“TravelQuest International invites you to join our North Africa Total Solar Eclipse & Ancient Wonders cruise, March 21 - April 6, 2006, for the 4-minute total eclipse of the Sun on March 29th.
This cruise aboard the Corinthian II, our all-suite private yacht, will begin in Malaga, Spain and end in Athens, Greece. Ports of call will focus on ancient Roman, Phoenician, and Greek including the amazing ruins of Leptis Magna, Carthage and Cyrene. Any lover of ancient history will thoroughly enjoy this amazing itinerary.
We will be joined by experienced study leaders Owen Gingerich and Dr. Carolyn Sumners, who will provide insightful astronomy lectures during the cruise. On eclipse day March 29, we will position the Corinthian II near the Libyan coast to witness midnight at noon, as the eclipse plays itself out against the background of this ancient land.
Corinthian II accommodates only 114 guests in 57 suites (some with private balconies), each affording sweeping sea views with an elegantly appointed sitting area and marble accented bathroom. Fine cuisine prepared by European chefs is served in the open-seating restaurant - dine when and with whom you wish. The Corinthian II is served by 70 experienced European officers and crew, a ratio of almost 1.5 staff to each guest, assuring you the highest level of personal attention. And best of all, you unpack just once!
With this fantastic itinerary, and great viewing prospects for the longest total eclipse in recent years, this cruise will sell out quickly. Make your reservation today by completing our Online Reservation Form (button below)
