Cruise Itinerary
The MSC Opera sails on December 24, 2024 for a 7 Night Egypt Red Sea & Saudi Arabia (Jeddah Roundtrip). The ship will depart the port of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at 9:00 PM and will return to the port of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Dec 31st at 6:00 AM. During the 8-day journey, the MSC Opera will visit 4 additional ports and will spend 2 days at sea.
Hyperbolically known as the Paris of Arabia, Jeddah is one of the few cities in the region to have built around, rather than over, its history. Jeddah has one of the best souks (markets) in the kingdom, the spectacular Souk Al-Alawi, which winds its way through the old city. Although some sections of it have been paved over, and others fitted with bizarre green and white columns, it's still a great place to spend hours strolling and browsing.
Take advantage of the many on board activites during your day at sea. You'll have more than enough to fill your day!
It is the only Jordanian port with direct access to the Red Sea; it remains the trade entrepot to Iraq. Aqaba is also a popular winter and summer seaside resort. Since at least 1000 B.C., a port has existed continuously on the site to handle trade between Palestine and Syria.
Located at the southern tip of the Sinai, Sharm El-Sheikh is one of the most accessible and developed tourist resort communities on the Sinai peninsula. Sharm El Sheikh is a diver's paradise with crystal-clear waters, lovely reefs, and a variety of exotic fish. On land, you'll find sun loungers, shades, and bars, as well as shops with both foreign and local products.
Sail down the Nile River to the ancient city of Safaga, the gateway to the magnificent antiquities of Luxor and Karnak. Site of the ancient metropolis of Thebes, Luxor has a history that dates back 2,000 years. Marvel at the ancient columns and statues. Stroll down the avenue of the Sphinxes to the ceremonial gateway of the temple of Amon-Ra, or sail across the Nile to the Valley of the Kings.
