Europe and the Mediterranean
It's the ancient land of legends and kings, where empires were built and destroyed. Dreams
and ideas came to fruition here, on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and in the grand halls of St.
Petersburg. Today, the call of Europe is stronger than ever, with its brilliant mosaic of bygone
eras and modern-day wonders.
Stand at the base of the temple of Poseidon and it's as if you were at the threshold of modern civilization. But look
beyond the hilltops of Athens, to the intricate canals of Venice or the Gothic cathedrals of Spain; gaze northward
to the shores of Normandy or the cliffs of Edinburgh; reach for the great Viking waters of Norway or the virgin
tundra of North Cape. Only then will you begin to comprehend the scope and history of this most wondrous
continent.
The romance of the Mediterranean and Greek Isles is truly special, if not magical. It's an area of the
world where life moves at a slower pace, perhaps, to indulge the natural beauty that much more. This
season, we add the alluring sights of Alexandria, Cairo and the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt to our
roster of destinations, which includes, among others, Barcelona, Athens, Mykonos and Monte Carlo.
