   Day 1 ·Venice (Ravenna), ItalyEmbark

   10 Aug 2026

   Depart 17:00

   Along the northeast coast of Italy is where you'll discover the historic town of Ravenna. Once a thriving seaport in ancient times (it now lies five miles inland), Ravenna was also the westernmost pillar of the Byzantine Empire. Just as everyone who visits, you too will marvel at the exquisite Byzantine mosaics. At first glance the old streets, peaceful squares and fine shops resemble any other Italian city, but the Byzantine domes of its churches still evoke its Eastern heritage. As an added bonus, Ravenna is a great place to taste the famously delicious food of the Emilia-Romagna region.

   11 Aug 2026

   Arrive 10:00Depart 23:59

   Despite the magnificent 13th century walls that surround the city, Dubrovnik is one of the most welcoming cruise destinations in all of Europe. Dubbed “the pearl of the Adriatic” by the poet, Lord Byron, this Croatian city exudes romantic charm and beautiful scenery with its shimmering marble streets, centuries-old buildings capped by bright orange roofs, and lovely beaches ensconced between awesome rocky ledges.

   Day 3 ·Bar, Montenegro

   12 Aug 2026

   Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

   A beautiful coastal town, a seaport and large industrial area, Bar, Montenegro is also a popular transport hub welcoming trains from Belgrade and ferries from Italy. For this reason, it's the perfect base city for touring the incredible ruins of Stari Bar (Old Bar) in the mountains. A quick history lesson: The northern part of the coast remained under Venice's rule and then Austria, while the southern part spent 300 years under Turkish control. Founded in 1908, "New" Bar has a more modern look and feel, but once you start heading to the Albanian border, you will see more mosques and Ottoman-style buildings.
