Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Trieste
Arrive 07:00 · Depart 17:00
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.

- 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.

Dubrovnik
Arrive 08:00 · 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.

Marseille
Arrive 11:00 · Depart 18:00
