MV AEGEAN ODYSSEY...
Classically elegant, yet far from formal, MV Aegean Odyssey
is the ideal ship for touring antiquity. This is a premiumclass vessel, rebuilt for cruising the coastal waters of the
Mediterranean Sea. The ship easily approaches islands,
enters remote inlets and explores ancient sites inaccessible
to larger vessels, opening up experiences to you that others
miss. This is boutique-style cruising. The ship carries an
average of 350 passengers accommodated in comfortable
and well-appointed suites, junior suites and staterooms.
Enjoy a casual dress code, open-seated dining and many
diversions including the outdoor pool, a full-service spa and
stimulating talks in the lecture theatre.
Two restaurants celebrate the Mediterranean’s glorious
culinary tradition with the best ingredients in delicious and
healthful dishes. Enjoy full waiter service and easy
sophistication in the Marco Polo, the ship’s more formal
dining room, where lunches and dinners feature delectable
entrees. At dinner, complimentary house wines are carefully
sourced from noted wine regions around the world. The
Terrace Café offers cooking on the open grill and indoor
and alfresco seating for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The
bistro-style restaurant serves appetizers, paella and
authentic Italian pizzas. For a special
treat, take afternoon tea — an
English tradition made magical
when enjoyed at sea. Aegean
Odyssey’s crowning touch is the fine
service of the crew, whose attention
to detail and graciousness will
complete your unforgettable voyage
to antiquity.
Cruise in comfort, relax in style.

deserted island of Delos, the religious centre
of the Cyclades, where columns lie glistening
in the sun and the Lions of Delos guard the
Sacred Way. As the reputed birthplace of the
god Apollo, Delos once was a principal

boutiques and art galleries. Continue to
Akrotiri to see the excavations at the ancient
Minoan settlement. Later, visit the cliff-top
town of Fira and the Archeological Museum.
Day Seven
B|L|D
Rethimnon
Excursion: The Palace of Knossos. This
magnificent palace complex, with its
flamboyant decoration, courts, audience
chambers and residential areas, is an
impressive and inspiring site. Constructed
about 1900 B.C., it was the administrative and
religious centre of the Minoan kingdom. Here,
King Minos held court — so mythology holds
— and his wife gave birth to a half-man,
half-bull creature that lurked in the palace’s
labyrinth. The guided tour will take you
through this legend-rich complex that
sprawled across five acres, where everything
has been reconstructed with care.
Day Eight
B|L|D
Kos
Just off the Turkish coast, Kos is best known
as the birthplace of Hippocrates. The father
of Western medicine was born on Kos in
460 B.C. The Asklepeion is the island’s most
famous landmark. Named after the god of
healing, it was a temple as well as a hospital
where Hippocrates received his training.
Day Nine
B|L|D
Rhodes
Excursion: Old Town & Grand Master’s
Palace. Leave behind the port where the
famed Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven
Wonders of the Ancient World, once stood
watch over the island’s harbour. En route, visit
a lookout named Mount Smith, named after
British admiral Sir Sydney Smith. The lookout
was used to scan the seas for French ships in
the Napoleonic era. Then, visit the citadel of
the knights through the d’Amboise Gate and
head for the restored Grand Palace. Later,
stroll through the cobblestone Street of the
Knights and admire the honey-coloured stone
buildings. Step into the 15th-century Knights

Day Eleven
B|L|D
Izmir
Excursion: Ancient Ephesus. During its
heyday, the cosmopolitan city of Ephesus was
on par with Athens and Rome. The seaside
port that fuelled the city’s prosperity in
ancient times is filled with silt, leaving the
grand sites frozen in time in a state of
remarkable preservation. Throughout the
centuries, Ephesus has been dedicated to
Artemis, a Roman stronghold and a centre of
Christianity. Highlights of your walking tour
include the Library of Celsus with its
splendid columned façade, the Grand Theatre
where St. Paul once preached his sermons,
the terraced houses and the Temple of
Hadrian. Few places bring antiquity so vividly
to life.
Day Twelve
B|L|D
Izmir
Excursion: Pergamon: Acropolis &
Asclepion. Ride a cable car to the hilltop
capital of Pergamon and visit the city’s
ancient healing centre on this adventure.
Both the ancient Greeks and Romans left
their mark on Pergamon. Pass through the
Royal Gate to explore the noted library, the
10,000-seat theatre carved into the steep
slopes and the dramatic Temple of Trajan
overlooking the Selinus River below. See a
shrine to Dionysus, a sanctuary of Demeter,
the gymnasium, the Agora and the Asklepeion,
an ancient spa and sanitarium.
Day Thirteen
B|L|D
Canakkale
Excursion: Troy. Canakkale is the gateway
to the storied city of Troy, a city described in
ancient Greek lore. Troy itself was long
believed to be a mythical city until the late
19th century, when a series of excavations
uncovered the ruins of a fortress and other
evidence of a great city. These digs provided
vital information about the ancient Greeks
and Romans who built the city, which as a
great trading port helped develop this region
as the crossroads between East and West.
This evening, gather with your fellow travellers
to recount your amazing experiences during a
Farewell Reception.
Day Fourteen
B|L|D

Disembark the ship and explore the city
before checking in to the Marti Istanbul Hotel.
Excursion: Inspiring Istanbul. See the
glittering mosaics in Hagia Sophia, a sixthcentury Byzantine church that later became
a mosque and now is a museum. Tour Sultan

residence of Ottoman sultans for 400 years.
Independent Exploration: The afternoon

MV AEGEAN ODYSSEY...
Classically elegant, yet far from formal, MV Aegean Odyssey
is the ideal ship for touring antiquity. This is a premiumclass vessel, rebuilt for cruising the coastal waters of the
Mediterranean Sea. The ship easily approaches islands,
enters remote inlets and explores ancient sites inaccessible
to larger vessels, opening up experiences to you that others
miss. This is boutique-style cruising. The ship carries an
average of 350 passengers accommodated in comfortable
and well-appointed suites, junior suites and staterooms.
Enjoy a casual dress code, open-seated dining and many
diversions including the outdoor pool, a full-service spa and
stimulating talks in the lecture theatre.
Two restaurants celebrate the Mediterranean’s glorious
culinary tradition with the best ingredients in delicious and
healthful dishes. Enjoy full waiter service and easy
sophistication in the Marco Polo, the ship’s more formal
dining room, where lunches and dinners feature delectable
entrees. At dinner, complimentary house wines are carefully
sourced from noted wine regions around the world. The
Terrace Café offers cooking on the open grill and indoor
and alfresco seating for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The
bistro-style restaurant serves appetizers, paella and
authentic Italian pizzas. For a special
treat, take afternoon tea — an
English tradition made magical
when enjoyed at sea. Aegean
Odyssey’s crowning touch is the fine
service of the crew, whose attention
to detail and graciousness will
complete your unforgettable voyage
to antiquity.
Cruise in comfort, relax in style.

deserted island of Delos, the religious centre
of the Cyclades, where columns lie glistening
in the sun and the Lions of Delos guard the
Sacred Way. As the reputed birthplace of the
god Apollo, Delos once was a principal
religious and commercial centre of the Eastern Mediterranean. Enjoy a guided tour and

boutiques and art galleries. Continue to
Akrotiri to see the excavations at the ancient
Minoan settlement. Later, visit the cliff-top
town of Fira and the Archeological Museum.
Day Seven
B|L|D
Rethimnon
Excursion: The Palace of Knossos. This
magnificent palace complex, with its
flamboyant decoration, courts, audience
chambers and residential areas, is an
impressive and inspiring site. Constructed
about 1900 B.C., it was the administrative and
religious centre of the Minoan kingdom. Here,
King Minos held court — so mythology holds
— and his wife gave birth to a half-man,
half-bull creature that lurked in the palace’s
labyrinth. The guided tour will take you
through this legend-rich complex that
sprawled across five acres, where everything
has been reconstructed with care.
Day Eight
B|L|D
Kos
Just off the Turkish coast, Kos is best known
as the birthplace of Hippocrates. The father
of Western medicine was born on Kos in
460 B.C. The Asklepeion is the island’s most
famous landmark. Named after the god of
healing, it was a temple as well as a hospital
where Hippocrates received his training.
Day Nine
B|L|D
Rhodes
Excursion: Old Town & Grand Master’s
Palace. Leave behind the port where the
famed Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven
Wonders of the Ancient World, once stood
watch over the island’s harbour. En route, visit
a lookout named Mount Smith, named after
British admiral Sir Sydney Smith. The lookout
was used to scan the seas for French ships in
the Napoleonic era. Then, visit the citadel of
the knights through the d’Amboise Gate and
head for the restored Grand Palace. Later,
stroll through the cobblestone Street of the
Knights and admire the honey-coloured stone
buildings. Step into the 15th-century Knights
Hospital, now an archaeological museum that
counts the Aphrodite of Rhodes in flawless
Parian marble among its treasures.

Day Eleven
B|L|D
Izmir
Excursion: Ancient Ephesus. During its
heyday, the cosmopolitan city of Ephesus was
on par with Athens and Rome. The seaside
port that fuelled the city’s prosperity in
ancient times is filled with silt, leaving the
grand sites frozen in time in a state of
remarkable preservation. Throughout the
centuries, Ephesus has been dedicated to
Artemis, a Roman stronghold and a centre of
Christianity. Highlights of your walking tour
include the Library of Celsus with its
splendid columned façade, the Grand Theatre
where St. Paul once preached his sermons,
the terraced houses and the Temple of
Hadrian. Few places bring antiquity so vividly
to life.
Day Twelve
B|L|D
Izmir
Excursion: Pergamon: Acropolis &
Asclepion. Ride a cable car to the hilltop
capital of Pergamon and visit the city’s
ancient healing centre on this adventure.
Both the ancient Greeks and Romans left
their mark on Pergamon. Pass through the
Royal Gate to explore the noted library, the
10,000-seat theatre carved into the steep
slopes and the dramatic Temple of Trajan
overlooking the Selinus River below. See a
shrine to Dionysus, a sanctuary of Demeter,
the gymnasium, the Agora and the Asklepeion,
an ancient spa and sanitarium.
Day Thirteen
B|L|D
Canakkale
Excursion: Troy. Canakkale is the gateway
to the storied city of Troy, a city described in
ancient Greek lore. Troy itself was long
believed to be a mythical city until the late
19th century, when a series of excavations
uncovered the ruins of a fortress and other
evidence of a great city. These digs provided
vital information about the ancient Greeks
and Romans who built the city, which as a

magnificent palace complex, with its
flamboyant decoration, courts, audience
chambers and residential areas, is an
impressive and inspiring site. Constructed
about 1900 B.C., it was the administrative and
religious centre of the Minoan kingdom. Here,
King Minos held court — so mythology holds
— and his wife gave birth to a half-man,
half-bull creature that lurked in the palace’s
labyrinth. The guided tour will take you

sprawled across five acres, where everything
has been reconstructed with care.
Day Eight

port that fuelled the city’s prosperity in
ancient times is filled with silt, leaving the
grand sites frozen in time in a state of
remarkable preservation. Throughout the
centuries, Ephesus has been dedicated to
Artemis, a Roman stronghold and a centre of
Christianity. Highlights of your walking tour

ancient Greek lore. Troy itself was long
believed to be a mythical city until the late
19th century, when a series of excavations
uncovered the ruins of a fortress and other
evidence of a great city. These digs provided
vital information about the ancient Greeks
and Romans who built the city, which as a
great trading port helped develop this region

magnificent palace complex, with its
flamboyant decoration, courts, audience

impressive and inspiring site. Constructed
about 1900 B.C., it was the administrative and
religious centre of the Minoan kingdom. Here,
King Minos held court — so mythology holds
— and his wife gave birth to a half-man,
half-bull creature that lurked in the palace’s
labyrinth. The guided tour will take you
through this legend-rich complex that
sprawled across five acres, where everything
has been reconstructed with care.

the Napoleonic era. Then, visit the citadel of
the knights through the d’Amboise Gate and

heyday, the cosmopolitan city of Ephesus was
on par with Athens and Rome. The seaside
port that fuelled the city’s prosperity in
ancient times is filled with silt, leaving the
grand sites frozen in time in a state of
remarkable preservation. Throughout the
centuries, Ephesus has been dedicated to
Artemis, a Roman stronghold and a centre of
Christianity. Highlights of your walking tour
include the Library of Celsus with its
splendid columned façade, the Grand Theatre
where St. Paul once preached his sermons,
the terraced houses and the Temple of
Hadrian. Few places bring antiquity so vividly
to life.

to the storied city of Troy, a city described in
ancient Greek lore. Troy itself was long
believed to be a mythical city until the late
19th century, when a series of excavations
uncovered the ruins of a fortress and other
evidence of a great city. These digs provided
vital information about the ancient Greeks
and Romans who built the city, which as a
great trading port helped develop this region
as the crossroads between East and West.
This evening, gather with your fellow travellers
to recount your amazing experiences during a
Farewell Reception.

that will take you to sunny Greek islands and cities along the
Turkish coast that are filled with history and ruins tied to
ancient mythology. Conclude your journey in Istanbul, which

sounds of this ancient Byzantine and Ottoman city.
Expert speakers and guides will enhance your journey as

visit. An experienced Travel Director will accompany you
throughout your program to handle every detail, allowing you to
enjoy your trip to the fullest. Space is limited on this boutique
cruise, so please call today to make your reservation.

Dear Alumni and Friends,
Join us on a voyage to discover the treasures of ancient
Greece and Turkey. This journey will take you from Athens,
the city that fostered the great philosophers, playwrights and
scientists of yore, to exotic Istanbul, the crossroads that
bridges Europe and Asia.
Begin with two nights in Athens by visiting the Acropolis,
which sits like a crown high above the city. Then embark on
a 12-night cruise of the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean Sea
that will take you to sunny Greek islands and cities along the
Turkish coast that are filled with history and ruins tied to
ancient mythology. Conclude your journey in Istanbul, which
allows you to immerse yourself in the flavours, sights and
sounds of this ancient Byzantine and Ottoman city.
Expert speakers and guides will enhance your journey as
they explain the history and significance of the places you will
visit. An experienced Travel Director will accompany you
throughout your program to handle every detail, allowing you to
enjoy your trip to the fullest. Space is limited on this boutique
cruise, so please call today to make your reservation.

mentioned in this brochure under included features; travel insurance;
all items of a strictly personal nature.
MOBILITY AND FITNESS TO TRAVEL-The right is retained to decline to
accept or to retain any person as a member of this trip who, in the
opinion of AHI Travel is unfit for travel or whose physical or mental
condition may constitute a danger to themselves or to others on the
trip, subject only to the requirement that the portion of the total
amount paid which corresponds to the unused services and accommodations be refunded. Passengers requiring special assistance, including without limitation those who permanently or periodically use a
wheelchair, must be accompanied by someone who is fit and able to

AIR TRANSPORTATION-The price of air transportation offered by AHI
Travel is based on Advance Purchase Excursion fares. After tickets are
issued, penalties up to 100% of the ticket price may be levied. If connecting flights are requested, special promotional fares may be used,
in which case penalties of as much as 100% may be assessed by the
airlines if reservations are changed or cancelled after ticketing. After
departure, if the reservations are changed, you will be charged the
higher, all year Economy class fare. VARIATIONS TO THE GROUP ITINERARY MUST BE REQUESTED NO LATER THAN 60 DAYS PRIOR TO
DEPARTURE. Passengers who choose to make their own airline reservations independently will be wholly responsible for any airline fees
or penalties incurred as a result of program cancellation and/or
change in travel dates, or airline schedule(s).
BAGGAGE-Baggage restrictions vary according to the airline policy and
the class of service flown. Details will be provided with your predeparture information. Baggage allowances are subject to change by
the carrier without notice. Excess baggage charges for additional or
oversized/overweight pieces are expensive and not included in your
trip price; plan your wardrobe accordingly. Transport of baggage and
personal effects is at the owner's risk throughout the travel program.
AUTHORITY TO USE IMAGES AND AUDIO RECORDINGS - On occasion,
AHI Travel obtains, from its staff, or from trip participants, photographic or video images of passengers and trip activities. By participating in this travel program, you authorize AHI Travel, without providing compensation to you, or obtaining additional approvals from you,
to include photographic and video recordings of you, as well as voice
recordings included with any videos, in AHI Travel's sales, marketing,
advertising, publicity and/or training activities.
RESPONSIBILITY-AHI Travel and the Sponsoring Association do not
own or operate any entity which provides goods or services for this
program, and act only as agents for the independent suppliers of travel conveyance, transport, accommodations or other services. All such
persons or entities are independent contractors. As a result, AHI
Travel and the Sponsoring Association are not liable for any negligence or willful act of any such person or entity or any third person. In
addition and without limitation, AHI Travel and the Sponsoring
Association are not responsible for any delays, delayed departure or
arrival, missed carrier connections, loss, death, damage or injury to
person or property or accident, mechanical defect, failure or negligence of any nature howsoever caused in connection with any accommodations, transportation or other services or for any substitution of
hotels or of common carrier equipment, with or without notice, or for
any additional expenses occasioned thereby. Dates, Program Details
and Tour costs, although given in good faith and based on tariffs,
exchange rates and other information current at the time of printing,
are subject to change at or before the time of departure. No revisions
of the printed itinerary or its included features are anticipated; however, the right is reserved to make any changes, with or without
notice, that might become necessary, with the mutual understanding
that any additional expenses will be paid by the individual passenger.
Baggage and personal effects are the sole responsibility of the owners at all times. If the entire program is cancelled for any reason, participants shall have no claim other than for a full refund. By forwarding
the deposit, the passenger certifies that he/she has no physical, mental or other condition of disability that would create a hazard for himself/herself or other passengers and accepts the terms of this contract set out herein and in more specific pre-departure passenger
information. The airlines and other transportation companies concerned are not to be held responsible for any act, omission, or event,
during the time passengers are not on board their conveyances. The
passage contract in use, when issued, shall constitute the sole contract between the company(ies) and the passenger and/or purchaser
of this trip.
CANCELLATION-In addition to airline cancellation penalties, all cancellations for any reason whatsoever will be subject to a $250 per person
administrative fee. {Please note that you may choose, at the time of
cancellation, to apply the withheld administrative fee to a future AHI
travel program that will operate in the current calendar year or year
following.} Cancellation from 120 days to 90 days prior to departure
will result in forfeiture of 10% of the entire cost of the trip per person; 89 days to 31 days, 50% of the trip cost per person; cancellation
from 30 days up to the time of departure will result in 100% forfeiture
of the entire cost of the trip. TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE IS
