Dear SCSU Alumni and Friends, A voyage on Oceania Cruises’ Nautica is an exceptional experience that takes cruising to new heights. Look forward to unparalleled service and an in-depth travel adventure. Whether onboard or ashore, every detail is attended to; your only task is to enjoy every sublime moment. Go where great empires once reigned, cultural traditions still linger, and pine-covered mountains rise from the sea, the mythical lands of Turkey and Greece. Your adventure begins with your arrival in Kusadasi, home to the ruins of Ephesus, before sailing to the legendary islands and ports of Greece. See whitewashed houses splashed with colorful flowerboxes, walk amid ancient temples, visit the site of the first Olympic Games, and stroll along golden beaches. Discover unique and legendary treasures on this Aegean and Greek Isles voyage. This is a luxurious, upscale experience that redefines living on the water.

Choose from 4 fabulous restaurants and enjoy the best cuisine at sea with menus designed by world-renowned master chef, Jacques Pépin. Your stateroom will be an oasis of comfort, featuring Oceania Cruises’ exclusive Tranquility BedSM to guarantee a restful night. Make yourself at home in these exquisitely appointed rooms; a vast majority with lovely teak verandas. Every amenity you could dream of awaits you, and when you go ashore you’ll be well equipped with knowledge from excursion experts, guest lecturers and seminars. Nautica offers the perfect blend of relaxation and discovery. This 2010 cruise has already elicited unprecedented excitement and interest, so we encourage you to sign up now for your choice of stateroom and the incredible offer of FREE AIRFARE.

Dramatically perched upon a cliff overlooking the sea is the 13th-century citadel, the Church of Ayia Sophia. KATAKOLON, GREECE Visit ancient Olympia where the Olympic Games began in 776 B.C. and stroll around this deserted Sanctuary, admiring the temples, altars and treasuries, and stand on the ground where ancient athletes practiced before competing. Or enjoy a pleasant drive through the countryside past quaint villages to a local vineyard and sample the wines, local cheeses and other foods. CORFU, GREECE Immerse yourself in this beautiful island of glorious scenery and beaches, serene monasteries, beautiful palaces, traditional mountain towns and Corfu’s lovely old Venetian quarter. Or learn to prepare traditional Greek dishes at a local restaurant and feast on the results. ZAKYNTHOS, GREECE The scenic Ionian island is home to medieval churches, archeological sites, famous sea caves and the endangered sea turtle, Caretta-Caretta. The town of Zakynthos has some splendid architecture that exhibits a Venetian influence, especially its fortress and historic Saint Mark's Square. NAUPLION, GREECE Residing on the eastern coast of the Peloponnese peninsula, Nauplion is characterized by the Palamidi Fortress – a shining example of the city’s Venetian occupation in the 15th century. The picturesque vista showcasing the Greek Islands is certainly worth the climb.
