from the birth of civilization through the dramatic end of the Cold
War. Epic tales of the past resonate within the ancient walls of
Turkeys Byzantine churches and exquisite Ottoman mosques.
Watch turquoise waves crash on black pebble beaches as you
sail past deep canyons and jutting cliffs of the Crimean Peninsula.
Visit Livadia Palace where Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin
determined Europes fate, and enter Balaklavas former secret
Soviet submarine base. Traverse the Crimean War battlefields,
immortalized in Tennysons famous poem commemorating theill-fated British cavalry charge.
