Virtuoso Insights - June/July 2008 - (Page 11) Shadows of the Ancients These are Europe’s most fabled destinations, lands with a draw so magnetic that they are impossible to resist. To maximize your time in port, Nautica has generously allotted three evenings ashore and but one day at sea. Begin with an overnight stay in Istanbul, a city that sits astride two continents, both of which can be experienced on a boat cruise down the graceful Bosphorus, dividing them. In Greece, whose landscape is dotted with revealing ruins, be sure to see the fabulous Archaeological Museum in Heraklion, and Athens’ fine Dionysos Theatre, where Euripedes’ plays were performed. This voyage finishes with a flourish – two overnight stays, allowing for easy access to the artistic treasures in Florence and Pisa and all the wonders of imperial Rome. DELUXE OCEAN VIEW FARES FROM $ 3,399 PER GUEST WITH FREE AIRFARE Mediterranean Icons INSIGNIA A wonderful blend of all-time favorites and out-of-the-ordinary seaports, this voyage circles the Western Mediterranean with gusto. It begins with two of Italy’s most iconic destinations: the living museum of Rome and bustling Naples, where you might board a jetfoil to chic Capri for a tour of the famed Villa San Michele. Then, it’s on to two rather unique ports on the continent of Africa. In La Goulette, you will have the opportunity to explore Tunisia’s ancient Carthage, and in Tangier, there’s the alluring seaside promenade. As a finale, you will spend an evening in sophisticated Lisbon. For an unsurpassed view of its Alfama medieval district and the River Tagus, walk along the ramparts of Saint George’s Castle, parts of which date to the 10th century.
