What next? Voyages To Antiquity!

Are you looking to try something new? Are you fed up of ice skating rinks, rock climbing walls, grass lawns at sea and other gimmicks on cruise ships? Well why not try Voyages To Antiquity? If you haven't heard of them.........yet, then I would recommend it is time to check them out. Although the brand is relatively new, they specialise in destinations. Although it is true all cruise ships do 'destinations'  most  vessels are all about the ship and what is on board, and tend to do the same popular destinations year on year. With Voyages, the cruises are specifically designed with the destination in mind.Its all about discovering the local history, art and culture of the ancient world! These guys really know how to put on a good show........


In a nutshell the brand combines the comfort of boutique-style cruising with the very best of cultural travel; they offer a unique opportunity to explore the origins and genius of western civilisation. All itineraries are meticulously planned and on board they have celebrated guest speakers who specialise in the local history of the places you have visited. All shore excursions are complimentary and bring to life the fascinating history and awe-inspiring sites of the classical world. This is defiantly a cruise for anyone who is interested in discovering the history of times passed.


Although destinations are obviously the main focus here, this does not mean that the facilities or the whole ship experience has suffered. Voyages to Antiquity have one ship called the Aegean Odyssey. It is classed as a premium class ship that was rebuilt to cater for cruising in the coastal waters of the central and eastern Mediterranean. The vessel provides the best features of a mid-size ship such as passenger space, a choice of restaurants and stability in inclement weather. When VOA brought the vessel it originally had a capacity of up to 570 passengers, after the refit it now carries an average of 350 passengers. This means bigger rooms and more deck space. All drinks are included at dinner and the main entertainment on board comes in the form of lectures or maybe a string quartet.

Each itinerary is completely unique and designed by experts in the field of the destinations you are visiting. All tours are also accompanied by graduates who have expert knowledge of the local area and will give you a detailed history and insight into the culture of times passed. Any questions let me know as these few short paragraphs by no means do the brand justice but, if I pick a ship to sail on tomorrow, this would be it.
