Mediterranean – “the sea in the middle of the earth.” Or, certainly the middle of the known world to many who have lived in its shores. Just the name evokes images of silvery olive trees and azure waters, rugged hills and inviting beaches – as well as antiquity living alongside modernity in every way possible. Combine this geography, the three-masted sailing yacht Panorama (accommodating only 45 guests) and our adventurous philosophy, and you have the opportunity to experience the ancient world as an expedition.

From mid-May through early October, 2008, we are planning distinctly different itineraries. On every departure of each itinerary, both on shore and on board Panorama, you’ll be in the company of notable Historians and guest speakers. All have knowledge they love to share and all have a spirited style of sharing it. Our ship, captain, crew and guides are all indisputably Greek, so Greek hospitality is unavoidable.
