ecome a modern-day adventurer on this one-of-a-kind expedition that will have you exploring nine countries along the waters of the legendary seven seas—all from the comfort of a private jet. In Dubrovnik, Croatia, known as the “pearl of the Adriatic,” roam the palaces, monasteries, and churches within the protection of ancient city walls. From there, travel through villages and forests to picturesque Kotor, Montenegro, one of the Mediterranean’s best-preserved medieval towns. Along the Black Sea, discover Odesa, Ukraine, a port that once sheltered smugglers and pirates and served as home to literary giants Pushkin and Tolstoy. While in Baku, along the Caspian Sea, you’ll watch artisans weave famed Azerbaijani carpets and observe modern-day fire worshippers perform age-old rituals. In Dubai, a Persian Gulf gateway to the Indian Ocean, you’ll dine at a desert camp and watch expert falconers handle magnificent birds of prey. You’ll then fly to the Maldive Islands, a paradise of coral reefs and white-sand beaches. In Jordan, you’ll cruise the Red Sea and then choose among a visit to the lost desert city of Petra, a jeep safari through the archaeological wonderland of Wadi Rum, or a tour through the Greco-Roman city of Jerash on the Dead Sea. Other stops include Libya, where you’ll marvel at the spectacular statues and amphitheaters, and Istanbul, home of the Topkapi palace and Hagia Sophia church. All along your route, a team of distinguished guides and lecturers will share their wisdom and perspective.
