Take a 15-Day Ancient Empires and Holy Land cruise aboard the Seaborn Quest. Starting in Monte Carlo, explore the tiny enclave of 370 acres, which surrounds a harbor that draws yachts from all over the world. From Monte Carlo, travel to Livorno, Italy, the gateway to the region of Tuscany. Make a stop in Civitavecchia (Rome), the gateway to the Eternal City, Rome, where the Renaissance fortifications surround the harbor. Cruise down to the Bay of Naples, Sorrento, where, in Greek mythology, Sirens were said to live here. Next stop is Messina, situated on the northeast point of Sicily. Explore the ancient seaport or venture south to the hillside town of Taormina. After a few days at sea, sail to Alexandria (Cairo), Egypt, the city in which Alexander the Great founded, and then journey to the largest port in Israel. Ashdod is a gateway to Jerusalem, and the 5,000-year-old walled city is considered sacred to many. After exploring Israel, travel to Rhodes, the best known of the Dodecanese Islands. Make your way to the “bird island” otherwise known as Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey, and end your 15-day journey in Greece, in Patmos and then Piraeus (Athens), Greece. The harbor is filled with ferries and cruise ships, and the busy metropolis of Athens lies a few miles from the port.

Stop in the Flemish province of West Flanders, the city of Oostende, the largest population center on the Belgian coast. Immerse yourself in its rich history and fine-sand beaches.
