Explore ancient cities and alluring architecture, as we set sail across the Ionian Sea. We’ll embark Marina in Venice, and sail to Dubrovnik, an ancient walled city on the Dalmatian Coast that retains its centuries-long allure. We’ll view Venetian architecture in Kotor and opulent baroque landmarks in Valletta. We’ll stroll through Messina, a lovely medieval city, rich with history and famous for a cathedral where Richard the Lionheart worshipped in 1190.
Before returning to Rome, we’ll enjoy Naples, home to world-class dining, museums, and treasures such as the Farnese Bull, or observe the ruins of ancient Pompeii, the vast archaeological site standing in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius.
