Civitavecchia

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.

Sarandë
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 18:00
A coastal town in southern Albania on the Ionian Sea, facing the Greek island of Corfu across a narrow strait. Its curved bay and beaches anchor the town, and the ancient ruins of Butrint lie a short way down the coast.

Dubrovnik
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 20:00
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.

Korčula
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 19:00
A walled medieval town on its own island off the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, in the Adriatic. Stone houses cluster within the ramparts in a herringbone street plan, and the island's interior of vineyards and olive groves produces well-regarded white wines.

- Day7
Rijeka
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 19:00
Croatia's principal seaport, set where a river valley meets the Kvarner Gulf on the northern Adriatic. A working harbour city with a grand Habsburg-era core, it is crowned by the hilltop Trsat Castle and serves as a gateway to the nearby island of Krk.

Fusina
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 20:00

Split
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 18:00
