to the monumental splendour of Norman Sicily,
our itineraries have been meticulously planned to
reveal as much as possible of the extraordinary
wealth of natural beauty and classical history that
the Mediterranean has to offer.

THE BENEFITS OF SMALL SHIP CRUISING
The Aegean Odyssey is a
premium class ship that
has been especially rebuilt
to cater for cruising in the
coastal waters of the central
and southern Mediterranean. The vessel provides the
best features of a mid-size ship such as passenger
space and choice of restaurants, with the personal
service and intimate surroundings of a small ship.
CRUISE IN COMFORT, RELAX IN STYLE
Originally a mid-size
vessel carrying up to
570 passengers, the
Aegean Odyssey’s
new configuration of
generously-sized suites,
junior suites and staterooms, with and without
balconies, means she now accommodates fewer
than 380 guests, offering the sophisticated traveller
every comfort at sea.
Terms and conditions: Travel insurance is not included. Prices are per person in UK pounds sterling, based on double occupancy. Prices include all meals,
wine with dinner on board, shore excursions and onboard gratuities, flights, transfers and porterage. No single supplement offer is not combinable with
cabin upgrade offers. Other terms and conditions apply, see brochure for details. Voyages to Antiquity is a company independent of National Magazine

of Malta’s history to life. Or perhaps you’ll head for the resort of
Sliema or Malta’s capital, Valletta, for the best in shopping.
bEACH RESORtS
sparkling history and culture
Malta offers a host of historic architecture dating back to the
Knights of St. John. There are also the delights of the Ta’Qali
crafts village where you can see traditional skills such as glass
blowing. And for those with a nose for wine, there are vineyards
to visit where you can find out how local wine is made, as well
as sample it.

If you have a passion for diving, then you’ll love the underwater
world waiting to be explored around Malta and its sister island,
Gozo, which is just a short half hour ferry journey away. Ideal for
beginners and experienced divers alike, there are such delights
as reefs, caves, World War 2 shipwrecks and even Roman
architectural sites.
