Our tango cruise starts in Istanbul: since our ship will stay overnight in the port, we will use this unique opportunity to visit a turkish Milonga that evening: an unforgettable experience. Next day, we will head south to Kusadasi along the beautiful coast. During our cruise we will visit some of the most fascinating places and beautiful harbours of Turkey: Marmaris and Bodrum. We will see Ephesus near Kusadasi, now considered one of the grandest reconstructed sites in the ancient world. In Athens, we can visit the world famous „Acropolis“. We will spend one day in Rhodes, famous for the “Colossus of Rhodes”, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The medieval old town of the City of Rhodes has been declared a world heritage site, perfect to stroll around during the day. The beautiful islands of Mykonos, Crete and Santorini will provide us with the opportunity to dance Tango with unforgettable views and in fantastic atmosphere.
This is a perfect cruise to relax and to enjoy fantastic food with first class service on our luxurious cruise ship. Dancing Tango and meeting Tango people from all over the world makes it very special and unforgettable. In addition to some evening Milongas on board, Tango dancing is mainly planned during the day in unique and unforgettable places. This cruise offers a  fantastic itinerary, so we put the main focus on the Milongas ashore.
“Tango at Sea” welcomes again Amanda and Adrian Costa: Tango de Salon in its most elegant style. With excellent didactic skills, they will capture your imagination with their harmonious, elegant and playful body language. Adrian and Amanda have become one of the most influential and admired performers and teachers of the Authentic Salon Tango, in the Villa Urquiza style. Adrian and Amanda successfully combine the true heritage and fundamentals of social tango with their more modern vision. Mutual respect for everyone sharing the dance floor, integrating emotion and interpretation of the music, and a natural elegance rooted in posture and beautiful walking are hallmarks of their vision.
New: if desired, there can be booked the additional workshop "Milonga - get the groove" with Amanda and Adrian.
