Themed cruise to sail from Egypt

Cruise.com is to host a themed cruise on board Azamara Quest which will sail from Egypt

Following anti-government protests in Egypt that took a toll on the country’s tourism, a few cruise liners seem to have strategically targeted the revolution as a plank for attracting tourists. In the wake of a gradual change in Egypt’s political space and a few other conflict-ridden nations, a themed 'Freedom Evolution' cruise ship will sail from Egypt through Jordan and Israel on Nov 17th 2011

Anthony Hamawy, president of Cruise.com said "We believe that many people want to witness a piece of modern history in the making. This region of the world has already been a witness to some of the greatest events in ancient history,"

The 10 night cruise will be on board the Azamara Quest which is scheduled to sail from Ain Sukhna and then visit Sharm El Sheikh and Safaga in Egypt, Al Aqaba in Jordan and Eilat in Isreal before returning to Ain Sukhna. The ship will dock overnight at each port giving the chance to visit numerous sites and explore local cultures.
