. We’ll then visit the loveliest green space in the city: The Montazah Palace Gardens. The lush gardens are a great place to take a stroll and admire the 19th-century palace and grounds.

Day 8: Port Said - Suez Canal - Suez

Our ship will cast off to cross the Suez Canal. Measuring 20 miles long (193 km ) land only 673 feet wide (205 m), this canal allows for the strategic passage from the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea without having to make the long journey around the southern tip of Africa. These incredible structures were achieved between 1859 and 1869 under the guidance of Ferdinand de Lesseps—well after Darius, the Persian conqueror of Egypt, had completed an initial version of the canal. We’ll arrive in Suez mid-morning. Tonight’s festivities will have an Egyptian flair!
Day 9 Day 9: Suez - Cairo
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 9: Suez - Cairo

You will disembark from the ship and be transferred to Cairo. We’ll have lunch in a local restaurant. Join us for a tour this afternoon by walking in the footsteps of the Pharaohs. The Giza pyramid complex is home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: The “Great Pyramid of Giza.” At its sides sit the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, as well as the Great Sphinx of Giza. We’ll continue on the royal necropolis of Dahshur, which contains some of the oldest and best-preserved pyramids in the country. The Bent, Red, and Black Pyramids all vary in design and demonstrate how the grand scope of pyramid building changed throughout the ages. Our next stop will be Saqqara, a huge area that served as the burial ground for Egypt’s ancient capital, Memphis. This archaeological site contains several royal tombs, including well-known monuments such as the Step Pyramid in Zoser’s funerary complex. We’ll return to Cairo and check into a 5-star hotel. After dinner, enjoy a free evening to do as you please.
