Mediterranean Wonders: Sicily, Greece, Sardinia, and Beyond
Traverse a wide swath of the Mediterranean Sea to encounter ancient ruins, medieval towns, and culinary delicacies from Spain and Sardinia to Corsica and Greece. Walk among pre-historic standing stones on the isle of Menorca, savor Sicilian wine at an 18th-century castle, swim in the azure waters of Kefalonia, and discover Delphi, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the center of the ancient Greek world. Aboard the nimble National Geographic Orion, we’ll navigate places other ships cannot like the famed Corinth Canal while delving into the enduring empires that helped shape modern history.
