1. Day

     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
2. Day

     Split

     Arrive 07:00 · 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
3. Day

     Dubrovnik

     Arrive 07:00 · Depart 23:59

     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.

     Kotor

     Arrive 07:00 · Depart 17:00

     A walled medieval town at the head of the Bay of Kotor, a fjord-like inlet of the Adriatic ringed by steep mountains. Ships anchor below the old town, whose stone lanes and ramparts climb toward the fortress of San Giovanni.

     • Bay of Kotor
     • Old town walls
     • San Giovanni fortress
5. Day

   • 

     Corfu

     Arrive 08:00 · Depart 17:00

     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
6. Day

   • 

     Messina

     Arrive 08:30 · Depart 18:30

     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.

     • Taormina gateway
     • Astronomical clock
7. Day

   • 

     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
8. Day

     Civitavecchia

     Arrive 06:00

     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
