Trip overview
From the sacred island of Delos to the iconic landscapes of Santorini and the historic streets of Istanbul, each destination unfolds like a chapter from the epic tales of antiquity. You'll traverse through the timeless wonders of Mykonos, Rhodes, Kuşadasi and Çanakkale, where echoes of the past resonate in every cobblestone street and archaeological site. Your luxury cruise ship, the exquisite Le Bougainville, will be a floating sanctuary of sophistication and comfort as you explore, promising relaxation and an immersive cultural experience.
Bask in seven nights deluxe accommodations during an exclusive Orbridge cruise on board Le Bougainville — an ultra-modern, environmentally friendly luxury ship.
