27-Night Ancient Mysteries, Kingdoms, & Holy Land Itinerary

History buffs should experience the 27-night Ancient Mysteries, Kingdoms, & Holy Lands itinerary (Sept. 17–Oct. 15, 2023) for themselves. The cruise, which sails from Rome to Athens aboard Nieuw Statendam, offers a deep dive into the history and culture of the Mediterranean: It combines major cities (Istanbul, Cairo, and Tel Aviv), ancient ruins (Ephesus, Olympia, and Knossos), and storied islands (Mykonos, Santorini, Rhodes, and Cyprus).
