Sail from the UK to Turkey, taking in all the Mediterranean favourites and some of Western Europe’s classic cities on this unique adventure. Experience everything from the fascinating history of Athens and Rome to the vibrant culture of Valencia and the exquisite architecture of Bruges. Enjoy the freedom to relax under the Tuscan sun or visit iconic landmarks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Hopping a cargo ship with just a few other privileged passengers and a hearty crew is a one-off experience and a great way to see the sites while enjoying the peacefulness of the high seas. Better still, sleep in your own bed every night and only unpack once on your holiday.

On 07 June the Australian Government issued an updated travel warning for East Timor strongly advising against travel to East Timor because of the extremely dangerous security situation. Australians in the country are advised to leave. The Travel Warning remains at Category 5 - Do Not Travel.
On Tuesday 07 June we have taken the decision to cancel the remainder of our East Timor trips scheduled to depart in 2006. All travellers will be notified and given the opportunity to transfer to another trip or obtain a full refund (land content only). We very much regret having to take this action and our thoughts and sympathies are with the people of East Timor during this troubled time.
We are confident of being able to resume our normal schedule of trips to East Timor in 2007 and hope that those travellers who have had to cancel their plans this year will travel with us to East Timor in 2007.
