Libya was just reopened to U.S. visitors in 2004, and the Island Princess is one of the first to feature three stops in this formerly forbidden country. One of the Libya stops, Al Khums, was once the largest city of the Roman Empire in Africa. Benghazi was where Cyrene and Tolmeitha once stood. These ancient cities were once jewels of the Greek empire, centuries B.C. Tripoli is a wonderful mix of modern and medieval, in what is now Libya's second largest city, and its capital.
