Cold War Cruising on the Discovery

The Discovery is a warmly intimate and beautiful cruise ship. One cruise offered on the Discovery is a 14-day excursion around the Black Sea with ports of call in Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Turkey and the Greek islands.

During this cruise you'll be treated to an excellent historical lecture program that ranges in topics from the history of the Russian czars to the Cold War and Chernobyl. During the cruise, you can also enjoy the growth of post Cold War Russia along the coastline of Sochi where the 2014 Winter Olympics will be held.

Tours include areas such as Green Grove – which was Stalin’s country house – Massandra Palace and Livadia Palace. A more surprising tour of the post Communist era is the nuclear submarine depot and navy yard in Sevastopol. Near the Bulgarian port of Burgas in Nesebur is the last port of call on the Black Sea for this cruise. This site is actually dubbed “The Dubrovnik of the Black Sea” by the Unesco World Heritage Centre. Nesebur is a treat with its cobblestone byways, picturesque restaurants and Byzantine cathedrals.
