Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Civitavecchia
Depart 18:30
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.

- Vatican excursions
- Day2
Salerno
Arrive 12:00 · 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.

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.
