More about our ocean cruises to Turkey

You could experience a nautical journey from the past with tall ship cruises, immersing yourself in the myths and legends of the Aegean. Or enjoy a relaxing voyage aboard the Celestyal Journey, where you can take advantage of all the amenities of a floating resort. Whichever ship you choose, an ocean cruise across the Adriatic is a phenomenal way to see some of this region's most historic sites.  

As Turkey's largest city, Istanbul is a melting pot of cultures with a history that spans over two millennia. From the iconic Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque to the bustling Grand Bazaar and serene Bosphorus, Istanbul offers a captivating blend of ancient landmarks and vibrant markets.  

Home to one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the Mediterranean, Ephesus provides a window into the ancient world. (Aren't you curious to see what a toilet looked like in 2 BC?) Other highlights in Ephesus include the Library of Celsus - thought to hold around 12,000 precious scrolls, the Temple of Artemis, and the Terrace Houses, with marble-lined halls, exquisite mosaics, and stunning frescoes that offer insights into daily life in Roman times.

Then there's Pergamon, another ancient city with its rich history still evident in its archaeological sites such as the Acropolis, the Asklepion healing centre, and the stunning theatre.
