Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Dubrovnik
A walled city on Croatia's Dalmatian coast, its limestone old town wrapped in sea-facing ramparts above the Adriatic. Ships call here for the marble main street of Stradun, the circuit of the city walls and the cable car to Mount Srđ.

- Stradun
- Mount Srđ cable car
- Day2
Split
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
- Day3
Hvar Island
A long, sun-soaked island off the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, known for lavender fields and a marble-paved harbour town. A hilltop Venetian fortress overlooks the bay, and small boats reach the wooded Pakleni islets just offshore.
- Spanish Fortress
- Lavender fields
- Pakleni Islands
- Day4
Monopoli
- Day5
Corfu
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
- Day6At sea
- Day7
Giardini Naxos
A seaside resort on the east coast of Sicily, set along a sandy bay below the hilltop town of Taormina. Snow-capped Mount Etna rises inland, and the ancient Greek theatre and stepped streets of Taormina are a short ride up from the shore.
- Taormina
- Mount Etna
- Isola Bella
- Day8
Amalfi
A cliff-clinging town on Italy's Amalfi Coast, once a powerful maritime republic. Its tiered houses rise from a small harbour to the striped facade of the Cathedral of St. Andrew, with lemon terraces and the scenic coast road threading along the shore.
- Amalfi Cathedral
- Lemon terraces
- Coast road drive
- Day9
Sorrento
A clifftop town on Italy's Bay of Naples, perched above the sea facing Vesuvius. Sorrento is known for its lemon groves and limoncello, a tangle of narrow shopping lanes, and its role as a base for Capri, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast.
- Marina Grande
- Lemon groves
- Piazza Tasso
- Day10
Civitavecchia
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.
- Gateway to Rome
- Fort Michelangelo
