Bodrum (ancient Halicarnassos) is Turkey's premiere vacation town and the most popular point of departure for Blue Cruises. In addition to the laid-back atmosphere and vivid nightlife of this international resort town, other attractions include the Castle of St. Peter, which dates back to the Crusades, and now houses a museum of underwater archaeology, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassos, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World built by King Mausolus, and an ancient Roman theatre.

In this cruise, we sail south along the Turquoise Coast to the peaceful, exclusive town of Gocek, set at the far northwest corner of Fethiye Gulf. Along the way, we visit the Hellenistic ruins of dramatic, windswept Knidos and the Lycian tombs of Caunos. Shore excursions are optional and may sometimes require a small fee for overland transport, guides or admission to archaeological sites.

The star-filled skies, invigorating sea breezes, pine-covered hills and rays of golden sun playing among the sparkling waters of secluded bays are yours to luxuriate in. Relax, savour all the timeless pleasures sun and sea have to offer, and leave the rest to us. You've embarked on a Blue Cruise...
