The intimate 53 Stateroom National Geographic Orion returns to the Mediterranean in 2025, a region known for sun drenched shores and turquoise seas. This, however, is a deeper exploration of the ancient relics that bring to life some of the world’s greatest civilizations through the experience and knowledge of our renowned expedition team and access to lesser-known gems, from Greece’s iconic isle of Santorini and the walled city of Dubrovnik, to outlying Croatian isles and vestiges of antiquity in Albania and Turkey. This is an opportunity to explore fascinating UNESCO World Heritage sites, explore medieval towns and delve into powerful empires from the past. This is exploration at its best.
