It is going to be an unforgettable trip for both seasoned travelers and adventurous souls making their first cruise abroad.

Baku: Historically and Fashionably Modern

Vibrant Baku, astonishingly rich in ancient history and cloaked in modernity, is the capital of Azerbaijan. Peel back the layers of history in the Shirvanshah Palace, a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, which represents intricate architecture. Undeniably, this city's hive of activity is at Fountain Square, a favorite congregating spot for locals.

A Melting Pot of Delights

This rich tapestry of Azerbaijan extends to its cuisine, too. Savor the sumptuous dishes reflecting the varied heritage of this country. Try some fragrant stew dishes like dogramma, sample the melt-in-your-mouth tenderness of the lamb kebabs, or tantalize your taste buds with the refreshing flavors of Dolma—signature stuffed grape leaves.

Beyond the Capital: Unveiling the Treasures of Azerbaijan

There are secrets beyond Baku: enjoy a hike through the stunning scenery of the Caucasus Mountains or view the incredible mud volcanoes of Gobustan National Park, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take an amble around the ancient city of Sheki with its ornate silk carpets and rich historic caravanserais.

A Land of Tolerance and Warm Hospitality

Despite being situated in a largely Islamic region, Azerbaijan is refreshingly secular. The host of locals has also been long famed for warm hospitality and welcoming. Immerse yourself in the vibrant local culture and be prepared to be greeted with smiles and a genuine feeling of warmth.
