Cruise Overview

Leave the crowds behind and experience Italy and the Adriatic from a different perspective on this unique off-season voyage. See popular attractions like the Sistine Chapel, St. Mark’s Square, and Pompeii with fewer people, giving you time to absorb the talent of Michelangelo, the ravishing beauty of Venice, and the tragedy of Pompeii. You’ll find more intimate and meaningful experiences everywhere you go as locals take the place of visitors. Walk the legendary walls of Dubrovnik’s Old Town and take your time looking over the red roofs of the medieval city during an overnight stay. Hike in tranquil Dalmatian parks, dine in family homes in small villages, and learn to cook authentic pizza in a Sicilian kitchen. Then there are winter celebrations, Carnaval parades, festive lights, Christmas markets and more that make everything shine brighter, from grand gothic and baroque cathedrals to luminous canals .
