Experience the rich cultures of the Classical World accompanied by a guest editor from Bon Appétit magazine. Sail aboard the deluxe M.S. Le Diamant along the coasts of the French and Italian Riviera and marvel at Michelangelo's David in Florence. Walk along the streets of ancient Rome, Pompeii and Ephesus and travel in the wake of Roman galleys, medieval mariners and the sleek triremes of Phoenician sea traders to Sicily, Delphi and the coast of Turkey, where classical temples, medieval cathedrals and great cities stand as eloquent testimonials to the passage of the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Normans and Ottomans. Learn about the rich culinary traditions of the Mediterranean during lectures, demonstrations and optional excursions to restaurants, markets and tastings across the region.

Unfortunately, Prof. Brendan O'Leary will no longer be joining us on this trip.
