- Starting in Istanbul, Le Lyrial will sail in the wonderful Dardanelles strait and the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea. You will then head to Greece and its mythical Caldera Santorin before reaching the majestic Italian coasts to Civitavecchia.
- Ever since centuries, Istanbul, which lit up Europe and the Ottoman Empire has been much more than a capital – it is a beacon in the History of civilisations.
- In a setting of vegetation and colourful tropical flowers, of bougainvilleas and oleanders, in the shadow of the snow-topped peak of Mount Etna, Taormina casts a spell over all its visitors.
- You will also have the opportunity to admire the Stromboli, the capricious volcano that looms over the Aeolian Islands. Its activity, uninterrupted for thousands of years, has earned it the nickname the “Lighthouse of the Mediterranean”.
8 Days / 7 Nights from AUD 5240 *
Departure: October 04 2016
Musical Cruise in partnership with Radio Classique:
This cruise, which is exceptional in more ways than one, offers passengers a musical journey from the gateway to the East to the shores of the West: From MOZART and his “Abduction from the Seraglio” or his “Clemency of Titus”, the cycle will be completed. But above all, this cruise, which alternates lyrical evenings with instrumental evenings, plus a musical conference and a conference on Ancient Rome (by Xavier DARCOS of the Academie Française) will allow you to enjoy the performances of some of the finest contemporary musical talents. Playing solo or together, they will take the magic of sailing about Le Lyrial to new heights.
Including some of today’s greatest vocal or instrumental stars, performing solo or in groups, this fabulous musical selection will offer moments of musical emotion every day, in perfect harmony with the emotion of the scenery.
