I just searched on Seabourne's website and it looks like they no longer have Rome-Dubai via Egypt I hope they offer it again. That one sounds even more exciting than the Athens-Dubai. I've been to Egypt before many years ago and would love to go back on a cruise but also see Petra and other sites on the way.
