Allura’s inaugural season starts in the sun-kissed Mediterranean. Her maiden voyage starts in Athens before setting sail for Istanbul via Santorini, Crete, Rhodes, Bodrum and more. From there she’ll head to irrepressible Rome, the French Riviera and the Iberian Peninsula. After a summer of guaranteed sunshine in Europe, Allura then heads across the Atlantic to tour Canada and North America before seeking more sun in the Caribbean.
“Allura’s inaugural journeys are designed to appeal to all global travellers, whether they revel in the joy that comes with reconnecting with favourite destinations or are excited to discover new places and sights for the very first time.”
