Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Trieste
Depart 19:00
A port city in northeast Italy near the Slovenian border, long the seaward gateway of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Grand Habsburg-era squares open onto the Adriatic, with the seafront Piazza Unità d'Italia and the white Miramare Castle on the bay.
- Piazza Unità d'Italia
- Miramare Castle
- Viennese cafés
- Day2
Split
Arrive 09:00 · Depart 18:00
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.
- Diocletian's Palace
- Riva promenade
- Marjan Hill
- Day3At sea
- Day4
Piraeus
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 18:00
The ancient harbour of Athens and Greece's principal cruise port. Ferries fan out to the Aegean islands from its quays, while the Acropolis, the Plaka district and the National Archaeological Museum sit a short metro ride inland.

- Aegean ferries
- Day5
Izmir
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 17:00
- Day6
Istanbul
Arrive 10:00 · Depart 23:00
The city straddling Europe and Asia along the Bosphorus, once Byzantium and then Constantinople. Ships dock near the historic peninsula, within reach of the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the covered Grand Bazaar's labyrinth of stalls.

- Day7At sea
- Day8
Corfu
Arrive 13:00 · Depart 21:00
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
- Day9
Bari
Arrive 07:00
A port city on Italy's Adriatic coast, the regional capital of Puglia at the country's southeastern heel. Its old quarter winds around the basilica of San Nicola, and home cooks hand-roll orecchiette pasta in the narrow lanes.
- Basilica di San Nicola
- Bari Vecchia
- Orecchiette
