Cruise Description |
With a departure from Athens, PONANT invites you to discover archaeological and historical sites – most of them UNESCO World Heritage sites – on a 11-day cruise to Greece, Italy, Tunisia, Algeria and Spain. You will be captivated by an unforgettable voyage aboard Le Dumont-d’Urville in the Mediterranean.
Throughout your journey, you will benefit from an excursion included per person per port of call, to choose from a selection offered by PONANT. During this cruise, visit the National Museum of Magna Graecia in Reggio Calabria, discover the ruins of Hippo Regius in Annaba, or explore the history-laden streets of the Casbah, the jewel of Algiers ’s heritage. The diversity of experiences on offer promises you intense and varied moments.
Departing from the Greek capital, Athens, you will arrive in the small port of Itea from where it is possible to visit the mythical site of Delphi or even the Hosios Loukas monastery, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. You will then set a course for Italian shores. During a stop in Reggio Calabria, stroll along the lungomare against the imposing backdrop of Mount Etna. Soon, the contours of bewitching and captivating Sicily will appear. Fall under the spell of its capital, Palermo, where you will be able to visit emblematic sites such as the 12th-century cathedral and the Teatro Massimo, one of the largest in Europe.
Le Dumont-d’Urville resumes its journey to head for the Tunisian shores and capital, Tunis. Rome’s great rival, Ancient Carthage, is yours to discover as you visit its ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your journey then continues along the coast of nearby Algeria to Annaba, where you visit the archaeological site of Hippo, one of Roman Africa’s main cities.
You will set sail again, heading for “Algiers the White”. The capital of Africa’s largest country, radiant and vibrant, will reveal its centuries of history. In Tipasa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the wisteria-scented ruins mingle with the sun and the sea, summoning up the Nuptials essays by Albert Camus.
Then the Roman ruins and sumptuous scenery of Cartagena will welcome you before you head for Melilla. This town, an autonomous Spanish enclave, will reveal its rich architectural heritage, between military citadel and Catalan modernism.
The last port of call, Málaga, the lively capital of the Costa del Sol, concludes this journey in the heart of the Big Blue. |
