After nearly 20 years of waiting to go, we finally make it to see the Pyramids of Egypt. This time our trip takes us to Athens, Greece; Istanbul, Turkey; Cairo, Egypt; Malta, Sicily, and Rome, Italy.
We take the Cunard Queen Victoria out of Athens and visit nearly a dozen ports of call on this 12 day Mediterranean cruise.
BTW, always fly in/our at least a day early and day later than the cruise schedule! Flights have become more and more unreliable and missed connections becoming the norm. Atlanta and NYC are never on time anymore. On this trip we were delayed in Atlanta, missing our Athens flight, so had to stay in a hotel at JFK. Luckily, we had extra days and trip insurance to help!

We can heartly recommend Fantasy Travel in Athens, Greece for any extras, such as transportation from airport and port or hotel, as well as tours, etc. They did an excellent job, even when we had to rearrange our meeting time due to the flight delays. They met us at the airport and private escorted us to our hotel (Philippos Hotel, Athens) and the next day, to our ship. Also, can recommend the Philippos hotel, located within walking distance of the Acropolis.
