Sailing in the Wake of the Ancient Wonders

Sailing in the Wake of the Ancient Wonders

Hosted by the Smoky Mtn Bears of The Connected Traveler
Explora II | March 18–25, 2027 | A Virtuoso Exclusive Journey

Travel isn't just about where you go — it's about what you discover. On this one-of-a-kind luxury voyage, you’ll sail with Explora Journeys aboard Explora II, alongside your hosts Sean and Scott from The Connected Traveler, to explore three of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — including the Great Pyramid of Giza itself.

As a Virtuoso Voyage, you’ll enjoy exclusive benefits, insider access, and curated experiences not available to the general public. This is a once-in-a-lifetime itinerary for travelers who want to journey through history — in the most luxurious way possible.

Wonder #1: The Great Pyramid of Giza (Egypt)

Port: Port Sokhna | Excursion to Cairo

The last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid rises from the sands of Giza with timeless majesty. Guests will journey from Port Sokhna to Cairo for a full-day immersion, including the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum.

💡 Insider Tip from Sean & Scott:
Take a moment at the base of the pyramid to pause, breathe, and truly feel the weight of 4,500 years of history. It’s a spiritual moment you’ll never forget.

Wonder #2: The Colossus of Rhodes (Greece)

Port: Rhodes

The original 100-foot bronze statue's legend lives on through two Rhodian Deer Statutes.  The harbor is still the beating heart of Rhodes — and the island’s UNESCO-listed Old Town is a wonder in its own right.  The site is clearly marked 

💡 Our Take:
Wander the Street of the Knights, then grab a glass of local wine in the shade of medieval stone walls. Time slows here — and that’s the point.

Wonder #3: The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus (Turkey)

Port: Kuşadası

One of antiquity’s most revered temples once stood here — and while only fragments remain, the nearby ruins of Ephesus are among the world’s best-preserved ancient cities.

💡 What Not to Miss:
The terraced houses in Ephesus reveal the stunning art, mosaic floors, and sophistication of ancient life. It’s humbling — and unforgettable.
