Ancient and modern worlds meet in this epic 27-night journey between the historic cities of Lisbon, Istanbul and Venice. From Lisbon's cobbled alleyways and white-domed cathedrals, we head south to Cadiz and Malaga to absorb the energy and culture of Andalusia, exploring its white villages and watching passionate flamenco performances. Continuing eastwards, Malta’s honey-colored capital Valletta offers 320 historic monuments to explore, including St. John's Cathedral with its Caravaggio masterpieces. Island-hopping the Greek islands of Crete and Rhodes with their classical archaeology, the journey takes us to Istanbul, steeped in Ottoman history, on the edge of Europe and Asia. Next come the Greek islands of stylish Mykonos and Santorini, decorated in a dazzling blue-and-white palette and offering fabled sunsets. As we sail north, the Aegean Sea gives way to the Adriatic and the chance to be immersed in Dubrovnik’s Baroque grandeur before disembarking in Italy’s most romantic destination, Venice.
