Later in the afternoon, head to the Field of Light where you will witness the sun set over Uluru followed by the magical light display topped off with dinner under the stars.

The evening seamlessly segues into an exclusive dining event at Table 131° among the dunes. While listening to the mesmerizing night sounds of the desert, you will feast on four delicious courses matched with the finest Australian wines.

Explore Machu Picchu – the Lost City of the Incas – much of which still remains a mystery even though it was discovered largely intact more than a century ago. This archaeological complex has been thoroughly excavated to reveal the wonders of the Inca Empire at its height. The setting high above sea level in a tropical mountain forest is equally dramatic. You will also browse magnificent Inca landmarks in Cusco, the capital of the ancient Inca Empire, that were built to exacting standards yet without mortar.

Special Note: As this is an active program that takes place at high altitudes, we strongly recommend that all guests consult with their physician regarding their ability to participate prior to signing up. Guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour. This program is not recommended for guests traveling with a wheelchair or with walking difficulties due to the amount of walking, steps and uneven ground.

DAY 1

Following disembarkation from the ship in Pisco, you will transfer to the Lima Airport for your flight to Cusco. Before boarding, you will enjoy lunch at a restaurant in Lima.

After flying into Cusco, you will transfer to the JW Marriott Hotel in Cusco or a similar hotel in Cusco for dinner and to overnight. All of the rooms at the JW Marriott have an oxygen-enriched system to help you acclimate to the altitude. This upgrade service has been included in this package.

DAY 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will drive to the train station and board the Vistadome train for Aguas Calientes. Upon arriving there, you will drive to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore this Lost City of the Incas. Lunch at a local restaurant.

Constructed as a royal retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 1400s, Machu Picchu was abandoned less than 100 years later, its population probably devastated by smallpox. Because Spanish conquistadors never found this hidden city, it was largely intact when explorer Hiram Bingham discovered it in 1911.

Architectural highlights include the Temple of the Sun, designed much like the one in Cusco, several other temples, hundreds of terraces and a mysterious carved stone situated on a raised platform that towers above the plaza. The stone may have been used for astronomical observations, but no one knows for certain.

The Inca had no written language, so there is no record of Machu Picchu’s ultimate purpose. Scholars are still striving to uncover clues as to its mysteries.

After visiting Machu Picchu, you will re-board the Vistadome train and journey back to Ollantaytambo. Upon arriving to the train station, you will transfer back to your hotel in Cusco for dinner and to overnight.

DAY 3

After enjoying breakfast, check out and transfer to the sacred site of Koricancha, a Dominican Convent of Santo Domingo that was built on the foundations of the Temple of the Sun, the most sumptuous temple in the Inca Empire. The curved, mortar-less masonry wall at the west end of the church is considered to be one of the greatest existing examples of Inca stonework.

Then, you will see Sacsayhuaman fortress. Strategically located on a hill overlooking the city, the fortress was constructed without mortar like many other Inca structures. Yet the enormous stones, weighing as much as 200 tons, fit so tightly that not even a thin blade of grass can slide between them. The craftsmanship is a stunning example of the Incas’ sophisticated construction techniques and architectural skills.

After this visit, you will transfer to the airport for the flights to Lima and on to Trujillo, where you will re-board the ship. Box lunch included in Lima.

What to Bring

Cathedrals, churches, and other religious sites require conservative dress. Both males and females should cover their arms, legs and shoulders.

• Local standards dictate a neat, clean outfit for dining in restaurants and touring urban areas. For men: long trousers and a shirt with a collar. For ladies: trousers or a knee-length or longer skirt with a modest top. Formal clothing is not necessary.

• A sweater or lightweight jacket for the cooler evening temperatures common in highland regions.

• A lightweight preferably non-plastic raincoat or poncho and an umbrella.

• Comfortable walking shoes with low or no heels. Sandals may not be comfortable for some sightseeing.

• Sunglasses with a strap, sunscreen, a sunhat and insect repellent.

• Walking sticks are prohibited in Machu Picchu unless they are needed by guests with mobility problems.

Local Currency

Peru’s currency is the Sol (S/.). The exchange rate with the U.S. dollar varies. Some venues accept U.S. dollars.

Electricity

The current is 220 volts AC. In most hotel bathrooms, there is an electrical outlet with 110 volts for electric shavers, but this should not be used for travel irons or hair dryers. Most hotel rooms are equipped with hairdryers and adaptors however we recommend bringing your own universal travel adaptor.

Luggage

For domestic flights in Peru, it is permitted to check one piece of 23Kg (50 pounds) per person and 1 carry-on of 10Kg (22 pounds) per person. Excess luggage will be subject to fees imposed by the airline and will be the responsibility of each guest, payable to the airline when checking in for your flights.

Carriage of Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines on internal flights per airline regulations (subject to change as each airline has their own regulations)

1. Guests must obtain a doctor’s certificate mentioning their medical condition and the need to carry this equipment with them on their flights.

Explore the great outdoors by biking through the mountains, climbing among boulders to a summit, rappelling down the side of a mountain and hiking the oldest trail in Patagonia.

DAY 2

After breakfast, meet your local representative for a transfer to the airport. Check in for a flight to Bariloche.

Upon arrival, you will transfer to the Correntoso Lake and Spa Hotel in the heart of the Argentine Patagonia. Founded in 1917, the hotel is located near the mouth of Correntoso River, where it enters Lake Nahuel Huapi at the foot of the Andes.

After check-in, enjoy a 3-course lunch at Las Balsas or a similar venue.

Then enjoy a pleasant bike ride from the hotel to the laid-back town of Villa La Angostura, where you will be treated to a Patagonian ice cream before returning to the hotel for dinner.

NOTE: The mountain bike trail chosen will depend upon the weather and the physical conditions of the bikers. The maximum altitude reached during this tour is 928 meters (3045 feet) above sea level and the minimum is 780 meters (2559 feet) above sea level.

DAY 3

After breakfast at the hotel and checking out, you will transfer to the pier and board a private boat for a scenic cruise across Lake Nahuel Huapi to Victoria Island. Along the way, you will enjoy a cup of maté tea and alpine views of Cerro López and Cerro Capilla.

You will disembark at the island’s Playa del Toro pier, where the trekking will begin. The guides will select a hiking path according to the group’s physical abilities. Maximum elevation for this hike will be 250 meters (820 feet). Trail surfaces include boardwalks and mostly wide natural paths The elevation gain/loss is 200-500 feet depending on the option chosen on the day.

While stopping to view cave paintings, you will begin to understand the long history of human presence on this island. You will then ascend to a viewpoint from which you can observe Cerro Millaqueo, Isla de los Gansos and the surrounding Andes mountain range. Trail surfaces include boardwalks and mostly wide natural paths, which are not strenuous.

The journey will continue to La Escuelita, a school that also serves as a central place of community for the local people. From there, you will descend to Totoras, a small municipality on the other side of the island. The beach there is sheltered by trees that include pataguas, myrtles, monkey puzzles and larch. Trail surfaces include boardwalks and mostly wide natural paths with uneven ground.

You will continue on through the Swiss Vallecito up to the Central Zone and on to a nursery to see how the surrounding woodlands are being reforested with native species. The next stop will be the house of Anchorena, a school for park rangers and a museum with exhibits that showcase cave paintings, canoes and the lifestyle of the indigenous people that once lived in the area.

You will then hike north along a coastal path to Aserradero Viejo, where you will notice the difference between the native forest and the invasive one. You may spot deer or pheasants along the way. Towards the end of the hike, the types of vegetation will change, all of which the guide will point out and explain. Once you descend to the Bay of Antepuerto, lunch will be served.

After lunch, we return to the boat and navigate back to the pier with drinks and blankets in case of a late-afternoon chill.

DAY 4

After breakfast you will drive to Bahía López and board a private boat. This side of the lake is one of the most stable places to navigate, and the depth of Brazo Tristeza gives the sensation of traveling through Nordic fjords, protected from the wind and with little waves that ensures calm waters on days of Patagonian winds.

While cruising, you will pass a beautiful glacially formed landscape full of wildlife. You may spot birds such as great grebes, coots and condors. If it is a clear day, you may see Mount Tronador in the distance. It is the region’s highest mountain and always snow-covered.

Upon disembarking, you will hike for about two hours through the forest to a waterfall. There black-crowned night-herons often feed on the trout in the waters.

A gourmet 3-course lunch will follow back at the glamping site. After which, a boat will take you back to the dock, from which you will transfer to Llao Llao Hotel. Located in the Nahuel Huapi National Park, the 1940s Canadian-style hotel features architectural elements such as Norman roof tiles, cypress logs and local green stone. The hotel rises from the hill between Lake Moreno and Nahuel Huapi and is framed by Mount López and the majestic Mount Tronador. The scenery is reminiscent of alpine climes.

Dinner will be served at the hotel, where you will spend the next two evenings.

DAY 5

Today's adventure will begin by walking the oldest trekking path in Patagonia, the one that the Palotinos priests followed through the forests to the longstanding refuge of Cerro López.

This is just a warmup before reaching the viewpoint of Brazo Tristeza, from which you may hear the waterfall that descends from Cerro Capilla. This is the part of the adventure where you climb among boulders as you ascend to the first summit. There you will participate in a ritual of adding a rock to the stone pyramid made one stone at a time by previous visitors.

From there a short hike leads to the stone of the Lion King, a natural balcony over Brazo Tristeza with majestic Cerro Tronador as the background.

To reach the summit is a 3 km (1.86 mile) walk. Although it’s not strenuous, you should be in good physical condition.

You will then rappel down the mountain, where lunch awaits you, during which you will hear stories about the native Tehuelches, their culture and how they cooked in ancient times.

On the return, you will cross Gandalf Bridge and follow the Flintstones Trail to the Brazo Tristeza viewpoint and continue down to the beach.

In total you will rappel 30 meters (98 feet) from the summit to the end. It will take between 5-7 minutes to descend.

Behold the staggeringly beautiful natural phenomenon Iguazú Falls up close and from both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides, two perspectives that will leave you in awe. The surrounding national park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and Iguazú is its star attraction. This massive semicircular cascade is made up of 275 separate waterfalls that thunder down sheer cliffs in a majestic display of nature’s raw power.

It consists of 275 waterfalls that form a massive and magnificent cascade that stretches for nearly 1.7 miles. Its waters thunder through a jungle of sub-tropical greenery on the border between Argentina and Brazil.

As you travel on foot along the lower-circuit catwalks on the Argentinian side of the falls, you will enjoy a unique perspective of Iguazú. You will be close enough to feel the spray and energy that this enormous wall of falling water creates.

Following a buffet lunch within the national park, you will ride the open-air Iguazú ecological train to Devil’s Throat, where the waterfall really flaunts its unbridled power. There, the water crashes down into a milky abyss, creating rainbow after rainbow.

Nepal’s colorful capital city Kathmandu reflects 2,000 years of peaceful co-existence and exudes a unique blend of Hinduism and Buddhism, which is distinctly Nepalese in character.

Upon arrival, you will be assisted with visa issuance and baggage collection.

Following breakfast, you will visit Patan, one of three royal cities in the valley. Commissioned by India’s great emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century, this World Heritage Site within four stupas is known as the City of Fine Arts.

The temples around the main square are impressive, as is the Patan Museum, which is housed within a picturesque palace setting. In an international campaign by UNESCO for safeguarding monuments in Kathmandu Valley, the Austrian government joined hands with Nepal to restore and preserve Patan.

Newari architectural style blossomed in the form of temples, palaces, residences and squares between the 12th and 18th centuries, representing a timelessness in Nepalese architecture and its definitive characteristics, often guided by religious and socio-cultural norms.

You will see Patan’s Living Goddess, who typically acknowledges greetings of devotees from the balcony of her temple residence. Known as kumaris, Nepal’s living goddesses live in seclusion and rarely speak in public.

After a private audience with the Goddess, enjoy lunch at ‘The Lawn’.

Return to the hotel for some time at leisure.

In the evening, visit Pashupatinath temple, a World Heritage site situated near Dwarika’s and witness the Aarti ceremony, a daily prayer ritual. Pashupatinath is one of the holiest Hindu temples and a major pilgrimage place dedicated to the god Shiva. Situated amidst a natural setting on the bank of the sacred Bagmati river, the temple built in pagoda style has a gilded roof and richly carved silver doors. Visitors may view from the east bank, as only Hindus are permitted to enter.

Dinner is at Dwarika’s Nepali fine dining Krishnarpan restaurant which specializes in Newari cuisine. The interiors and experience symbolize traditional banquets favored by Nepali Kings and royalty in honor of visiting dignitaries.

Overnight in Kathmandu

DAY 4

After breakfast, drive to the World Heritage city of Bhadgaon, also known as Bhaktapur. Founded in the 9th century, Bhaktapur, also known as the City of Devotees, is revered for its medieval art and architecture.

Following our visit, return to the Dwarika’s for lunch and leisure time.

Later, drive to Kathmandu’s Durbar Square in the heart of the city, also known as the Hanuman Dhoka Palace square, after the Hindu monkey god Hanuman, who acts as a protector via a huge stone impression next to the main entrance. Kathmandu valley has three Durbar Squares, all UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This ancient seat of Nepalese royalty displays spectacular architecture, reflecting the skill of the Newari artists over several centuries. There’s a great variety of temples dedicated to different Hindu gods and goddess, mainly constructed between the 15th and 18th century.

There’s time for individual exploration at Asan Bazar, a great local scene, before boarding trishaws for a ride through the narrow lanes of the old city to “Thamel”, Kathmandu’s hip street. Pulsating Thamel has become a world address for international trekkers, mountaineers and curio shoppers looking for a bargain. Being in the heart of Kathmandu, this bazaar feels like the Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California. It's full of one-to-two-star hotels and numerous big/small restaurants and lodges catering to a vast category of tourists.

Enjoy cocktails and dinner at the famous ‘One Tree Sam’s bar’.

Ancient Egypt will come to life as you explore Luxor landmarks such as the Karnak Temple complex and Luxor Temple, which is connected to Karnak by an avenue lined with sphinxes. Browsing artifacts from both temples in the Luxor Museum will add to your understanding of the ancient world. More wonders await in the Valley of the Kings, where you will visit King Tutankhamen’s tomb, and in the Valley of the Queens, where you will behold Queen Nefertari’s tomb. Cruising the Nile River will add yet another dimension.

Special Note: Guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

DAY 1

Upon disembarking the ship in Safaga, you will meet the guide and depart for the 3.5-hour drive to Luxor.

Upon arrival, you will enjoy lunch and then visit the Karnak temple. Located about two miles north of the Luxor Temple but connected to it by an impressive avenue of sphinxes, Karnak Temple was the most important sanctuary of ancient Egypt and the heart of the cult of the god Amon. Each pharaoh added his own contribution to the temple over the ensuing 2,000 years.

The Ptolemies erected the massive first pylon you will see. Past the second pylon, which is guarded by a pair of huge statues of Ramses II, you will find the great hypo-style hall, the largest hall of any temple in the world. It spans 50,000 square feet and contains 134 enormous columns. You may notice that some of the columns still have traces of the brilliant paint that originally covered them. The third pylon leads to the centre court and past the fourth pylon is the 97-foot-high obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut, carved from a solid piece of pink granite.

As you pass through successive pylons and courts, you will journey back in time until you reach the oldest part of the temple, built by the pharaohs of the middle kingdom around 2000 B.C. At the south end of the temple, you will find the sacred lake where ceremonial boats took part in the worship of Amon.

Cameras and video cameras are permitted inside the Karnak Temple free of charge.

Following the tour of Karnak Temple, you will visit Luxor Temple, which was originally built during the reign of Amenophis the III and then expanded by Ramses II, who added a statue of himself and two obelisks.

Today, only one of the statues remains at the Luxor Temple; Mohamed Ali gave the other one to Louis Philippe in 1831 and it is displayed at the Concorde in Paris. After Alexander the Great rebuilt the sanctuary in the 4th century B.C., the Romans rebuilt portions of it and then the Muslims built a mosque in the temple.

Cameras and video cameras are permitted inside Luxor Temple.

Continuing on, you will transfer to your hotel for check in and then depart for the Luxor Museum. This marvelous museum overlooks the west bank of the Nile River and has an amazing collection of ancient artifacts. Displays range from magnificent pharaonic art to items used in everyday life, such as pottery and jewelry, including a carefully selected assortment of items from the Theban temples and necropolis.

Back at your hotel, you will enjoy a buffet dinner before retiring for the evening.

DAY 2

Following a buffet breakfast, you will cross over the Nile to the West Bank to visit the Valley of the Kings, hidden in the foothills of the Gourma Mountains. More than 60 tombs of pharaohs and noblemen have been excavated in this valley. The kings’ formal names and titles are inscribed in their tombs, along with their images and statues. Between the 18th and 20th dynasties, the kings abandoned the Memphis area and built their tombs in Thebes.

Enjoy a special visit to the Seti I Tomb, the longest and one of the most beautiful tombs in the valley. It is still recognized as an elaborately decorated monument from the times of Seti I and his son, Ramesses II. The most fascinating aspects of the tomb are the well-crafted decorations that brought antiquity to vivid life.

Next you will visit King Tutankhamun's tomb where his mummy still rests. If time permits, you may look into one or two other tombs in the area.

Continuing on, you will enjoy a photo stop at the Hatshepsut Temple, whose unique design features a series of grand terraces extending up a cliff with rows of square granite columns blending in with the mountainside.

From there, you will proceed to Valley of the Queens, where you will visit Queen Nefertari’s Tomb, which is known for its lavish decoration and colors. It is one of the largest and most spectacular in the Valley of the Queens. Nefertari Meritmut was an Egyptian queen and the first of the Great Royal Wives of Ramesses the Great.

NOTE: There are steps (up to 20 per chamber) to go down into the various tombs and the ground surrounding the tombs is uneven and dusty. It is also extremely hot. Cameras and video cameras may be used during your visit, but are not permitted inside the tombs.

Next, a photo stop will be made at the Colossi of Memnon. This structure was originally built as a mortuary temple in Thebes and guarded by two gigantic statues on the outer gates. All that remains today are the 75-foot-high, 1,000-ton statues of Amenhotep III. Though damaged by nature, the statues are impressive nonetheless. Cameras and video cameras are permitted free of charge.

You will next embark on a traditional wooden Dahabeya boat for a lunch cruise along the Nile.

Once you return to the hotel, you will check-out and depart for the 3.5-hour drive back to Safaga. Upon arrival, you will proceed directly to the pier and re-embark the ship.

After breakfast at the hotel, you will drive into the countryside towards the Ajanta Caves. In the early 19th century, a group of British officers accidentally came upon these caves, which were buried under debris and screened by foliage. The first of these caves was hollowed out from the site of the cliff in the 2nd century B.C.

Strung out in a sweeping horseshoe shape in an inner fold of the hills, the caves were a secluded retreat for Buddhist monastic orders and yet offered easy access to the trade routes that swung past here to the coast. With little more than hammers and chisels, the monks painstakingly and slowly created underground shrines, chapels and monasteries, where they lived, taught and carried out ritual performances. The 30 caves of Ajanta, some unfinished, span a period of 800 years and contain numerous images of the Buddha.

Following an exploration of the caves, you will return to the hotel in Aurangabad where the remainder of the day is at your leisure. Lunch and dinner are on your own.

Day 3

After breakfast at the hotel, you drive into the picturesque hills to the north and visit the Ellora Caves. This magnificent UNESCO World Heritage site contains 34 Hindu, Jain and Buddhist caves cut into volcanic lava cliffs.

The once-abandoned, more than 2,000-year-old caves lie near an ancient trade route and are believed to be the work of priests and craftsmen who used the route. The carvings, ornamentation and frescoes inside tell the stories of how these three religions evolved.

The most marvelous cave temple is Kailash. The world’s largest monolithic sculpture, it was sculpted out of a rock by 7,000 laborers over a 150-year period. The story of its construction is inscribed on the copper plate grant of King Krishna I, under whose patronage the temple was carved. Architecturally and sculpturally, art historians consider this to be the finest cave temple in the world.

Following your exploration of the Ellora Caves, you will return to the hotel for lunch on your own.

In the afternoon set out for a city tour of Aurangabad, a city originally known as Khadki, that former slave Malik Ambar founded in 1610. The city’s name was later changed to Aurangabad in honor of the great Mughal ruler Aurangzeb.

While here, you will see the revered Bibi Ka Maqbara tomb, known as the Black Taj because it is so similar to the Taj Mahal in Agra. Afterwards, you will visit a Himroo weaving workshop, where fine shawls, sarees and textiles are produced. Himroo merchandise was originally woven with pure gold and silver threads for royal families.

Return to your hotel where the evening is at your leisure with dinner on your own.

Day 4

Tea, coffee and juices will be served in the lobby prior to transferring to the airport for your early morning flight to Mumbai. Upon arrival at the airport you will receive boarding passes and proceed through security. Your bags will be transported to the airport in a separate baggage van for an advance check-in.

Once you arrive in Mumbai you will transfer to the pier to re-board the ship. En-route enjoy, some of the highlights of Mumbai with a photo stop at the Victoria Terminus and the Gateway of India.

Note on walking and steps:

Ajanta Caves are carved into the side of a hill range. From the bottom, it takes 105 steps to get to the top which is typically an easy climb for anyone without walking difficulty. Once at the top, there is a gradual walk from one cave to the next. For guests with difficulties, our local operator can arrange Palanquins (a conveyance usually for one person that consists of an enclosed litter borne on the shoulders of men by means of poles) up and down as well as from one cave to the next, if necessary.

Ellora Caves are on ground level over a spread-out area. Battery buses shuttle between caves. The only place where a climb is encountered is at the Kailash Temple where there are easy steps however once again those with walking difficulties can be carried up and down.

Behold the most revealing landmarks around Cairo and come away with a greater understanding of Egypt’s storied past. Few experiences are quite so mesmerizing as standing before the Great Pyramid of Giza – the sole remaining Wonder of the Ancient World – and the colossal Sphinx in its shadow. A look at the Citadel fortress and a 14th-century bazaar add more intrigue, while the treasures of King Tut are showcased within the Grand Egyptian Museum. The deeper you delve into Egypt’s history, the more captivating it becomes.

Special Note: Guests traveling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

Note: This program involves extensive walking over uneven ground and is thus not suitable for guests with walking difficulties or for those who require a wheelchair.

DAY 1

Upon disembarking the ship in Safaga, you will be met and transferred to the Hurghada airport for the flight to Cairo. A box lunch from the ship or a snack at the airport (TBA) will be provided.

Upon landing in Cairo, you will visit a medieval Islamic fortress known simply as The Citadel and the adjacent Mosque of Muhammad Ali, which is often called the Alabaster Mosque due to the extensive use of that stone throughout the building. The mosque is the largest such structure built in Cairo during the first half of the 19th century and looks impressive even from a distance.

Later in the afternoon, you will browse Khan El-Khalili, an open-air bazaar established in the 14th century. As you meander through the market’s labyrinthine alleyways, you will find everything from handcrafted jewelry to carpets and clothing. The atmosphere is wonderfully vibrant and the aroma of fresh-ground spices wafting through the air only adds to the ambiance.

Afterwards, you will transfer to the Four Seasons First Residence (or a similar hotel) for check-in. Dinner will be served at the hotel, but the remainder of the day will be at your leisure.

DAY 2

Following an early-morning breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will drive to the Step Pyramid of Sakkara, which overlooks Djoser’s mortuary complex. Dating from 2700 BC, the Step Pyramid is the oldest stone structure in the world and was designed by Imhotep for King Djoser. The complex also contains 16 other pyramids in various stages of preservation.

Because the necropolis complex was buried beneath the sands for much of the past two millennia, even the sizable mortuary surrounding Djoser’s pyramid was not unearthed until 1924. As a result, many of the mastaba tombs have been superbly preserved with both their structures and lavish interior decorations intact.

You will then travel to the legendary Great Pyramid of Giza, the sole remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. Built as a royal tomb for Cheops, it is the largest of a group of three pyramids. The other two pyramids were constructed to hold the mummified remains of the pharaoh’s son and successor Chephren and Chephren’s son, Mykerinus.

Southeast of the Great Pyramid stands the Sphinx, the monument of a mythical creature with the head of a man and the body of a lion. It was carved out of solid limestone around 2650 BC and faces east, probably to greet the rising sun and the return of life each day.

Following lunch at a nearby restaurant, you will visit the Grand Egyptian Museum, the world’s largest archaeological museum. Of all its priceless artifacts, the items from King Tutankhamen’s tomb is the highlight, as the full collection has never been displayed in one place before.

After this enlightening experience, you will transfer to the Cairo airport for the return flight to Hurghada. Upon arriving, you will continue on to the pier and re-board the cruise ship.

DAY 1

Upon disembarking the ship in Safaga, you will be met by your guide and depart for the 3.5-hour escorted drive to Luxor. Restrooms are available on the coach, therefore no stops are planned along the way.

Upon arrival in Luxor, you will enjoy lunch before crossing the Nile River by motor boat that is covered but open on the sides. There are a few steps down to the reach the boat.

You will then proceed to the Valley of the Kings in the West Bank, where you will find the remarkable tombs of Egypt’s ancient kings, their families and other Egyptian nobility. Ample time is allotted for you to fully explore the area and enter three tombs of your choice. There are numerous steps to enter the tombs and the ground is uneven.

You will next stop for photos at Hatshepsut Temple, a mortuary temple built by Hatshepsut, the only woman to rule as a pharaoh. Built into the mountainside, it stands as an incredible monument to the powers held by the pharaohs.

A second photo stop will follow at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues that originally flanked the entrance to Amenhotep III's mortuary temple. Although the temple was destroyed in an earthquake and most of its remnants have long since disappeared, these magnificent statues still stand guard, albeit over an open field.

You will then visit Luxor Temple. This renowned ancient structure was originally built during the reign of Amenophis the III and then expanded by Ramses II, who added a statue of himself and two obelisks. Only one obelisk remains at the temple; the other one was given by Mohamed Ali to Louis Philippe in 1831 and is displayed at the Concorde in Paris to this day.

After Alexander the Great rebuilt the sanctuary in the 4th century B.C., the Romans rebuilt portions of it and the Muslims then built a mosque in the temple. Cameras and video cameras are permitted inside Luxor Temple. The ground is uneven here.

After your museum visit, you will visit the only remaining wonders of the Ancient World: the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx.

The Giza plateau consists of three major pyramids or tombs built by the pharaohs Cheops, his son Chephren and Chephern's son Mykerinus, where their mummified bodies would rest for eternity.

The Great Sphinx is in front of the pyramids of Chephren as the guardian of this ancient mortuary complex. This monumental statue with the body of a lion and head of a human was carved from a single piece of Giza plateau bedrock and is considered a national symbol of ancient and modern Egypt.

At each site you will have ample time to walk around and take photos, although no inside visits are permitted. Be aware of the vendors selling merchandise and camel rides, which you should do only at your own risk.

Lunch will be offered in a deluxe restaurant before driving back to Cairo Airport for the flight to Hurghada. Upon landing, you will be met and transferred to Safaga to re-board the ship.

With the arrival of the Mughals in 1526 led by Babur, Agra entered a completely new era during the reign of emperors Akbar, Jehangir and Shah Jahan. Akbar made it a great center for learning, art, commerce and culture. Its cosmopolitan bazaars and its strategic location on the river Jamuna, was altogether a worthier setting for the focus of an empire.

Upon arrival in Agra check-in to your hotel.

After lunch and some time at leisure, proceed to World Heritage Agra Fort, credited to Emperor Akbar, India’s great visionary. Astonishing palaces, mosques, and audience halls contained within its massive walls of red sandstone are embellished by an artistic fusion of Hindu and Islamic traditions.

Next proceed to visit the Taj Mahal at sunset. With its incredible lacy white grandeur, it is perhaps the most perfect architectural monument in the world. In memory of his wife, the great Mughal emperor Shah Jehan planned this most extravagant and incomparable monument built for love. Although amazingly graceful from any angle, it is the close-up detail, which is really astounding. At sunset, the monument appears to change its hue, tinted by the glow of the setting sun.

Back at your hotel, and after some time to freshen up, enjoy the classical dance form of Kathak in the ballroom. Dinner will follow.

Day 3

This morning you will discover the Taj Mahal at dawn. Coffee, tea, juices and rolls are served in the lobby prior to your departure.

Return to your hotel for breakfast after which you will have some optional activities to choose from.

Morning options

•Drive an hour into the Indian countryside to visit Fatehpur Sikri, the red sandstone former capital of the Mughal empire. The city lived between A.D. 1571 up to 1585 and then became a ghost town, abandoned, possibly due to complexities with the water systems.

•Visit the Tomb of Itmad-Ud-Daulah in the old city, the first Mughal structure pioneering the extensive use of `pietra dura’, the inlay work of marble, so characteristic of the Taj Mahal. This mausoleum is small and squat when compared to the Taj, but the more human scale has its own attraction, and the skillfully patterned surface of the tomb is exquisite.

•At the hotel, Agra’s leading astrologer will be available for consultation. Appointments for an analysis of your personal horoscope can be made at the Oceania Cruises Hospitality desk

•Take a look at some of Agra’s famous shopping …. Kohinoor, erstwhile jewelers to the Mughal court, featured in National Geographic. Old emerald necklaces, enamel, jewelry, silver, pocket watches in Gold and silver, textiles and embroidery form part of their private collection. The Marble Inlay factories steeped in this decorative art culture are also a specialty of Agra.

Return to your hotel for lunch.
