Jeddah to Athens (Piraeus)
Explore some of the world's most ancient and exotic corners, sailing the trade winds just as adventurers did during the Age of Discovery. Embark Crystal Serenity in Jeddah, the supposed resting place of Eve, then settle into a sea day while we head north along Saudi Arabia's coast to Aqaba in Jordan, gateway to Petra. Spend a full day immersed in the secrets and surprises of this astonishing pink city, lost to the world until 1812. Our next call is Safaga, the Red Sea port perfect for discovering Egypt's kaleidoscopic underwater life and gateway to Luxor, home to the artistry and grandeur of Ancient Egypt's most awe-inspiring monuments. Experience the thrilling Suez Canal transit before Alexandria, another Egyptian destination that heaves with history and home of one of the original Seven Wonders of the World. End the cruise by crossing the Mediterranean to Athens.
