This is from the SAS website:

SUMMER 2008: MV EXPLORER TO CALL ON ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT INSTEAD OF ISTANBUL, TURKEY
Monday, July 28 1:30 p.m. (eastern) Following extensive consultation today with officials at the U.S. Embassy in Istanbul, the Overseas Advisory Council, ASI Group (our global risk management service), V-Ships (our ship�s management service), and the onboard senior leadership team (Captain Jeremy Kingston and Executive Dean Jill Wright), and consistent with the Semester at Sea commitment to the health and safety of our participants, the Institute for Shipboard Education senior management team in Charlottesville, Virginia has decided that the Summer 2008 voyage will not call on Istanbul, Turkey. The MV Explorer will now call on Alexandria, Egypt (pending confirmation of a berth). Anticipated arrival to Alexandria is Wednesday, July 30 at 0800. A field program is being developed and will be made available tomorrow for participants to consider. Please continue to check this site for further information as it becomes available.
