Stunning landscapes, culinary delights, and rich history await on this nine-night voyage of the Mediterranean from Italy to Greece, via the shores of Croatia. Our fascinating journey starts with an overnight stay near romantic Venice, before we head east to Croatia to explore the streets of Zadar and UNESCO-listed Dubrovnik. Sailing on to Greece, we unearth ancient treasure at Igoumenitsa, Katakolon, Monemvasia, and Spetses, before basking in the glory of ancient Athens on a final overnight stay.

01.

Fusina (Venice), Italy

jun 22, 2025

Overnight

In 2019, UNESCO warned the Italian government that Venice risked being added to the “World Heritage Sites in Danger” list due to the continuous damage caused by large ships to the city's fragile architecture and ecosystem. In response, the government designated Venice's waterways as national monuments—a status typically reserved for artworks and historical buildings—granting the lagoon enhanced state protection. The new regulations require ships longer than 590 feet to find alternative berthing locations. Fusina, a nearby industrial port adhering to maritime safety and environmental laws, emerged as the solution. Although the port is not as picturesque as Venice's Grand Canal, a scenic 30-minute boat ride from Fusina brings visitors to a central city pier, offering a perfect starting point to explore all of Venice's romantic, watery attractions.
