Though not the capital of modern Turkey (that title belongs to Anakara), Istanbul was the heart of first the Byzantine and then the Ottoman empire (when it was known as Constantinople), and it remains not only the most populous city in the country, but also one of the greatest cities in the world. Embark the Tere Moana, and enjoy time to settle into your stateroom before the ship sets sail this evening.
Day 2: Nessebur, Bulgaria
Located on a slender peninsula and offering one of the finest golden-sand beaches on the Black Sea, this ancient sea resort gracefully blends past and present.

Or simply enjoy the mild weather and sunny hospitality of the local people.
Day 3: Constanta, Romania
The site where Jason and the Argonauts landed after finding the Golden Fleece, according to legend, Constanta boasts 2,500 years of history but today is best known as a glamorous seaside resort. Enjoy its many ancient ruins, museums, casino, and beaches, as well as shopping and open-air restaurants.
Day 4: Odessa, Ukraine
A major seaport set on terraced hillsides on the Black Sea, Odessa has long been a major artistic, intellectual, and cultural center, and a freewheeling city with a multicultural ambiance. The Potemkin Stairs, an inviting walkway leading to the city from the sea, are a symbol of the city.
Day 5: Yalta, Ukraine
A fashionable resort since 1800, renowned for the healing properties of its climate, Yalta was the favored vacation retreat of the Romanov royal family and also the site where Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin charted the future of Europe in 1945.
