Great things come in small packages
A cruise with Voyages to Antiquity is proof that the best things really do come in small packages. Carrying an average of just 350 passengers, the Aegean Odyssey is tasteful, intimate and classically elegant. Onboard, the atmosphere is the perfect blend of refined and relaxed. Think a floppy sun hat and jandals by day, followed by a quick outfit change before sunset cocktails in the Charleston Lounge
Plus, accompanying you on each cruise are celebrated guest speakers, handpicked by the line. From historians to archaeologists, they’re on hand to enrich your journey with informative lectures and entertaining talks.
