On this cruise, encompassing North Africa's entire Mediterranean coast, you will voyage from Egypt to Morocco. As you explore this storied world, you will reach seldom-visited places, such as the well-preserved Roman ruins of Djemila, the attractive old city of Tlemcen, the World War II battlefields of Tubruq, and Libya's amazing Greco-Roman cities. Explore the walled holy city of Kairouan, Tunisia, the Islamic world's most important pilgrimage site after Mecca and Medina, and appraise the checkered legacy of successive rulers in Tangier, Morocco, from the Phoenicians in the 7th century B.C. to the Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Visigoths, and in the 8th century, the Arabs. Your voyage will be aboard Corinthian II, an ideal vessel for crossing North Africa's sands of time.
