The Vision
Intuitively, they knew the importance of the commerce route around the Med. Which they have expanded by
spreading their universal peaceful lifestyle, culture and an entire civilization.
Thousands of years later, Europe in specific and the world in general are gradually following their footsteps.
The Phoenicians miraculously managed to succeed in building an economical empire
that prospered and flourished along the Mediterranean and
beyond, without shedding a drop of
blood.

The Goal

between East and West by rebuilding the
bridges which the “universal” Phoenician
society has once built through a flourishing
trade and exchange of goods in Peace and
Prosperity; furthermore they gave the
European continent its name and the
alphabet.

This will be mostly in the winter season. The ship will
