Choosing a holiday is a big decision. Before booking your cruise aboard Aegean Odyssey you will want to know the philosophy behind Voyages to Antiquity.

We have created a cruise experience that is not only for the amateur or professional historian but also for people who simply want to understand the history, art, myths and architecture of the ancient world.

Voyages to Antiquity Ocean History Cruises

A Voyage to Antiquity cruise aims to open a window into the origins and genius of western civilisation. These journeys, however, are not only about history. As well as seeing breathtaking archaeological treasures you will also see some of the most beautiful scenery in the world and experience the magnificent food and wine of the Mediterranean.

All voyages have been meticulously planned by the Voyages to Antiquity staff in conjunction with Lord Norwich and other noted historians. Plus, with frequent nighttime stays in port, there's the opportunity to enjoy an after-dinne stroll ashore.

Shore excursions are included in all major ports where suitable. In certain places additional visits will be available at a supplementary cost.

Our sightseeing itineraries are outstanding, but are often strenuous. A reasonable level of fitness is required. Of course, there are times throughout the voyage where some passengers may decide to take a break on certain days. Our shore excursion brochure, website section and onboard Daily Journal will indicate the level of walking required on any given day.
