History comes to life on this extraordinary voyage that reflects the heart and soul of the Mediterranean. Uncover cultural and historical treasures as you sail the shores of Greece, Turkey, Italy, and France aboard the new Oceania Cruises Riviera, an elegant vessel replete with breathtaking services and amenities. Beginning in the ancient capital of Athens, sail to the Greek Isle of Santorini, whose whitewashed hilltop towns overlook the sea, and onward to Turkey, where the ancient ruins of Ephesus await. Explore the lovely hill towns of Sicily, walk the romantic shores of Amalfi and Positano, and revel in the rich history and architectural wonders of Rome and Florence. Leaving Italy behind, sail west to colorful Marseille and explore the renowned countryside of Provence before your journey ends in Barcelona, Spain. From the famed Library of Celsus in Ephesus to Amalfi’s 12th-century Capuchin monastery, from Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel in Rome to Florence’s fabled Renaissance architecture, old-world history comes alive on this seafaring adventure.
