- Family Friendly
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Ravenna
Depart 17:00
A historic city near the Adriatic coast of northern Italy, once the capital of the late Roman and Byzantine West. It is celebrated for early Christian mosaics in its churches and mausoleums, several of them UNESCO World Heritage sites.
- Byzantine mosaics
- San Vitale basilica
- Dante's tomb
- Day2
Split
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 17:00
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

Dubrovnik
Arrive 07:00 · Depart 17:00
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.

Messina
Arrive 07:00 · 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.

- Day7
Salerno
Arrive 07:00 · Depart 18:00
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
- Day8
Civitavecchia
Arrive 05:00
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.
