Your Tour Highlights

Cappadocia
Cappadocia is renowned for its unique landscape of fairy chimneys, rock formations and cave dwellings. Formed by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago, the region's soft tuff rock has been shaped by erosion into stunning formations. Ancient civilisations carved homes, churches and entire underground cities into the rock, creating a rich historical tapestry.
Cotton Castle
Discover Pamukkale, known as "Cotton Castle," where natural wonders unfold in dazzling white travertine terraces formed by mineral-rich hot springs. This stunning geological marvel, with its cascading pools and dramatic formations, creates a surreal landscape capturing the intrigue of discerned travellers from across the globe.
Blue Mosque
Completed in 1616, it boasts an awe-inspiring façade adorned with six minarets and a grand dome, complemented by intricate blue tiles that give the mosque its name. Inside, the spacious prayer hall is bathed in natural light streaming through ornate stained-glass windows, highlighting the mosque’s exquisite calligraphy and detailed tile work.
Troy Ancient City
The ancient city of Troy, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a archaeological treasure located in modern-day Türkiye. Famed for its role in Homer’s epic "The Iliad," Troy offers a glimpse into one of history's most legendary cities. Visitors can explore the ruins of ancient fortifications, the remains of royal residences and the famous "Trojan Horse" replica.
Ephesus
Ephesus, a marvel of ancient Greco-Roman civilization, beckons with its remarkably well-preserved ruins. As you wander through this historic city, you'll encounter the grandeur of the Library of Celsus, with its ornate façade and impressive collection of scrolls and the vast Great Theatre, where once thousands gathered for performances.

Celebrity Infinity®

A masterclass in exquisite accommodation, Celebrity Infinity® is renowned for her comfort and excellent outdoor spaces, as well as her top-tier choice in wining and dining. We mustn’t forget about the indoor solarium and pool either, which are ideal in the event of inclement weather at sea.

Even as one of the older vessels in the Celebrity fleet, having launched in 2001, Celebrity Infinity® has never lost her sense of modernity, constantly introducing variety and intrigue to her restaurants and cabins. In the wake of innovative alterations, public areas look beautifully upscale, with the option of an outdoor pool available in times of better weather.

If you especially love to party, Celebrity Infinity® may not be for you. We recommend Celebrity Infinity® cruises to guests who wish to savour the dining experience, to nurse the cocktails, or to relax in the blissful comfort of a lounge or cabin.
