Introducing Voyages to Antiquity

AMNH Expeditions joins with Voyages to Antiquity to bring you educationally-rich, sophisticated—yet casual—cruises, designed to bring to life the exciting and inspiring civilizations of the Mediterranean. From the wonders of Pharaonic Egypt and the classical elegance of ancient Greek architecture to the stunning legacy of the Venetian empire, experience cruises that appeal alike to the amateur historian or people who simply want to understand the history, art, myths and architecture of the ancient world.

These journeys, however, are not only about history. As well as visiting breathtaking archaeological treasures, passengers witness some of the most beautiful scenery in the world and experience the magnificent food and wine of the region.

Our expertly planned itineraries include sightseeing in each port of call, options for additional excursions, and many nightime stays in port so you may explore on your own. Also, optional city stays in Athens, Cairo, Venice and Istanbul are available before or after your cruise. In 2010, to mark the launching of Voyages to Antiquity, each 16-day journey offers an exceptional value, with many features built into the low introductory price. These include all meals on the Aegean Odyssey with complimentary wine, beer, or soft drinks, gratuities to restaurant and cabin crew, and free or low cost airfares and reasonable upgrades from select U.S. cities.
