Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Civitavecchia
Depart 18:00
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.
- Gateway to Rome
- Fort Michelangelo
- Vatican excursions
- Day2
Salerno
Arrive 08:00 · 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
- Day3
Agropoli
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 18:30
- Day4
Giardini Naxos
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 19:00
A seaside resort on the east coast of Sicily, set along a sandy bay below the hilltop town of Taormina. Snow-capped Mount Etna rises inland, and the ancient Greek theatre and stepped streets of Taormina are a short ride up from the shore.
- Taormina
- Mount Etna
- Isola Bella
- Day5
Valletta
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 18:00
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.

Sarandë
Arrive 07:00 · Depart 17:30
A coastal town in southern Albania on the Ionian Sea, facing the Greek island of Corfu across a narrow strait. Its curved bay and beaches anchor the town, and the ancient ruins of Butrint lie a short way down the coast.

- Ionian beaches
- Lëkurësi Castle
- Day8
Kotor
Arrive 08:30 · Depart 19:00
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.

- Day9
Dubrovnik
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 19:00

- Day10
Split
Arrive 08:00 · 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.

- Riva promenade
- Marjan Hill
- Day11
Ravenna
Arrive 08:30 · Depart 19:00

Trieste
Arrive 08:00 · Depart 17:00

- Piazza Unità d'Italia
- Miramare Castle
- Viennese cafés
- Day13
Venice
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.
