A Journey through Ancient Wonders & Vibrant Mediterranean Cultures

Join the SmokyMtnBears as we host an unforgettable Wonders of the World cruise aboard Explora I with Explora Journeys, sailing from Jeddah to Athens on a journey filled with history, luxury, culture, and once-in-a-lifetime moments. This incredible itinerary takes you through Al Wajh, Safaga, Sokhna, the legendary Suez Canal, Rhodes, and Kusadasi, blending the elegance of ocean travel with access to some of the most fascinating destinations in the ancient world.

This sailing is especially exciting because it brings you close to the stories and sites connected to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. From Egypt, guests can explore the world of the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only original wonder still standing today, along with the ancient treasures of Luxor and the Nile Valley. As the journey continues through the Mediterranean, ports like Rhodes and Kusadasi open the door to places tied to the Colossus of Rhodes and the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, two of the ancient wonders that helped define the imagination of the world.

And while the history is extraordinary, the experience onboard Explora I makes this voyage even more special. Explora Journeys brings a refined, all-inclusive luxury atmosphere with elegant suites, elevated dining, beautiful oceanfront spaces, and a relaxed style of travel designed for curious, sophisticated travelers. Add in the fun and fellowship of sailing with the SmokyMtnBears, and this becomes more than a cruise. It becomes a hosted luxury adventure through ancient history, iconic landscapes, and some of the world’s most meaningful destinations.
