Between 200 BC and 200 AD, the Romans were the masters of the Mediterranean. Their commercial vessels sailed to every corner of the region and their armies occupied all the surrounding coastlands. The waters these ancient mariners sailed are the home of Voyages to Antiquity. The people at Voyages to Antiquity were also pioneers of cruising in the Far East. Using this local knowledge, we have created a winter cruise-tour program which reveals the fascinating past and exotic landscapes of this extraordinary part of the world.
