A romantic odyssey across seamless oceans to fabled lands that have inspired travellers throughout the ages. In the western ports, discover Spain’s medieval Moorish kingdoms, flamenco and tapas. The glamour of the French Riviera as it infuses its visitors with an unabashed joie de vivre. Italy is a land of rich pleasures; the great wealth of art and architecture in Florence, the beauty of Venice with its myriad of canals, and the splendour of the Eternal City of Rome. Through the cerulean waters of the Adriatic Sea to witness the grandeur of Istanbul and the Renaissance-era palaces of Croatia — to Athens’ Acropolis and the Minoan palace of Midas on Crete. Eastward still, sailing the Aegean and Black Seas as they reveal the oasis of Palmyra in Syria, Libya’s intriguing Leptis Magna, and the untold mysteries of Egypt’s pyramids.

The Mediterranean – a sea of stories.
From these shores, Helen’s beauty launched a thousand ships. Among the marble ruins here, Julius Caesar announced to the Roman Senate: I came, I saw, I conquered. This is where Suleyman the Magnificent had his 300-strong harem, and a 26-year-old Michelangelo began carving the David. Amid the ancient columns on windswept hills and down the labyrinthine lanes of medieval towns, everywhere in the Mediterranean echoes with stories—the stories of Gods, heroes, great civilizations and the valiant deeds of common people.
Travel Dynamics International's luxury small-ship cruises are unique in the world of cultural and educational travel. They create, and operate, entirely original cruise itineraries based upon exciting topics in ancient and medieval history, literature, art, traditional cultures and the natural world.

There's something special about traveling on a Travcoa journey...
Since 1954, Travcoa has paved the way to some of the most remote regions on Earth. They were first to bring guests to places where others had not previously ventured. Along the way, they befriended village chieftains, dignitaries and government officials who opened doors long closed to Western travelers.
They have continued to pioneer not only new destinations, but also new ways of exploring and discovering the world. They believe that travel is made better by the people you meet along the way, the epicurean delights that satisfy the soul, the places you stay that pamper your spirit and the things you experience that enrich your mind.
Travcoa has been recognized as one of the best international tour operators by the readers of Travel + Leisure magazine, and has appeared on their “World’s Best" list for nine consecutive years.
