Sample The Middle East With Swan Hellenic

Here's a great offer to sample the Middle East AND save money in the process - book a "By Sea to Petra" cruise with Swan Hellenic and save up to £300 per person. The 15-day cruise follows the ancient trading routes of the Arabian seas, along the coasts of Arabia and Africa, ending in Aqaba for an inclusive full-day excursion at the Nabataean city of Petra (above) – one of the most impressive sites of the region.

The voyage costs from £1,495 per person (Saver Fare based on two people sharing an inside cabin) and departs from Muscat (Oman, overnight), calling at Salalah (Oman, overnight), Massawa (Eritrea, overnight), Safaga (Egypt), Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) and Aqaba (Jordan, overnight). The price is based on a March 13 UK departure.
