This voyage is dips into some of Europe’s most culturally intriguing corners as we loop around the Italian coastline. After the famed wonders of Venice, we enjoy an overnight in Ravenna, the treasures of which were largely hidden from the world for centuries, ensuring their near-perfect preservation. Be dazzled by Roman and Byzantine mosaics of astonishing intricacy, witness fish swimming in a flooded crypt, and visit the tomb of Italy’s most famous poet, Dante. Then we enter Croatian waters, calling at the island of Korcula with its beautiful medieval center framed by pine forests and cerulean waters. Puglia is next, with a stop in Bari where you can explore its picturesque old town, try its delicious food or take a trip to see the region’s amazing trulli houses. A day at sea brings an opportunity to relax before we’re back on the sightseeing trail, with stops in Valletta, Malta’s sunny capital built by the Knights of St John in the 1500s; Trapani, the myth-steeped city on Sicily’s dramatic western coast; and Naples, with its incredible food scene. Our journey ends at Civitavecchia, your gateway to the marvels of Rome.

Explore the countries and cities where empires once ruled and where monuments to their histories still stand amidst progressive hubs of culture and artistry.

Grand Journey

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&#39;s fragile architecture and ecosystem. In response, the government designated Venice&#39;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&#39;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&#39;s romantic, watery attractions.

Visiting Ravenna is like discovering buried treasure. This gem of the Roman Empire sits equidistant between Venice and Florence on the Adriatic coast yet remains relatively under the radar compared to the region&#39;s bigger name cities. There are none other than eight UNESCO World Heritage sites within the city walls, all of which honor Ravenna&#39;s astonishing churches and showcase a blend of 5th and 6th-century Graeco-Roman craftsmanship, Christian iconography, and oriental and Western styles; the Basilica di San Vitale, renowned for its elaborate mosaics, and the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, with its stunning starry sky dome, are highlights. Italy&#39;s most celebrated poet, Dante Alighieri, is buried in the Basilica San Francesco, and even Lord Byron lived here, between1819 and 1821 (on via Conte di Cavour). Once you&#39;ve worked up an appetite drinking in all the culture, head to the bustling Piazza del Popolo for an aperitivo and piadina, the city&#39;s famous flatbread sandwich.

Embark on a cultural journey to the picturesque island of Korcula, a Croatian treasure surrounded by shimmering turquoise waters. As one of the oldest settlements in Croatia, the island dates back to ancient Greece and was once a hub for medieval trade. Stroll through the well-preserved medieval town, with its narrow cobbled streets, and uncover remnants of Roman rule and Illyrian settlements. Marvel at the grand Gothic-Renaissance architecture of St. Mark&#39;s Cathedral and the 15th-century walls that once guarded the city, and soak the vibrant cultural pulse, from traditional folk music and dance, to savory seafood cuisine and lively festivals.

In the Italian seaside city of Bari, you will find picturesque streets, curious shops and incredible cuisine, including a wide selection of delectable wines. Get lost in the maze-like streets of its old town to admire enchanting monuments and sample its homemade dishes, including delicious fresh pasta at Via dell&#39;Arco Basso.

This exclusive arrangement is designed to allow you the chance to customize your time ashore in the comfort and privacy of your own vehicle. With your private vehicle and the personalized attention of your driver and English-speaking guide, you will have the flexibility and independence to design your itinerary ashore according to your own interests and sightsee at your own pace.

Enjoy the freedom to plan your day at your own pace with a private vehicle, driver, and English-speaking guide.

Discover the capital city of Malta, a vibrant Mediterranean hub home to stunning baroque architecture and ancient ruins. Beautiful and unique, known for the sun-kissed, sand-colored buildings that populate its walled streets. Discover important landmarks such as St. John&#39;s Co-Cathedral, the National Museum of Archeology or the Lower Barrakka Gardens as you stroll.

There is no shortage of beautiful, historical places in Sicily, but Trapani, on the island&#39;s west coast, seems to have it all.Once the port for the Elymian settlement of Eryx, the city became a Carthaginian naval base in 260 BCE before the Romans took it over in 241 BCE. 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&#39;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&#39;s beaches are a delight for sun worshipers.

An icon of Southern Italy, Naples is a historical treasure trove of architectural wonders, stunning coastal vistas, and culinary delights. Naples, the center of southern Italian commerce, is located on the scenic Bay of Naples. View a moment frozen in time at the excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum, ancient cities buried by an eruption of nearby Mt. Vesuvius.

Discover the charming port town of Civitavecchia, the gateway to Rome and the treasures of the Eternal City. Venture through Civitavecchia, noted for its fine seafood and beautiful monuments. Then, travel to Rome, with more than 2,500 years of history and ancient landmarks that will leave you with memories for a lifetime.
