Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Civitavecchia-Rome
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
- Day2
Messina
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
- Day3
Kefalonia Island
- Day4
Corfu Island
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
- Day5
Kotor
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
- Day6
Split
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
- Day7At sea
- Day8
Trieste
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
- Day9
Zadar
A walled Adriatic city on Croatia's Dalmatian coast, built on a compact peninsula of Roman and Venetian stone. Zadar is known for its waterfront Sea Organ, the solar Greeting to the Sun installation, and Roman ruins at the old forum.

- Roman Forum
- Greeting to the Sun
- Day10
Dubrovnik
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.

Valletta
Malta's fortified harbour capital, built by the Knights of St. John on a peninsula between two deep ports. Honey-coloured limestone defines St. John's Co-Cathedral, the Grand Master's Palace and the bastions overlooking the Grand Harbour.
- Grand Harbour
- St. John's Co-Cathedral
- Upper Barrakka Gardens

Palma de Mallorca
The capital of Mallorca in Spain's Balearic Islands, set around a wide bay. Its enormous seafront cathedral, La Seu, rises above the old town's narrow lanes, with a hilltop castle, marina and nearby coves a short way from the cruise terminal.
- La Seu cathedral
- Bellver Castle
- Old town
- Day15
Barcelona
Catalonia's seafront capital and one of the Mediterranean's busiest cruise homeports. Gaudí's Sagrada Família and Park Güell crown the city, while the tree-lined Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter's medieval lanes lie a short ride from the terminal.
