Highlights: Each cruise has been carefully designed to give you the freedom to explore at your own pace. ■ ■ ■ Sharm el-Sheikh: Located between the desert of the Sinai Peninsula and the Red Sea, the sandy beaches and coral reefs of Sharm el-Sheikh offer so much.

Aqaba: Jordan’s only coastal city is the gateway to the Wadi Rum desert. Gaze in awe as the sun sets over the red sand dunes for an ethereal experience and taste tea amongst friendly locals at Palm Beach. Visit Mamluk Castle, the site of one the First World War’s most famous battles, and explore the Sherif al-Hussein bin Ali Mosque, an architectural vision and place of worship. Haifa: Bordered by Galilee, Haifa is northern Israel’s largest city. Take a cable car to the summit of Mount Carmel for exquisite views of the bay, or visit one of the city’s many museums, outdoor gardens, religious monuments or historic attractions. 51
