Cruise Description 11 Night Cruise sailing from Athens to Jeddah aboard Crystal Symphony.

Discover the beauty of the Middle East. This early December cruise is a wonderful opportunity to visit the region with sights and sites and where locals welcome travelers with open arms. Relax on this slow-paced voyage that starts with an overnight in Athens, then sails via a sea day to Egypt's Alexandria and Port Said. Traverse the Suez Canal to arrive in Aqaba, where you'll spend two days visiting the rose-hued UNESCO World Heritage Site of Petra. Sail on to Safaga for an in-depth exploration of the Valley of the Kings and an overnight. Enjoy a sea day before arriving in Jeddah to disembark.

Highlights of this cruise:

Athens
Experience the vibrant and historic port of Piraeus, Athens' gateway to the Aegean islands and beyond, and find a rich maritime heritage, a bustling local culture, and access to the wonders of Athens. Venture through Greeceā€™s largest port city, Piraeus, as you make your way to the cradle of Western culture and the birthplace of democracy. Athens, among the world's oldest cities with a history spanning 3,400 years, has long been the location of myth and muse, and its ancient heritage is still an incredible source of inspiration. Here, the Acropolis crowns the city as home to the Parthenon and other legendary temples and monuments.

Port Said
At the head of the Suez Canal lies Port Said, our gateway into the treasures of Egypt. This colorful city will provide you with the opportunity to see the infamous Sphinx, the funerary objects of powerful Pharaohs, and the majestic grandeur of the Egyptian pyramids. Bargain for trinkets or rugs from street traders, or simply stroll the streets of this exotic city and absorb its undercurrent of excitement.

Safaga
Delve into the world of ancient Egypt in Luxor, a treasure trove of historically significant temples, tombs and monuments located on the east bank of the Nile. On the Red Sea coast, this small city offers beautiful beaches and glorious weather, even snorkeling and diving among the offshore reefs. More intriguingly, it serves as the gateway to Luxor on the west bank of the Nile River, where the Valley of the Kings reveals the elaborate tombs and underground mausoleums of pharaohs such as Tutankhamun and Ramses II.

Jeddah
As the most historic port in Saudi Arabia, Jeddah is packed full of cultural riches. Apart from being the gateway to Mecca, the city is famous for being the burial place of Eve, the mother of humanity. Although the city today buzzes with modernity, the past is very much present, largely thanks to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Old Jeddah where you can stroll the streets lined with beautiful and traditional 19th century architecture.
