Trip Overview
Join this one-of-a-kind 12-night sojourn on three continents to explore the ancient treasures and engineering marvels of the greatest civilizations of Jordan, Egypt and Greece. Tour the island of Santorini and nine UNESCO World Heritage sites, including an excursion into dramatic Wadi Rum and a specially arranged visit into the tomb of Queen Nefertari. Cruise for seven nights across to the azure Aegean into the brilliant Mediterranean through the Suez Canal into the Red Sea aboard the exclusively chartered, five-star Le Bellot, launched in 2019. See the Great Pyramids, the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. Mid‑cruise, overnight in awe-inspiring Luxor in a Nile-view room. Choose to tour Alexandria or an excursion to historic Cairo. Spend three nights in Amman to visit the well-preserved Greco-Roman town of Jerash and one night adjacent to the "rose‑red city" of Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
