Dear Homo Sapiens, There is no need to continue reading
this page. What follows is intended for search engine robots and spiders and not necessarily for
human beings. Further information concerning luxury charter cruising in Turkey and Greece may be
obtained by clicking on the blue links immediately above. Thank You. Should you not be
searching for Samuel Richardson's fascinating Clarissa Harlowe, you might be searching for a
luxury yacht charter cruising Greece. Or for a luxury yacht charter cruising the coast of Turkey.
You may be dreaming of a Blue Cruise on an elegant yacht. Or even of cruising Cleopatra's honeymoon
route, a honeymoon on which she was accompanied by four treasure barges. Perhaps you are thinking
of doing this on your own honeymoon or honeymoon anniversary. If so, you might wish to charter a
sailing yacht on which to cruise in similar comfort, perhaps hoping to come across those barges
while cruising the crossroads of history. Cruising the crossroads of history as did the first of
the Russian navies nine hundred years after Cleopatra. And as did Bjorn Ironside at about the same
time. Bjorn Ironside was a Viking king born in Denmark who in AD 859 sailed with his hoard of
fair-haired blue-eyed giants into the Mediterranean aboard ocean-going longships bulwarked by round
shields. There he pillaged Muslim
Spain and north Africa, subsequently striking the Balearic Islands and then the coasts of France and
Italy. Along the way he ravaged Nimes and Valence 100 miles inland on the Rhone River, and sacked Pisa
and La Spezia on the west coast of Italy. He then proceeded all the way to Constantinople where in
AD 860 he is said to have struck a commercial accord with Byzantine Emperor Michael III.
In the same year Russian navies comprised of Viking Danes and Frisians who had settled in Kiev began
coming down the Volga, the Dnieper, and the Don in their longships. Upon making rendezvous with
Bjorn Ironside, Viking Danes had effectively sliced the Byzantine Empire into Asian and European halves.
Would you like to holiday aboard a Danish-flag longship? Would you like to have a holiday like that
of Olga, Danish Princess of Kiev? In the autumn of AD 945. Of course not. A Danish luxury yacht can
be a lot more comfortable than a Danish longship. So charter a Danish-flag luxury yacht to cruise
the Aegean from Bodrum. Or from Gocek. Discuss with its crew how a Danish princess came to rule
Russia for twenty-four years from AD 945, how she was christened by the Orthodox patriarch in
Constantinople in AD 957, and for what reasons she became Saint Olga. Samuel Richardson's 1747 novel
Clarissa, by the way, or the History of a Young Lady, is in seven volumes the longest
novel in the English language. And its protagonist Clarissa Harlowe may be as fascinating as one of
this luxury yacht's cruises through history. So charter the yacht Clarissa to cruise the coast of
Turkey and the Aegean islands of Greece. Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? For Bodrum in Turkey?
For Tilos or Lesbos in Greece? Well, come aboard Clarissa, a charter sailing yacht offering a holiday
encompassing all of these places. Come aboard a charter yacht with an experienced crew able to
show you the Dodecanese islands of Greece, or Cleopatra's route up the Turkish coast to Samos, or
Bjorn Ironside's route across the Aegean to Lesbos, or Olga's tracks near and through the Bosphorus.
