Official voyage overview

Explore the Croatian coastlines—taking time to soak in the scent of lemon trees, skip stones on pristine pebble beaches, and browse for lavender ice cream in storybook medieval towns. From popular ports like Dubrovnik and Split to tiny, small-ship-only Pomena, Balkan hospitality shines. You'll also experience a rich tapestry of Italian regions, from the canals of Venice to the southern charms of Puglia and Sicily. Enjoy an overnight in Sorrento, where you can explore the remains of Pompeii. UNESCO treasures abound, including Diocletian’s Palace in Split, the time capsule city of Dubrovnik, the gnome-like trulli huts of Alberobello near Monopoli, and Mount Etna near Messina.
