Italy to Turkey to Greece
Our program will begin in the heart of Tuscany, as we explore Siena and Florence and all the history and beauty these two cities encompass. From there we will make our way south to The Eternal City of Rome, where we will visit the wonders of the Colosseum, the Forum, St Peter’s Church and the Sistine Chapel. Our final Italian destination will be the enchanting city of Venice, where we will board our ship, the first-class cruise line Holland America's beautiful MS Oosterdam, and settle in for a magnificent 12-night cruise around the Mediterranean. From Italy to Turkey to Greece and back again, we will experience all that makes the Mediterranean famous: its incredible beaches, fascinating cultural history, and vibrant, cosmopolitan cities.
