 Imagine
visiting 4 glorious countries and only unpacking once on a deluxe new ship!
Costa Cruiseline loves groups and AFS loves them. Their new mega-liner
“Costa Serena” is a masterpiece of engineering and elegance with state of the art
spa’s and gourmet cuisine.
We begin with 2 days in romantic Venice which
floats dreamlike. Ride gondolas and tour the famous sites. Our ports include:
Bari Italy with its cathedrals and castles, ancient Olympia or
Katakolon Greece with its awesome temple ruins and Izmir Turkey,
“Pearl of the Aegean” nestled in the mountains. Visit amazing Ephesus
where Paul once preached to 250,000 Ephesians. Then sail to magnificent
Istanbul Turkey that sits on two continents. See the Grand Bazaar, Blue
Mosque and Hagia Sophia. After a day of being pampered at sea, we sail on
to
Dubrovnik Croatia with its breathtaking views of the Adriatic Riviera. It’s
an enriching and magical odyssey. Come discover the cradle of civilization.

I prefer to tour ports independently, but many shore
excursions are available with a wide variety of tour choices.
