In the evening, you may wish to take your free time to stroll into town to appreciate this charming island when most of the tourists have left for the evening.

A special Captain’s Welcome Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you this evening.

DAY 4 – MAZZORBO, BURANO, CHIOGGIA

DAY 9 – ROVINJ, ITALY

On the Istrian peninsula of Croatia’s northern Adriatic coast, tiny, red-tiled Rovinj is perched on a domed headland now attached to the mainland. The town’s narrow, cobbled streets spiral up to the Church of St. Euphemia, whose Venetian-style campanile crowns the community. The outer, sea-level rim is lined with high-quality restaurants, and the warren of alleys open into unexpectedly pleasant plazas with open-air cafes.

DAY 10 – VIS ISLAND, CROATIA

Located some 30 miles off the Croatian coast, Vis is the most westerly inhabited island in the Adriatic and the largest in the Vis archipelago—a designated UNESCO Global Geopark and biodiverse haven for bottlenose dolphins, giant devil rays, and blue-fin tuna. Closed to foreigners until 1989, Vis remains sparsely populated, much of it covered in vineyards, pine groves, and citrus orchards.

DAY 11 – DAY AT SEA

Today is yours to relax and enjoy everything your ship has to offer. You may wish to lounge on deck, take in uninterrupted sea views, indulge in fine cuisine, or sip a cocktail by the pool as the Mediterranean sun drifts overhead.

DAY 12 – VALLETTA, ITALY

Occupied successively by the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, French, and British, Malta has been of strategic importance throughout history. The island’s rich heritage is reflected in the architecture of Valletta, the current capital.

DAY 13 – GIARDINI NAXOS (TAORMINA)

This harbour on the eastern shore of Sicily near Messina gives us close access to the fabulous Greco-Roman ruins of Taormina, as well as the active volcano Mt. Etna. The temples, streets, and large amphitheatre of Taormina make it one of Italy’s premier ancient sites. Its location overlooking the sea and with the backdrop of snow-capped Etna complete the package and make it among the most famous attractions in the Mediterranean region.

DAY 14 – LIPARI, ITALY

Lipari is the largest of the seven major islands making up the Aeolian Islands. Their natural beauty and easy lifestyle have made the islands increasingly popular for those who wish to escape the modern world and its stresses. The crystal-clear, aqua-blue waters and the volcanic beaches are some of the most inviting in Italy. An abundance of fish and shellfish makes for some very good restaurants specializing in seafood.

DAY 15 – SORRENTO, ITALY

With an idyllic cliff-top location on the Bay of Naples, Sorrento has inspired legends for centuries. In Greek mythology, the Sirens were said to live here, luring sailors onto the rocks. Today, citrus trees scent the air and add zest to the city’s limoncello liqueur.

DAY 16 – CIVITAVECCHIA (ROME), ITALY

Your journey concludes in Civitavecchia. After breakfast, disembark and transfer to Rome. Depending on flight timings, guests may choose to join an optional add-on excursion in Rome, with an airport transfer included afterwards.

S.S. VENEZIA

The River Countess underwent a complete design renovation in 2020, debuting as the S.S. La Venezia to bring guests an enhanced luxury experience inspired by Northern Italy. The redesign of the S.S. La Venezia drew influence from the fine Fortuny fabrics displayed prominently onboard.
