Guests from Fort Lauderdale, Florida in the United States, aboard Voyages to Antiquity's "Carthage Is To Be Deleted," itinerary this past week enjoyed unique visits to ancient archaeological sites in Libya, the highlight of their voyage that also took them to other North African countries. The first call was in Tripoli, described by the visitors as a fascinating capital city.
Here they enjoyed tremendously the Jamahiriya Museum with 47 galleries containing one of the world's best classical art collections.
The next stop was Al Khums, for a full day visit to one of the Mediterranean's greatest archaeological sites, Leptis Magna. Then they travelled to Cyrene where they toured the 5th century BC Doric Temple of Zeus.
"Carthage Is To Be Deleted" is a stunning itinerary exploring the spectacular temples and cities created by the Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans in Sicily, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt.
These are among the most magnificent and well preserved to be found anywhere in the world.
Mr. Mitchell J. Schlesinger, vice president of sales and marketing for the line said, "Voyages to Antiquity is the only cruise line to call in Libya this year with American guests and will offer two of the very limited cruise options to visit Libya in 2011,"
According to Mr. Schlesinger, the recent itinerary sold out quickly once Americans were able to visit and their bookings for the next year's two departures are extremely active.
These cruise-tours are scheduled for March 25 and November 25.
