Round Trip to Cairo

Not a fan of the open seas? A river cruise may be a better travel route to take. Check out Viking River Cruises’ 12-day Cairo round trip tour called ‘Pharaohs and Pyramids’. The cruise is along the world-famous and historic Nile river and begins and ends in the Egyptian capital of Cairo. This particular cruise is different from the ones above in that it’s quite intimate accommodating only 52 guests at a time.

Lisbon to Athens

Here’s another European tour. This time though its route is more focused on the southern, sunnier part of the continent beginning from Lisbon, Portugal and ending in Athens, Greece. The Seabourn cruise will pass through destinations in countries like Italy, Spain, and France along the way of the two-week trip.
