About This Cruise
The 10 Night A Grand Journey through Ancient Wonders & Vibrant Mediterranean Cultures is a 10-night one-way itinerary aboard Explora I. You board in Al Wajh and disembark in Piraeus (Athens), calling at 7 ports across 4 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Saudi Arabia (Al Wajh), Egypt (Safaga, Port Sokhna), Greece (Rhodes), Turkey (Kusadasi) and Greece (Piraeus).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Al Wajh and home from Piraeus (Athens), so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 4 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
