Official voyage overview
Delve into architectural and epicurean wonders on both sides of the Italian peninsula during this 10-day adventure. An Adriatic and Dalmatian Coast itinerary sails along the Croatian coast, paired with immersive experiences in Italy, including a Vatican tour, Colosseum visit, and foodie market tour in Rome. Listen to the Venetian clock tower bells of Torre dell’Orologio strike the hour as hundreds of pigeons scatter about St. Mark’s Square. Sip crisp and dry Verdicchio paired with octopus salad or garlic-flavored black risotto in delicious Dubrovnik, a highlight of the cruise along Croatia's storied Dalmatian coastline. Drift past the blue domes of Our Lady of the Rocks, a sanctuary for Kotor’s local fishermen for nearly 2,000 years. Sample succulent baked cardoon stalks harvested from Sicilian thistles and dusted with melted aged Parmesan cheese near the precipitous slopes of Mount Etna in Giardini Naxos. Experience an exclusive tour deep into the storied shadows of the Colosseum and the Sistine Chapel.
