     Civitavecchia

     Arrive 07:00 · Depart 17:00

     The deep-water port serving Rome, roughly 80 kilometres up the coast. Ships dock here for shore excursions to the Colosseum, the Vatican and the Roman Forum, while the town itself keeps a working harbour and a Michelangelo-designed fortress.

     Salerno

     Arrive 08:00 · Depart 17:00

     An Italian port at the head of its own gulf, just south of the Amalfi Coast. Its long seafront and walkable medieval centre make it a quieter base for reaching Pompeii, Paestum's Greek temples and the cliffside towns of Amalfi and Positano.

     • Amalfi Coast gateway
     • Paestum temples
     • Seafront promenade
3. Day

     Messina

     Arrive 08:00 · Depart 17:00

     A Sicilian port on the strait that separates the island from mainland Italy, framed by the Peloritani mountains. Its harbour clock tower performs an elaborate noon display, and the town is a common gateway to Taormina and the slopes of Mount Etna.

     Valletta

     Arrive 07:00 · Depart 14:00

     Malta's fortified harbour capital, built by the Knights of St. John on a peninsula between two deep ports. Honey-coloured limestone defines St. John's Co-Cathedral, the Grand Master's Palace and the bastions overlooking the Grand Harbour.

     Corfu

     Arrive 13:00 · Depart 20:00

     An Ionian island off Greece's northwest coast, greener and more Venetian-feeling than the Aegean isles. Ships call at its old town, a UNESCO-listed warren of Italianate streets between two hilltop fortresses, with pebbly coves around the shore.

     • Old Fortress
     • Liston arcade
     • Ionian coves

     Kotor

     Arrive 09:00 · Depart 19:00

     A walled medieval town at the head of the Bay of Kotor, a fjord-like inlet of the Adriatic ringed by steep mountains. Ships anchor below the old town, whose stone lanes and ramparts climb toward the fortress of San Giovanni.

     Split

     Arrive 08:00 · Depart 16:00

     A Croatian port on the Dalmatian coast, built quite literally inside the walls of a Roman emperor's retirement palace. Diocletian's Palace still forms the living old town, its cellars and courtyards woven through with cafes, shops and the cathedral.

     • Diocletian's Palace
     • Riva promenade
     • Marjan Hill
8. Day

   • 

     Trieste

     Arrive 07:00 · Depart 17:00

     A port city in northeast Italy near the Slovenian border, long the seaward gateway of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Grand Habsburg-era squares open onto the Adriatic, with the seafront Piazza Unità d'Italia and the white Miramare Castle on the bay.

     • Miramare Castle
