Itinerary

Day 1: Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy

Boasting 28 centuries of illustrious history, Rome stands out as the ultimate destination for unparalleled adventures. The city that ignited the world's largest empire remains vibrant today, offering a blend of ancient ruins, internationally acclaimed art, and a lively street culture. In Rome, you can embrace la dolce vita, evoking the splendor of Ancient Rome while savoring forkfuls of pasta in a charming trattoria. Explore the city on a three-wheeled Ape Calessino, passing by centuries-old basilicas, or marvel at masterpieces by Italian artists in Villa Borghese. Whether drawn to the spiritual ambiance of Vatican City, the enchanting allure of Trastevere's backstreets, or the embattled legacy of the Colosseum—The Eternal City presents endless opportunities for exploration.

Day 2: Cruising

Day at sea.

Day 3: Santorini, Greece

Santorini stands among the world's most sought-after islands, celebrated for its striking landscapes, whitewashed villages, and dynamic volcanic phenomena. Above the Aegean Sea, adventure unfolds in bold and breathtaking ways. Ascend to Fira, the bustling cliff-top capital, via a cable car, where old cathedrals, captivating museum collections, and inviting tavernas abound. Whether swimming in the deep blue waters along red and black pebbled beaches or delving into layers of lava and history at the excavated site of Akrotiri, exploring this Cyclades gem by bicycle, ATV, or on foot is an unforgettable journey.

Day 4: Ephesus (Kusadasi), Turkey

Even to those acquainted with other ancient cities worldwide, the UNESCO World Heritage ruins of Ephesus never fail to leave an impression. Despite 150 years of excavation, only 20 percent of the city has been revealed, showcasing the grandeur of historical wonders. A visit to Ephesus during a cruise offers a glimpse into Turkish life as you meander along the seafront promenade, explore the lively city center, and traverse Marble Street, paved with authentic marble slabs, leading from downtown to the remnants of the Temple of Artemis—an enduring marvel of the ancient world, marked by a lone standing column.

Day 5: Mykonos, Greece

Nestled in the heart of Greece's Cyclades archipelago, Mykonos exudes an irrepressible energy. Characterized by powder-white houses, sparkling blue waters, and a vibrant nightlife, the Island of the Winds mirrors the colorful spirit of its inhabitants. Traverse narrow marble pathways adorned with vibrant purple bougainvillea blooms or opt for a cycling adventure through the off-the-beaten-path village of Ano Mera. Discover Greece's maritime heritage at Armenistis Lighthouse and peruse Mykonos Folklore Museum's intricate ship models. Whether immersing in a lively beach party on Super Paradise's glistening sands or witnessing the sun's descent beyond the Aegean horizon from an open-air seaside taverna, Mykonos promises a rich tapestry of experiences.

Day 6: Cruising

At sea.

Day 7: Naples (Capri), Italy

Defined by the towering Mount Vesuvius, Naples is a vibrant Italian city overflowing with charm. Immerse yourself in its opulent neoclassical architecture, exemplified by sites like Gesu Nuovo Church, boasting a lavish interior adorned with intricate frescoes, statues, and gold inlay. Delve into history at the San Gennaro catacombs, where Naples' inaugural bishops found their resting place in the second century A.D. Stroll along the Miglio Sacro ("Holy Mile") and leisurely explore the cafes and shops of the Sanita district, sipping on a zuccherato (sweetened espresso). Opt for a Naples cruise and embark on a short bus ride to the base of Mount Vesuvius— a straightforward 20- to 30-minute hike leads to the summit— followed by a tour of the Pompeii ruins.

Day 8: Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy

Disembark.
