Can there be a more romantic or fascinating cruising destination anywhere in the world? Cruising the Holy Land not only takes you back in history, you become a part of history. The struggles in the area are far from over. Maybe they never will be. To cruise to the Holyland is to have a walk-on part in history as it unfolds around you. It's a chance to see history on the hoof. In an era when we're told the most popular boy's name in Britain is Mohammed, can there be a better time to go and see for yourself? Middle east cruises to Israel and Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean open up ancient sites, and ancient wonders. The very names speak of romance: the Levant, the Fertile Crescent - the birthplace of agriculture – the Pyramids, the Great Sphinx. And of course, Jerusalem, the birthplace of Christianity. It's Judaism's holiest city and the third-holiest to Islam after Medina and Mecca.
