     Civitavecchia

     Depart 17:00

     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.

     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

     Catania

     Arrive 07:00 · Depart 16:00

     A port city on the east coast of Sicily, built in dark volcanic stone beneath Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano. Its baroque centre, rebuilt after earthquakes, is known for the elephant fountain, a fish market, and Etna excursions inland.

     Corfu

     Arrive 10:00 · Depart 19:30

     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.

     • Liston arcade
     • Ionian coves

     Kotor

     Arrive 08:00 · Depart 18:00

     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.

   • 

     Split

     Arrive 07:00 · 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
7. Day

   • 

     Koper

     Arrive 08:00 · Depart 19:00

     Slovenia's main port, a compact medieval town on the Adriatic with strong Venetian roots. Its Tito Square and bell tower recall centuries under Venice, and it sits within easy reach of Ljubljana, the Postojna caves and the Istrian coast.

     • Venetian old town
     • Postojna Cave

   •
