On Monday May 15, 2006,  U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice announced the resumption of full diplomatic relations with Libya.

This is excellent news for U.S. travelers, who has longed for the past quarter century to visit the ancient unearthed ruins and bustling open markets unique to Libya.

Travelers interested in taking advantage of the new political climate can now visit Libya aboard mv Discovery, the flagship of Discovery World Cruises. Discovery will be calling at Benghazi, Al Khums and Tripoli this November on a 16-night cruise entitled North African Treasures; and will return to Libya on two cruises in 2007.
