Choose a 2-day or 3-day cruise to Beirut with the SERENADE, the PRINCESSA MARISSA or with the AUSONIA for a chance to visit one of the worlds greatest historic destinations. Cruise to Beirut once known as the Paris of the Middle East on a relaxing cruise from Cyprus. Beirut is situated in the middle of Lebanon's Mediterranean coast and is a city of contrasts: beautiful architecture exists alongside concrete eyesores; traditional houses dwarfed by modern buildings. Our optional excursions include visits to the Pigeon Rocks, the most famous natural feature of Beirut as well as visits to the ancient city of Byblos.
