In Venice, we organise an exclusive, private evening visit to St Mark’s Basilica with special lighting illuminating the spectacular mosaics. And in India, we include a 5-day tour of the highlights of India’s renowned Golden Triangle.

LOCAL EXPERIENCES, UNIQUE EVENTS

MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES IN EXCEPTIONAL DESTINATIONS Your time ashore is as important as your time on board, that’s why we include shore excursions in virtually every port of call. Where we don’t, it’s because your time ashore can be spent exploring independently. In Mykonos, it’s the perfect spot for people-watching from a café overlooking the sea.

Each passenger will be provided with a QuietVox headset, allowing you to hear the guide clearly even at the busiest of sites. Together with our special events which add local colour and flavour, your visits to these wonderful places will be as memorable as possible.

EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL EVENTS An evening in Venice – private evening visit to St Mark’s Basilica with special lighting illuminating the spectacular mosaics.

A taste of Morocco – during the visit to Fez enjoy a typical Moroccan lunch at the Palais Menebhi, a private palace originally built as a home to a Moroccan grand vizier.

Sicily’s palatial splendour – in Palermo, there will be an opportunity for a private visit to Palazzo Gangi, the magnificent Baroque palace famous for the banqueting scene in Visconti’s classic movie, The Leopard. (Group size is limited and a donation of US$55 per person towards restoration is required.)

Seville: river cruising and home of Flamenco – Aegean Odyssey can navigate the Guadalquivir River and berth in the heart of Seville, home to the Spanish flamenco dance. To fully appreciate the atmosphere of this wonderful city we have included a lively flamenco performance on board the ship.

Vineyards and wine tasting – in Bordeaux, the Loire Valley, Jerez and Oporto, you’ll be able to try the vintages and tour the extensive vineyards.

KNOWLEDGEABLE GUEST SPEAKERS

Alhambra Palace, Spain

ENRICH YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF REMARKABLE CIVILISATIONS For those who like to know more about the places they visit, our guest speaker programme will be invaluable.

With a series of lectures after dinner or during days at sea, develop your insight into the history and culture of the world’s greatest civilisations.

EXPERT GUEST SPEAKERS The guest speakers who accompany you are all first class. They have been carefully selected for their knowledge of the areas and ability to bring life into the history of the remarkable civilisations we visit. The guest speakers are featured on each itinerary page, but here is a taste of what to expect…

Dr Angela Smith, NADFS accredited speaker Angela is an art historian who holds a PhD in cultural history from Warburg Insitute, London University.

Her knowledge of art within its historical context is reflected in her recent publication: A Timeline of Art History (The Book Forge, 2012).

AEGEAN ODYSSEY

THE BEST OF SMALL SHIP CRUISING Classically elegant, but far from stuffy, Aegean Odyssey provides wonderful service and an intimate atmosphere on board. Carrying around 350 guests, Aegean Odyssey’s advantage is her size, and the ability to visit ports too small for larger vessels, navigate close to scenic islands, and even cruise inland.

CRUISE IN COMFORT, RELAX IN STYLE On board Aegean Odyssey you'll experience the finest traditions of cruising. With open-seating dining, inside or al fresco, a relaxed dress code, several bars and lounges, and an understated approach to evening entertainment, you’ll feel at home minutes after setting foot on board.

By day, the spacious decks provide the perfect place to unwind as you sail to scenic harbours and ancient sites.

Public spaces offer a classic elegance and the top deck is a wonderful spot to watch the world go by during the day or enjoy a nightcap looking at the stars in the evening. The Ambassador Lounge is where our speakers inform and our musicians entertain, whilst the Charleston Lounge is the perfect place to meet friends – old and new – with light music and a little dancing. During days at sea, enjoy the sun on the Lido Deck or cool off in the outdoor pool.

Start the day with an early morning yoga session or plan a visit to the Gym or Athena Health Spa. 10

WONDERFUL FOOD

IMPECCABLE SERVICE A TASTE OF THE WORLD The gastronomic culture of using the very best fresh local ingredients cooked in a simple but delicious style is the inspiration for the menus on board Aegean Odyssey. The elegant Marco Polo Restaurant has full waiter service and a casual country club elegance. The Terrace Cafe offers a combination of indoor and outdoor seating replicating the charm and ambience of a seaside trattoria.

Here, in the evenings, Tapas on the Terrace offers a selection of mouthwatering appetisers – try our calamari and empanadas, or pick from the wide range of authentic Italian pizzas.

IT’S OUR PEOPLE THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE After all is said and done, what passengers love most about Aegean Odyssey is the warm and intimate atmosphere.

Ships, like people, have personalities. On board Aegean Odyssey you are greeted as a returning family member even if it’s your first time on board. You’ll find smiles and welcomes from everyone, from the Captain to your cabin steward. And unlike a vast megaliner, it is easy to socialise and meet fellow passengers whose passions and interests are similar to your own.

Of all the nationalities, it is the Filipinos who carry the highest reputation for attention to detail. Fluent in English and always serving with a smile, our Filipino crew will win your hearts. Your cabin steward will refresh your stateroom before you even realise you need it.

Your waiter will remember whether you take tea or coffee, and the barman whether you like your Martini shaken or stirred. They, and the rest of our officers and crew, are dedicated to making your holiday a delightful experience.

MENU PREVIEW Appetiser: Shrimp Royale - Tiger prawns marinated in pink Champagne sauce on radicchio and endive Soup & Salad: West Indian Pumpkin & Ginger Soup Main Course: Glazed Barbarie Duck Supreme - In Grand Marnier sauce served with red cabbage and almond potato Desert: Warm Chocolate Souffle Cake - Served with raspberry sorbet

TRAVEL WITH THE EXPERTS Dr. Joyce Salisbury, Professor Emerita of History, University of Wisconsin Joyce grew up in Brazil and Mexico, then moved to the States and obtained a PhD in Medieval History from Rutgers University in New Jersey. She was endlessly curious about what shapes people’s actions, and thus focused on the history of religion and aspects of social history, like the history of sexuality.

Joyce was an award-winning teacher at the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay. When she retired, she could indulge her twin passions of writing books and giving lectures all over the world. Joyce is an author of more than ten books, including a best-selling western civilisation textbook, "The West in the World".

The terms and conditions apply to all passengers named on the booking form and the person signing the booking form Warrants that he or she is authorised to do so. All correspondence will be conducted with the lead person named on the booking form.

15 days or less

2. Deposits and final payment A deposit of AU$ 1,200 per person or 12.5% of the total holiday cost (whichever is the greater), along with the completed Booking Form is required to secure your reservation.

NZ$ deposit amount will be confirmed at time of booking. Your Travel Agent may also add their own separate Booking Fees at time of deposit. Final balance is due 90 days prior to departure. Full payment must be made at time of booking if made within 90 days of departure. We reserve the right to cancel your booking and apply the relevant cancellation charges (detailed below) if we do not receive all payments at the due time. All Travel Documents are only issued after final payment has been received by the company.

FLY FREE offers are subject to availability and capacity controlled and may require that additional funds be paid to ensure air ticketing conditions are met.

Distinctive Voyages Sales Date All promotions in this brochure are subject to availability and valid for sales from 1 February to 30 June 2016 unless withdrawn earlier. They may continue to be available for sale after the expiration date, or re-released as new offers.

Existing bookings on these promotional sailings that cancel and rebook do not qualify for these offers.

3. Changes by you Should you wish to make a change to your confirmed reservation you must notify us in writing as soon as possible. Whilst we will try to assist, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. When we can, a AU$100 per person amendment fee (AU$200 within 90 days) is payable plus any other charges imposed by your Travel Agent. A change of sailing date by the passenger within 90 days prior to departure will be treated as a cancellation. Your Travel Agent may also charge administration fees separately to Voyages to Antiquity.

The cancellation charge is based on the total invoice charge for all services. Your Travel Agent may also charge cancellation fees separately to Voyages to Antiquity.

5. Travel Insurance All International passengers should have fully comprehensive travel insurance valid from the date of deposit being made. We suggest you discuss with your Travel Agent the various insurance policies available. Policies can be purchased that provide protection in the event of trip cancellation, interruption, personal illness, injury, medical and baggage protection. Verification of your travel insurance policy may be required by Voyages to Antiquity.

6. Itinerary Changes The holidays featured in this brochure are planned many months in advance.

Occasionally, events can occur that will require changes (including cancellations) to be made to the published itineraries – both before and after bookings have been confirmed. Some changes are minor, but occasionally they can be a significant change.

Cancellations of, or changes to, itineraries may be made for a number of reasons including (but not limited to) war, civil unrest, industrial disruption/strikes, natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, adverse travel advisory warnings issued by Governmental organisations, insufficient bookings or to maintain and protect the safety of passengers, crew and the ship. A significant change with alternative arrangements, or cancellation and refund A significant change is defined as a change to either your initial embarkation port or to the disembarkation port from that in your published itinerary to a port in a different country and advised to you at least 15 days prior to your travel departure. You can choose to either accept the alternate arrangement(s) which we will advise to you, or to cancel your booking and receive a refund of moneys that you have paid to the travel agent for the services that were to be provided by Voyages to Antiquity.

Changes to any Port of call in your itinerary Changes to the order, or substitution, of any dates or times at the ports of call in the published itinerary are not considered a significant change and do not entitle you to any refunds or compensation. Normal cancellation fees will apply should you choose to cancel when advised of these Ports of call changes prior to your travel departure.

The ship’s captain is responsible for the safety of the ship, passengers and crew. The captain has absolute discretion in making any alterations during the cruise to the published itinerary as the captain considers necessary and no compensation or refunds apply. Your rights in all other situations In all other situations, neither Voyages to Antiquity nor the travel agent or any of their affiliates, subsidiaries, employees or agents have any liability to you and you will need to ensure that your travel insurance will compensate you for any and all delays, cancellations, or changes

to any part of your total travel itinerary that occur. This includes any airline or ground arrangements that you may have.

The Passenger Ticket/Passage Contract contains full terms and conditions for these exclusions.

7. Consideration for others

12. Final Travel Documentation

We expect all passengers to have consideration for other people. If in our reasonable opinion the behavior of any passenger is likely to cause damage, upset or distress to any third party or damage to property, the Company reserves the right to terminate that passenger’s cruise without prior notice. In these extreme circumstances no refunds will be made and the Company will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination of the cruise. The departure of the ship from any port will not be delayed for passengers who are not on board by the published departure time.

Travel documents including any air charter tickets are issued only after passport details have been received and final payment has been made to Voyages to Antiquity. In most cases the final documentation is sent no later than 30-21 days prior to scheduled departure.

It is the responsibility of the passenger(s) and for his travel agent to verify that the full name(s) on any cruise, land, or air charter arrangements and reservations are the same as listed on his/her passport. Voyages to Antiquity is not responsible for cancellation or pre-bookable fees imposed by any supplier due to incorrect names provided by the travel agent or guest.

8. Fitness and Eligibility The focus of the cruises featured in this brochure is on the extensive programme of included sightseeing and to fully participate in this you need to be reasonably fit and have no walking difficulties. In any event your mobility should not be an impediment to others on the guided tours. We also reserve the right to refuse to accept a booking without giving a reason.

9. Liability The liability of the Company and any other party that may be involved in providing services in connection with any of the holidays in this brochure may be limited where international conventions apply. These include the Warsaw Convention which relates to carriage by air and the Athens Convention which relates to carriage by sea. Travel on board the mv Aegean Odyssey is subject to the conditions of carriage issued by the ship operating company and travel on board aircraft to join the Aegean Odyssey is subject to the airline’s standard ticket conditions. Full details are available on request. The Company is not to be held responsible for any act, event or omission during the time passengers are not aboard the vessel. The Company acts only as an agent for the supplier of off-ship services such as airlines and other off-ship transportation carriers, meals, shore excursions, accommodations, air ambulance and shore-side physicians.
