Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Venice
Depart 17:00
A city built across more than a hundred islands in a lagoon on the Adriatic, threaded by canals instead of streets. Venice is known for St. Mark's Basilica and its piazza, the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge, and the glass workshops of Murano nearby.

Rovinj
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 18:00
A fishing town on the western coast of Croatia's Istrian peninsula, its old quarter set on a former island in the Adriatic. Pastel houses rise to the hilltop bell tower of St. Euphemia's church, while cobbled lanes and a cluster of nearby islets give it an Italianate air.
