A circuMNAViGAtioN oF tHe BLAck SeA May 27–June 9, 2014 (13 nights/14 days)

BetweeN europe ANd ASiA MiNor

LieS tHe BLAck SeA, along whose

shores the fortunes of ancient empires

waxed and waned. Aboard the sleek new

yacht variety voyager, circumnavigate

this legendary body of water, beginning

and ending in Istanbul, the cultural

crossroads of Europe and Asia and a

repository of astonishing treasures.

During this 11-night cruise, call on historic

cities in Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Ukraine,

and Bulgaria: Trabzon, home of the

4th-century Sumela Monastery, adorned

with biblical frescoes; Batumi, site of a

remarkable botanical garden; Sochi, 2014

host of the Winter Olympics and favorite

of Stalin; Sevastopol, former outpost of

the Soviet Navy; Odessa, whose Potemkin

Steps were made famous in the 1925

silent movie Battleship Potemkin; varna,

whose museum displays magnificent

Scythian gold treasures; and Nesebar, a

city-museum of Byzantine architecture.

Explore the region’s storied past and

current political climate in the company

of former ambassador Nicholas Burns,

who has extensive career experience in

Russia and Ukraine. Along the way

enjoy energetic and colorful dance and

music performances that highlight the

cultural traditions of each country, and

sample a variety of delicious local

cuisines. To extend your adventure,

join the optional post-trip extension

to Cappadocia, land of towering fairy

chimneys, in Central Anatolia.

Visit the ancient Greek Orthodox Sumela Monastery tucked into the cliffs of the Pontic Mountains, where colorful frescoes recreate scenes from the Bible. (Cover) Istanbul’s Blue Mosque delights with its multiple minarets, domes of varying sizes, and beautiful Iznik tiles lining the interior.
