Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Civitavecchia
Depart 20:00
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.
- Gateway to Rome
- Fort Michelangelo
- Vatican excursions
- Day2
Amalfi
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 18:00
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
- Day3
Messina
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 20:00
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.

Sarandë
Arrive 07:00 · Depart 15:00
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.

Split
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 19:00
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.

- Riva promenade
- Marjan Hill
- Day7
Rijeka
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 18:00
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.
- Trsat Castle
- Korzo promenade
- Kvarner Gulf
- Day8
Fusina
Arrive 08:00
A mainland port on the Venetian Lagoon in northeast Italy, used as the cruise gateway to Venice. A short water crossing reaches St. Mark's Square, the Grand Canal and the maze of bridges that make up the historic island city.
