Mysteries of Mediterranean History

Embark on a timeless, 9-night journey through the Mediterranean aboard Oceania Cruises’ Sirena. Embark in Rome, home to the iconic Colosseum, and set sail for Salerno. Near Naples, visit Pompeii, a preserved ancient Roman city once buried under the ashes of nearby Mt. Vesuvius. Stop in Messina and admire the ornate details of the astronomical clock at the Cathedral of Messina. Savor a Sicilian meal in Syracuse, and in Katakolon, visit the home of the first Olympic games at Olympia, a UNESCO World Heritage site. From Gytheio, journey to UNESCO-listed Mystras to see medieval towers and ancient chapels. Soak up the sun at a pristine beach in Mykonos. Wander Skiathos’ maze of stone-paved streets and charming village squares. Near Canakkale, explore ancient Troy’s ruins and Hallipoli’s battlefields, where history from World War I unfolds. Conclude your journey in Istanbul.

On board enjoy small-ship luxury, regionally inspired dishes, hand-crafted beverages, panoramic views, and more.
