Travel back in time on Arcadia on this 20-night cruise visiting ancient wonders and historical hotspots. With an itinerary that includes Olympia, Alexandria, Athens and Cairo, the spectacular sights start the moment you sail into the heart of historic Cadiz.

Enjoy a few days at sea before arriving at the small Greek port of Katakolon - your starting block for the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Then it’s on to Piraeus to explore Athens’ Acropolis, the Agora and lively Plaka. From Rhodes, the largest inhabited medieval town in the whole of Europe, you’ll head for ancient Alexandria, the site of the famous Pompey’s Pillar. Port Said, at the head of the Suez Canal, is the key gateway for Cairo and the Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza.

Cartagena was founded 2, 200 years ago and its rich history is evident as you sail towards its harbour flanked by towering fortresses. Finally you’ll call at Oporto, with its Roman ramparts and Parisian-style squares; the perfect place to toast your trip with a glass of its port wine namesake.

We are delighted to offer members of The Peninsular Club an additional 5% saving on this cruise.
