ABOARD Crystal Serenity
8 ports
7 nights
3 countries
7 ports
The treasures of the coasts of Italy, Croatia and Greece provide a compelling route south, followed by this cruise. Make the most of your time in hopelessly romantic Venice before boarding Crystal Serenity and setting sail for Trieste, a bordertown claimed by so many down the years that it has a distinctly independent air. We head to Dubrovnik now, on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, the old walled city that’s gained new fans from starring as a location in Game of Thrones. The lush green island of Corfu offers a pine-scented introduction to Greece, and we encounter a second beautiful drop in the Ionian Sea at mountainous Cephalonia. Now to the mainland and the cliff-hugging medieval town of Monemvasia, before we reach our final destination, Piraeus, gateway to Athens.

Fusina (Venice), Italy

sep 08, 2026

departure 8:00 PM

Fusina (Venice), Italy picture
In 2019, UNESCO warned the Italian government that Venice risked being added to the “World Heritage Sites in Danger” list due to the continuous damage caused by large ships to the city's fragile architecture and ecosystem. In response, the government designated Venice's waterways as national monuments—a status typically reserved for artworks and historical buildings—granting the lagoon enhanced state protection. The new regulations require ships longer than 590 feet to find alternative berthing locations. Fusina, a nearby industrial port adhering to maritime safety and environmental laws, emerged as the solution. Although the port is not as picturesque as Venice's Grand Canal, a scenic 30-minute boat ride from Fusina brings visitors to a central city pier, offering a perfect starting point to explore all of Venice's romantic, watery attractions.

Trieste, Italy

8 EXCURSIONS

Trieste, Italy picture
Trieste is a city where cultures come together. According to legend, Jason and the Argonauts arrived with the Golden Fleece in 1300 BC, and literary greats, including Maria Rilke and James Joyce, have called Trieste home at one time or another. However, it is the city's Austrian past that has had the most significant influence; Trieste was a vital part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1382 to 1918. This heritage is visible in the wide Habsburg piazzas, elegant cafés, and a culinary scene where sauerkraut and strudel are as common as pasta and pizza. The grand Piazza Unità d'Italia, opening to the sea, showcases Trieste's stately charm. Walk along the Canale Grande, lined with neoclassical buildings, two pretty bridges, and a pedestrian walkway, or visit the 19th-century Miramare Castle for breathtaking views of the Gulf of Trieste below.

Argostoli (Cephalonia), Greece picture
Cephalonia, also spelled Kefalonia, is one of the jewels of the Greek islands. Located in the Ionian Sea, the island is simply superb, think pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, charming villages, and diverse landscapes. Add the island's vast cultural richness, and you have a perfect representation of everything you would expect from a Grecian idyll. If you think the place looks familiar, that's because it is. Cephalonia was the setting for the 2001 film Captain Corelli's Mandolin, based on the book of the same name. The film, starring Nicholas Cage and Penelope Cruz explores the Greek island's beautiful scenery, and gives visitors a taste of Greek island life during the war. The island is heralded for its exquisite beaches. Myrtos Beach stands out with its dazzling turquoise waters and white cliffs, while Xi Beach is distinct with its reddish sand and unique rock formations. Skala Beach, Lourdas Beach, and Antisamos Beach are also popular spots for sunbathing and swimming. The beautiful underwater lake Melissani located near Sami, is a natural wonder, enchanting all those who are lucky enough to visit.

Monemvasia (Laconia), Greece picture
If you wished to paint the perfect picture of a Greek island, it would probably look like Monemvasia. Start with a rocky promontory on the eastern edge of the Peloponnese. Then sketch in restored stone houses, beautiful churches and a winding two-donkey wide road. Add a medieval citadel. Remove all automobiles. Then make the island accessible from the mainland via a strollable causeway spanned by a grand Venetian gate. The finishing touch: the backdrop of an exquisite Aegean sunset.
