Imagine Cruising

From the ancient wonders of Cappadocia and Ephesus to the Mediterranean's sun-soaked shores, this Turkiye tour is elevated by adults-only elegance on board Oceania's Sirena.

Ten days unfold across Istanbul's domes and minarets, Cappadocia's honeycombed valleys, and the marble ruins of Ephesus, with caravanserais, thermal cascades and the poignant battlefields of Gallipoli woven through a fully escorted journey deep into Anatolia's ancient heart.

From Istanbul, embark Oceania's intimate Sirena for nine nights of adults-only sophistication, where elegant, refined dining and full-board comfort, complete with beer and wine at lunch and dinner, set the tone for island-hopping through sun-soaked Mediterranean waters. Greek island idylls give way to Sicily's sun-baked shores, the pastel cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, and Sardinia's glamorous harbours, before the cruise draws to a close in Rome, completing an immersion in two of the Mediterranean's most storied regions.
