The Crimean War forms a central part of many people’s knowledge of the history of the Black Sea:
Tennyson’s famous poem commemorating the ill-fated charge of the British cavalry on October 25th,
1854 and the heroic exploits of Florence Nightingale have helped to focus our attention on this
conflict. Indeed, a tour exploring the battlefields and military history of this period is a
highlight of this cruise. There is, however, so much more to the story of the Black Sea and this
two-week itinerary aims to bring to life the fascinating and intriguing history of the region: a
journey that will take you from the birth of civilization to the dramatic end of the Cold War.
