TYPICAL ITINERARY
Southampton, Great Britain
The United Kingdom's premier passenger ship port, Southampton was home to the great transatlantic liners of yesteryear. The port serves as your gateway to Southern England’s magnificent historic sites, national landmarks, charming villages as well as the great metropolis of London. It is an ideal starting or ending point for a memorable voyage.
Lisbon, Portugal
Some of the best views of the Portuguese capital come as your ship cruises along the Tagus River. You pass the Belem Tower and the impressive Monument to the Discoveries with its statue of Henry the Navigator before arriving at the Lisbon cruise terminal. Although small for a European capital, this city does sprawl a little so you would do best to concentrate on three districts - Baixa, Bairro Alto and Alfama, each with its own distinctive style. Baixa has busy streets of inviting shops, cafés and restaurants while Alfama is the atmospheric old town with narrow cobblestone streets, medieval and Moorish-style buildings, wrought-iron balconies with trailing flowers and a mix of small shops and bars. Bairro Alto is another historic district with narrow streets and is a steep climb from Baixa so look out for the 100-year-old lift (Elevador do Carmo) near Rossio Square.
Malta, Malta
Malta is a Southern European country consisting of an archipelago situated in the centre of the Mediterranean. It is a microcosm of the Mediterranean. Few European countries have such concentrated history, architecture and beaches in so tiny an area. Although small, Malta has a long and rich history, with evidence for habitation going back to the Neolithic era (4th millennium B.C.). And it boasts some of the world's most ancient standing buildings (the Neolithic temples).
Rhodes, Greece
You will feel as though you have stepped back in time when you cruise right up to Rhodes’ magnificent walled Old Town - the largest inhabited medieval town in the whole of Europe. This magnificent place has made the island the most popular tourist destination in the Dodecanese. Look beyond the souvenir shops to its fabulous historic buildings, atmospheric cobbled streets and picturesque terraced restaurants and it is easy to see why. The major sights are easily discovered on foot – visit the 14th century Palace of the Grand Masters and Hospital of the Knights of St John, the pink-domed, 16th century Mosque of Suleyman and the Byzantine Museum, housed in an 11th century church. Make time, too, to browse the Turkish Market on Soukratos Street where you will find a cornucopia of stalls selling rugs, ceramics, jewellery and bric a brac which is great fun if you enjoy a good haggle.
Yalta, Ukraine
A mixture of medieval and modern history makes Ukrainian Yalta one of the most stimulating calls on any Black Sea cruise itinerary. Its medieval past literally stares you in the face with the imposing and turreted Swallows Nest castle overlooking the port but you will need to visit the White Palace of Livadia to evoke one of the most important events in modern history. Built in Italian Renaissance-style for Tsar Nicholas II in 1911, this was where Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill met towards the end of World War II to draw up their controversial map of post-war Europe. There are also tours from Yalta to Stalins dacha (originally Alexandar IIIs summer house) but, within 12th century Yalta itself you can visit several other palaces and museums, including one dedicated to the writer Chekhov.
Odessa, Ukraine
Just a 10-minute walk from Odessas cruise dock are the Potemkin Steps, famous forever since that memorably dramatic crowd scene in Eisensteins film ‘Battleship Potemkin’. Just 192 long steps but they remain an impressively evocative image of Odessas colourful past as a major cultural centre on the Black Sea coast. It has long been a popular seaside resort, too, but it is its heritage that makes Ukraines Odessa so popular with cruise visitors with the 19th century five-domed Russo-Byzantine Uspensky Cathedral a particular feast for the eyes, along with the Italian baroque-style Opera House. This 19th century icon is home to the renowned Odessa Ballet while its ornate interior includes a remarkable ceiling decorated with scenes from Shakespeare plays. You can also visit several lavish palaces and excellent museums and see the monument to poet Alexander Pushkins time spent in exile in the city in the 1820s.
Constanza, Dominican Republic
A glacier calving is an incredible event. When thousands of tons of ice peel away from a glacier a sharp boom is created that sounds like a massive detonation of high explosives. This in turn, is followed by a huge roar as newly born icebergs plunge into the sea. And an afternoon cruise in Prince William Sound’s spectacular College Fjord offers the possibility of witnessing this amazing event. This narrow 20-mile long fjord in the northern region of the Sound was created by glacial activity over millions of years. Today it boasts a collection of 16 glaciers and from the right angle (on board Arcadia) it’s possible to see eight of the College Fjord glaciers at once. Discovered a little over a hundred years ago College Fjord was happened upon while an expedition was looking for a short-cut to the Klondike gold fields. Included on this expedition were professors from Harvard and Amherst, who whimsically decided to name the glaciers after elite, east coast colleges (universities), including Amherst, Wellesley and Yale. Harvard, the second largest but most striking of the glaciers, sits at the mouth of the fjord with a 1½ mile wide face. Columbia, the largest, covers an area of over 400 square miles, and in 2001 was one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world – moving nearly 30 metres per day and discharging icebergs at a rate of approximately 1.7 cubic miles per year.
Istanbul, Turkey
Magical Istanbul - 3,000 years old, spanning two continents and a crucible of cultures where east meets west - is a key Turkish homeport for cruise ships, and even those ‘just visiting’ usually spend a night as this wonderful city offers so much to see and do. If this is your first visit, a tour of the main sights is a good introduction to the city’s treasures, which include the world-famous Blue Mosque and the equally impressive mosque of Suleyman the Magnificent, the vibrant old city, the Grand Bazaar (a warren of narrow streets containing more than 4,000 shops, stalls, restaurants and artisans’ workshops) and the Topkapi Palace, famed for its jewels but which also has spectacular gardens. Also worth seeing is the ancient Hippodrome - now an open-air museum. And a boat trip across the Bosphorus to view the minarets and grand palaces of the city’s skyline is an unforgettable experience.
Ephesus (from Kusadasi), Greece
Kusadasi is a bustling successful port that provides excellent access to the extraordinary remains at Ephesus. If youre not on a tour try hiring one of the huge gas-guzzling American cars (left by former servicemen) and turned into cabs by the enterprising locals. In Ephesus, enter the magnificent site of the Ancient City at the Magnesia Gate. Whilst Ephesus is now deserted and in ruins, the past glories come to life as the impressive array of temples, agoras, porticoes and fountains come into view. Of particular interest are the Odeum, the Celsus Library, the temple of Hadrian, the Fountain of Trajan and the Great Theatre. Built over a 2nd century tomb believed to hold St. John the Evangelist, St. Johns Basilica was once topped with eleven domes and rivalled Istanbuls St. Sophia Basilica in scale. The church is now in ruins, but there are many frescoes, mosaics and columns that attest to the glory that once marked this holy place.
Athens (from Piraeus), Greece
Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. The port of Piraeus is one of the last old-style Mediterranean ports from where you can catch ferries to all of the Greek islands and travel a short distance to Athens, Athens is an ancient city, steeped in many centuries of history. In the heart of the city lies the ancient Plaka district, with its honeycomb of streets, little shops - and tavernas that come alive at night. Situated on the north and east slopes of the Acropolis, it is rich with historic sites, such as ancient monuments and churches. Within Athens there are eight large hills, including the Acropolis, and on the outskirts, Mount Parnitha, Mount Pendeli and Mount Hymettos surround the city. A trip to Athens' most famous tourist attraction, the impressive Parthenon built on the Acropolis around 2,500 years ago, will be memorable to say the least. There are an extraordinary number of historic tourist sights in Athens and many of these are known world-wide. Some of the top Athens attractions include the Agora - a grand, ruined Roman building, Hadrian's Arch - originally the city gate linking the Roman quarters with original town of Athens and the stunning Dionysos Theatre - the world's oldest theatre where many great plays have been performed over the years.
Palma, Spain
Dominated by its iconic Gothic cathedral, the Majorcan capital and cruise port Palma has been transformed in recent years into one of the most sophisticated hotspots of the Mediterranean. Fine shops rub shoulders with authentic Balearic restaurants and tapas bars in this easy to navigate city. From the harbour filled with expensive yachts, wander up to the magnificent cathedral and stand in awe when you realise it took 500 years to complete. Spreading out around this ancient structure with its impressive views is a collection of side streets and alleys which give a sense of the city’s cultural past and Moorish influences. Walking from the old town you reach the thoroughfare of Passeig d’es Born with its many cafés where you can sample freshly baked spiral pastries called ensaimadas, a local speciality. It is also well worth exploring the unusual circular Castell de Bellver, overlooking the bay to the west.
OVERVIEW
Pulsating to the sounds of children, hawkers and carpet sellers, two days in colourful Istanbul provide the highlight of this 24-night cruise on board Azura. This key Turkish port offers a fascinating crucible of cultures where east meets west with treasures including the world-famous Blue Mosque, the captivating Grand Bazaar and the Topkapi Palace, famed for its jewels and spectacular gardens. Your adventure begins, however with your first glimpse of Lisbon as you sail along the Tagus River. Next it’s on to Malta GC, historical Rhodes and the fascinating Black Sea ports of Yalta, Odessa and Romania’s Constanza, where Jason and the Argonauts landed with the Golden Fleece. From Istanbul, Azura sails to the bustling Turkish port of Kusadasi which provides excellent access to Ephesus’ extraordinary remains, including temples, agoras, porticoes and fountains. Athens’ ancient temples of the Acropolis are reached via the port of Piraeus with Palma, now one of the most sophisticated hotspots of the Mediterranean, providing your final port of call.

- P&O Cruises has a proud tradition of giving passengers the very best - and they don't come much better than Atul Kochhar. Atul's restaurant, Sindhu, will showcase an elegant fusion of indian and British cuisine featuring sublime flavours, daring taste combinations and exquisite presentation. His Soft Shell Crab and Squid Salad in particular is sure to be a favourite. Passengers will also be able to order from a lighter menu for a more informal bite to eat, or sample one of Atul's Exotic cocktails from the equally chic bar.

Yet the theatre has all the very latest technical advantages.
