Our final Unique Itinerary this week is a comprehensive, 17-night journey with Regent Seven Seas’ Cruises aboard their modern and luxurious Seven Seas Voyager from Luxor, Egypt to Mumbai, India. What’s more, it includes a free, three-night pre-cruise land program in Luxor, and a three-night post-cruise land program to India’s famed Taj Mahal.

Your first destination after leaving Egypt is magnificent Petra, a historical and archaeological city that was ranked by the Smithsonian magazine as “One of the 28 Places to See before You Die.”
Four spectacular days at sea follow, allowing for time to fully rest, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere and amenities onboard Seven Seas Voyager. Gratuities, beer, wine, spirits, soft drinks, bottled water, transfers, and even all shore excursions are available onboard Regent’s ships, with 44 different excursion combinations available during this itinerary alone.

Ports of call in Oman include Muscat and Salalah, followed by calls to the United Arab Emirates cities of Fujiarah, Abu Dhabi, and an overnight call the eclectic city of Dubai – famed for its extravagance, numerous shopping malls and countless skyscrapers, each seemingly taller than the last.
Two days spent sailing the Indian Sea allow time to rest before Seven Seas Voyager arrives in Mumbai, India for an overnight call before guests disembark on December 1, 2012.
With over two weeks onboard the Seven Seas Voyager and unlimited shore excursions on offer, it’s a good bet that your time in these exciting middle eastern ports won’t be without plenty of adventure and discovery.
