Day 1 - Venice (Porto Marghera), Italy
Once you leave or land in Porto Marghera, wonders are really round the corner in this portion of Adriatic Sea: the marvels of Venice, between art, history and dreamy gondolas; the glass crafts of Murano and the colors of Burano; the art Biennale, carnival or the Cinema Exhibition, if you're in the right time of the year. We would mention many others, but we're running out of space. Have you found your magic yet?
Day 1 - Venice Lido: "Lido Aperitivo"
Red like the sunset over the lagoon, red like the skyline of the roofs of Venice, red like an Italian-style aperitif.
Immerse yourself in a Dolce Vita atmosphere, sipping a typical Venetian aperitif, amidst posters of the most beautiful Italian films and an Oscar-winning soundtrack.
Day 2 - Bari, Italy
Bari, Italy is one of the best-kept secrets along the Adriatic Coast. Most tourists have never even heard of Puglia’s capital, yet it beckons with plenty of unique cultural experiences, captivating sights, and tasty cuisine for those savvy or lucky enough to stumble upon it. With its crystal clear lagoons hugged by dramatic cliffs, imposing medieval castles and cathedrals, and a bustling historic quarter that looks straight out of a movie, this hidden gem offers plenty of ways to fill a day with authentic southern Italian flavor.
Day 3 - Fun Day at Sea!
While at sea, take the time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, taste the delicacies or explore the venues on-board, until we arrive at the next amazing destination.
Day 4 - Mykonos, Greece
Mykonos is perhaps the most known and famous of the Greek isles, and public fascination with the island has seen a massive uptick in recent years. The secret’s out—Mykonos is sophisticated and glossy, the younger sibling of Athens, where bright white buildings pop against seriously blue waters and bougainvillea blooms unrestricted, Mykonos cruises revel in incredible nightlife, alluring white sand beaches, and a stay-up-all-night spirit.
Day 4 - Mykonos Bay: "Sea Party"
All the energy of the Mykonos night comes on board for a poolside sea party. Amidst the lights and colours reminiscent of the island's golden beaches and white houses, DJs with music from the most glamorous clubs in the area will keep you dancing late into the night. An immersive feast of pure fun.
Day 5 - Santorini, Greece
Cruises to Santorini, Greece help share the effortless beauty and history of the island with the world. Though it’s no longer a well-kept secret, Santorini’s charm cannot be diminished. The island’s multicolored structures pop against the blue-and-white buildings and the turquoise Aegean sea below. Less academic than Athens, quieter than summer party town Mykonos, Santorini is one of the most-visited destinations on any number of Mediterranean cruises, and for good reason.
Day 6 - Katakolon (Olympia), Greece
When you arrive at the Katakolon cruise port, you’ll be met by views of the bluer than blue Ionian Sea, romantic Greek vistas, and a beachy paradise. You can venture on to Olympia, where the first ever Olympic Games were held to honor the Greek gods, or stop in at the Archaeological Museum of Olympia for a closer look at ancient Greek art and history.
Day 7 - 36.2 N, 24.2 E - Ionian Sea: "Sea of Stars"
Discover the secrets of the universe as the ship moves through the deepest darkness of the Ionian Sea. Guided by an officer, you will travel with your gaze upwards, towards planets and constellations.
Day 8 - Venice (Porto Marghera), Italy
The fame and romance of Venice are lasting qualities that make it a must-see destination on any vacation or cruise to Italy. Venice possesses its own character unlike any other city in Italy. From gondola rides to cooking classes to create Italian culinary gems, Venice shore excursions blend ancient history and Venice’s timeless romance all at once.
