Good things come in small packages
Small things make a big difference, especially when you’re on board a ship. And cruising the seas is a breeze when you strike the right combination of size, comfort and know-how.
Voyages to Antiquity’s ship Aegean Odyssey is small in size but large at heart. The delightfully charming ship provides an intimate cruising experience, incorporating uniquely-crafted itineraries that highlight new discoveries, past masters and hidden gems of Europe. You also have the opportunity to immerse yourself in culturally-rich regions, while embracing all the rest and relaxation you desire.
The Aegean Odyssey is a welcome difference from the larger mega liners on offer. As well as a more personalised experience, the ship’s size means she can navigate the inland waterways, like Spain’s Guadalquivir River, and she’s able to get closer into port at many destinations. By unlocking a unique combination of ocean and river cruising, Voyages to Antiquity has mastered the best of both worlds. You’ll spend longer in each destination and in many cases, you’ll spend the night in port – ultimately there are less days at sea and more time for you to enjoy the wonders of the city before you.
Voyages to Antiquity not only offers a classically elegant holiday but is also dedicated to enriching your mind. Carefully selected first class guest speakers, from historians to archaeologists, convey their knowledge of the history of these remarkable destinations and bringing their cultures to life with daily lectures on board.
Cruise fares are exceptional value for money with inclusions such as shore excursions, 4 or 5-star hotel stays, airport transfers, onboard gratuities, wine, beer and soft drinks with evening meals – meaning there’s not much left to pay for once you’re on board. If you’re travelling on your own, you can rest assured that Voyages to Antiquity will provide you with a replenishing and fulfilling experience. There are low single-supplements, dedicated single cabins and an engaging atmosphere to appeal to even the most discerning traveller.
The 2019 Mediterranean cruising calendar is available now and for the first time ever, Aegean Odyssey will be sailing the Baltic, revealing the cultural treasures of St Petersburg and Scandinavian capitals. Also making its debut in the Voyages to Antiquity calendar is the North Cape of Norway on the legendary 'Land of the Midnight Sun' voyage, where you'll experience nature at its wildest and most spectacular. In addition to the classic Mediterranean cruises, Aegean Odyssey will be returning to the Black Sea. Grand Voyages, which combine two or more of the single sailings, offers airfares included complimentary from New Zealand to Europe.
This is but a small taste of the delights small-ship cruising offers. You can approach any cruise confident in the knowledge the journey will be one that provides the personal touch while offering a world of glorious opportunity.
