Pharaoh's Wake – Alexandria & Rhodes

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 11 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on November 17, 2027, visiting Alexandria, Haifa, Limassol, Antalya, Rhodes and Kusadasi. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. 5 countries (Egypt, Israel, Cyprus, Türkiye and Greece) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 13 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Rotterdam. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. 11 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Piraeus (Athens) and come back with stories from Egypt, Israel, Cyprus, Türkiye and Greece.
