Aegean Odyssey
Intimate and informal, 350-passenger Aegean Odyssey is the sole ship operated by Britain-based Voyages to Antiquity, a line specializing in enrichment-focused, itinerary-driven sailings highlighting historic and cultural ports in the Mediterranean, Africa, and Asia. The compact ship is small enough to navigate rivers and off-the-beaten-path inlets, allowing for unique combined ocean-and-river itineraries, while its seven decks offer a relaxed retreat amid understated decor. Accommodations are available across numerous stateroom categories, while comfortable public spaces include two dining venues, a well-stocked library, an Internet café, a top-deck pool, three bars and lounges, and a small spa and fitness center.

Mostly All-Inclusive Rates: Guided shore excursions with QuietVox headsets; gratuities; afternoon tea; wine, beer, and soft drinks with dinner; ground transfers; and pre- or post-cruise hotel stays are bundled into the base fare.
Onboard Lectures: Voyages to Antiquity's emphasis on enrichment doesn't stop when Aegean Odyssey leaves port — near-daily lectures are presented by professors, historians, writers, and former ambassadors who’ve been invited along on each voyage to share their regional expertise.
