Highlights: Each cruise has been carefully designed to give you the freedom to explore at your own pace. ■ Çanakkale: In northwestern Turkey, Çanakkale is the gateway to the Gallipoli battlefields. Visit Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli peninsula and walk in the footsteps of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who landed there during the First World War. ■ Istanbul: This Turkish city holds ancient tradition close, while allowing other cultures to make their mark for the better. Often described as multiple cities within one, a vibrant, cosmopolitan social scene coexists in the company of monuments to its Ottoman and Byzantine past. Marvel at the cascading domes and six minarets of the Blue Mosque, built for Sultan Ahmet, renowned for its blue Iznik tiles inside, from which it gets its nickname. ■ Sochi: One of Russia’s southernmost cities, Sochi is situated along the Black Sea on the ‘Russian Riviera’. A subtropical resort made popular by the Russian elite, it is famous for its mineral springs and beautiful coastline with the stunning backdrop of the Caucasus Mountains. ■ Odessa: Founded in the late 18th century as a Russian naval fortress, the Ukrainian city of Odessa is one of the most significant industrial ports in the Black Sea. Home to beautiful beaches, quaint pastel buildings and the stunning old town with a spectacular opera house, it attracts visitors from around the world with its vibrant cultural and artistic scene.
