Setting sail from Piraeus, the gateway to Athens, this 20-night voyage covers three of the Mediterranean’s richest cultural destinations: Venice, Rome, and Barcelona. The turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea take us first to Santorini to hike up the slopes of the Nea Kameni volcano or relax in hot springs, and on to Monemvasia to see the birthplace of the original Olympic Games. Heading north along the Croatian coast, we`ll encounter the romantic jewels of Dubrovnik, Venice, and Kotor before swapping the Adriatic for the Tyrrhenian. Sailing along Italy`s west coast, we’ll call at Naples to try pizza in its home city or wander the extraordinary ruins of Pompeii. Arriving in Rome, the Eternal City waits to be explored on tours of its history and there’s an exclusive opportunity to visit the Sistine Chapel behind closed doors, before heading onward along the Amalfi Coast and west to our final port, Barcelona.

Trogir, Croatia

8:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Anchor

14 EXCURSIONS

In a region where the words `Baroque,` `medieval` and `Renaissance` - not to mention `beautiful` and `charming` - describe virtually every sight, one might think it would be difficult to find any one town that is a standout. Yet Trogir, Croatia, may just be that place. Located on a small island between the Croatian mainland and the island of Ciovo, the city of Trogir has a history that reaches back to the 3rd century BC, when it was founded by the Greeks. Later influenced by the Romans and Venetians, Trogir is nothing short of an open-air museum, sprinkled liberally with churches, palaces, towers and fortifications. Its Romanesque-Gothic quarter is one of the best-preserved not only in the Adriatic, but in all of Central Europe. UNESCO has recognized Trogir as the special place that it is, designating the historic center as a World Heritage Site.

Fusina (Venice), Italy

apr 27, 2025

departure 7:00 PM

3 EXCURSIONS

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

apr 28, 2025

8:00 AM - 7:00 PM

8 EXCURSIONS

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.

It thrived through the Middle Ages, and much of the medieval old city remains intact. Discover the historic center with its narrow alleys, small shops, and cozy trattorias. Once you've worked up an appetite, find a shady terrace and sample the morning-fresh seafood washed down with a glass of local Marsala wine. The area is one of the most important coastal wetlands, providing sanctuary to many migratory birds. Head to the salt flats at the Riserva Naturale Saline di Trapani e Paceco, just three miles from the port, where white pyramids of salt and pink flamingos create a colorful, striking scene.Of course, no trip to Sicily would be complete without a dip in the sea; surrounded by turquoise waters, pristine sands, and rugged coastline, Trapani's beaches are a delight for sun worshipers.
