Immerse yourself in the wonders of the Mediterranean on a 14-night ultra-luxury cruise from Barcelona to Istanbul aboard the Seabourn Venture, exploring breathtaking islands, iconic landmarks and ancient sites. Then, captivate your senses on a journey through enchanting Türkiye, discovering grand mosques, otherworldly landscapes and traditional cuisine.

Highlights
  • Experience the magic of Cappadocia during an unforgettable Signature Experience as you immerse yourself in the region's rich heritage. Savour traditional Turkish fare while being mesmerised by the hypnotic rhythms of belly dancers. Then, witness a captivating whirling dervish ceremony, a form of physically active meditation that originated among certain Sufi groups.

  • Explore the archaeological site of Aphrodisias, a former city-state that was founded near a marble quarry in the early second century BC. Aphrodisias became a major artistic centre and was home to many notable schools of sculpture. The city was famous for its many elaborate structures made from local marble, as well as the ceremonies that took place in the Aphrodite Temple in the name of Aphrodite.

  • Spend two nights in Pamukkale, famous for its myriad of white calcium terraces with mineral-rich thermal pools. Explore the ruins of the neighbouring ancient spa city of Hierapolis, situated atop Pamukkale's terraces. Likely established by Eumenes II in 190 BC, Hierapolis was rebuilt during the reign of Roman emperor Tiberius in AD 14 to 37. The city survived until 1334, when it was abandoned after an earthquake.

  • Explore the treasures of the Cappadocia region, uncovering surreal landscapes, underground cities and ancient sites. See the spectacular cluster of rock-cut churches, chapels and monasteries at the World Heritage-listed Göreme Open-Air Museum. And marvel at the famous basalt-topped fairy chimneys in the small valley of Paşabağı.

  • Discover Istanbul's World Heritage-listed sites, including the famous Hippodrome, Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Choose between a tour of the extravagant Topkapı Palace or a relaxing cruise on the Bosphorus.

  • Immerse yourself in Anzac history with a captivating excursion to the Gallipoli Peninsula. Explore the numerous trenches and memorials that stand as a tribute to those who lost their lives in World War I. Pay your respects at Anzac Cove, the Australian Memorial at Lone Pine, and the New Zealand Memorial at Chunuk Bair.

  • Explore the ancient city of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved classical cities of the Eastern Mediterranean. Step back in time as you immerse yourself in ancient Roman life and imagine the city’s former splendour. Broad streets are lined with impressive buildings, including the library of Celsus, which was built in memory of Celsus Polemeanus, a Roman senator and reportedly a great book lover.

  • Visit the Italian island of Sicily, where you’ll explore Syracuse and the Neapolis Archaeological Park. Here, discover the Latomia del Paradiso, an ancient limestone quarry. You’ll also dock in Mazara del Vallo and venture to Selinunte Archaeological Park. Covering an impressive 270 hectares, the sprawling archaeological site is situated between rolling green hills and the glistening waters of the Mediterranean.
