16 Oct '28Cruise overview
Setting sail from Civitavecchia, the first stop on our week-long Mediterranean voyage is the culinary heavyweight of Naples, where pizza is more than food – it’s an art form. Messina, the gateway to Sicily, is next, with its unique blend of Norman, Arab, and Byzantine influences, before we arrive in Malta’s historic fortified capital of Valletta. A day at sea brings us to Souda in Greece, jumping-off point for the Cretan city of Chania, where bustling waterfront restaurants line the promenade of a 14th-century harbor. Kusadasi, a lively Turkish coastal resort on the Aegean Sea, is next, before we disembark in Piraeus, from where you can enjoy all that ancient Athens has to offer.
Itinerary
Civitavecchia
Italy’s vibrant capital lives in the present, but no other city on earth evokes its past so powerfully. For over 2,500 years, emperors, popes, artists, and common citizens have left their mark here. Archaeological remains from ancient Rome, art-stuffed churches, and the treasures of Vatican City vie for your attention, but Rome is also a wonderful place to practice the Italian-perfected il dolce far niente, the sweet art of idleness. Your most memorable experiences may include sitting at a caffè in the Campo de’ Fiori or strolling in a beguiling piazza.
