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

- Fort Michelangelo
- Vatican excursions
- Day2
Salerno
Arrive 07:00 · Depart 16:00
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.

Palermo
Arrive 07:00 · Depart 16:00
The capital of Sicily, a port city layered with Arab, Norman, and Baroque history on the island's north coast. Palermo is known for its mosaic-rich Cappella Palatina, lively street-food markets, and the Norman cathedral at nearby Monreale.

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.

Kotor
Arrive 10:00 · Depart 20:00
