Istanbul
Find out more about the city bridging two continents with our pre-cruise programme*. The EUROPA 2 will sail through the Bosporus and into the Black Sea as a prelude to your cruise.

Nesebar
Like an island of stone, the old town – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – lies in the middle of the sea. Wander through narrow cobbled alleys past original wooden houses and visit St. Stefan Church as well as boutiques and handicraft shops.

Sochi
A Mediterranean climate, majestic manors and vast parks: Sochi, the host city of the 2014 Winter Olympics and one of the venues of the World Cup in 2018, is known as the “Russian Nice”. Come face-to-face with the turbulent past in the rooms of Stalin’s holiday home*, which have all been restored to their original condition. The hiking tour through the Agura gorge* promises to be a fascinating experience.

Odessa
Following famous steps: ascend the Potemkin Stairs which lead directly onto the majestic Primorsky Boulevard. Or descend into the catacombs of Odessa* and explore a section of the vast tunnel labyrinth. A cultural highlight: an evening at the opera*.

OUR TIP:
Shopping trip
International labels and the boutiques of national fashion designers line Deribasovskaya Street in Odessa. A stone’s throw away: the “Europe” shopping centre with a great selection of fashion, accessories and gourmet food.

Istanbul
Overwhelming: enter the trendy metropolis on the Bosporus in a sea of evening lights. Enjoy the night life before your cruise comes to an end the next day. Alternatively, stay a little longer in one of the most exciting cities in the world with our post-cruise programme*.
