Scenic Ocean Cruises

Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Venice

   Italy

   

   Venice, a historic port city, captivates with its unique canals and rich cultural heritage. Must-do experiences include visiting the iconic Basilica di San Marco and indulging in local delicacies like risotto al nero di seppia. The best time to visit is during the mild, vibrant spring months when the city comes alive with festivals and outdoor activities.

2. Day 2

   Vis

   Croatia

   

   Vis is Croatia's most remote and unspoiled inhabited island, a former military base that emerged from isolation with ancient Greek ruins, unique Vugava wine, and Mediterranean fishing-village life intact. Must-dos include visiting the Blue Cave on Bisevo, tasting komiza pogaca bread and fresh-grilled fish under a peka, and swimming at the cliff-enclosed Stiniva beach. June and September offer warm seas and manageable crowds.

3. Day 3

   Dubrovnik

   Croatia

   

   Dubrovnik, Croatia's stunning port city, is a blend of rich history, dramatic architecture, and vibrant culture, making it a must-visit destination. Don't miss a stroll along the city walls for breathtaking views and savor local dishes like "peka" and "black risotto." The best time to visit is in late spring or early fall when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are thinner.

4. Day 4

   Kotor

   Montenegro

   

   The port of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich historical tapestry. A must-do experience includes wandering the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, where culinary delights like "kacamak" and fresh seafood await. The best time to visit is during the spring or early fall, when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are fewer.

5. Day 5

   Monopoli

   Italy

   

   Monopoli is a 2,500-year-old whitewashed port town on Puglia's Adriatic coast, where 20 churches fill a medieval labyrinth above tiny swimming coves of crystalline water. Must-dos include the morning fish market at the old port, tasting burrata and crudo at harbour-side restaurants, and swimming at the hidden calette beaches. Visit June or September for warm seas and luminous Puglian light.

6. Day 6

   Sarande

   Albania

   

   Sarandë is Albania's Ionian coast jewel, where the UNESCO-listed Butrint archaeological marvel and the impossibly turquoise Blue Eye spring create a Mediterranean experience rivaling Greece at a fraction of the cost. Visit June via Emerald Yacht Cruises or Virgin Voyages for six-civilization archaeological sites and Albania's exciting Mediterranean frontier.

7. Day 7

   Corfu

   Greece

   

   Where Homer placed the island of the Phaeacians and four centuries of Venetian rule left their most enduring Mediterranean legacy, Corfu is a singular island of extraordinary historical depth and natural beauty. The UNESCO-listed Old Town — its narrow Kantounia alleyways, the elegant Liston arcade, and twin Venetian fortresses — is the finest preserved Venetian streetscape in Greece. Beyond the town, secret coves, olive groves of immense antiquity, and mountain villages offer weeks of unhurried discovery. May through June and September offer perfect conditions: warm sea temperatures, clear skies, and the island before or after its summer crescendo.

8. Day 8

   Monemvasia

   Greece

   

   Monemvasia, a fortified port town on the Peloponnese, is celebrated for its medieval architecture and rich history dating back to the 6th century. Must-do experiences include savoring local dishes like **mpakaliaro** and exploring nearby attractions such as Nydri and Symi. The best time to visit is spring or early autumn when the weather is mild and the crowds are manageable.

9. Day 9

   Khania

   Greece

   

   Chania is a city on the northwest coast of the Greek island of Crete. It’s known for its 14th-century Venetian harbor, narrow streets and waterfront restaurants. At the harbor entrance is a 16th-century lighthouse with Venetian, Egyptian and Ottoman influences. Opposite, the Nautical Museum has model ships, naval objects and photographs. The former monastery of St. Francis houses the Archaeological Museum of Chania.

10. Day 10

    Santorini

    Greece

    

    Santorini, the ancient volcanic caldera rising from the Aegean, is Greece's most theatrical landscape — a crescentic island of sheer white cliffs plunging into an indigo sea, its clifftop villages of Fira and Oia draped in bougainvillea and culminating in the world's most photographed sunset. The island's unique Assyrtiko wine, grown on ancient ungrafted vines in volcanic pumice, is one of the Mediterranean's greatest expressions of terroir. Byzantine frescoes of extraordinary beauty fill the Prehistoric Museum of Thera. The volcanic black and red sand beaches of Perissa and Perivolos are unlike any others in Greece. April through June and September through October offer the finest conditions.

11. Day 11

    Delos

    Greece

    

    Delos is the sacred birthplace of Apollo and one of the Mediterranean's most significant archaeological sites, where an entire ancient Greek city of temples, theatres, and merchant houses survives on a tiny Cycladic island. Must-see experiences include the Terrace of the Lions, the mosaic floors of the merchant quarter, and the panoramic view from Mount Kynthos. April through October is the visiting season, with spring and autumn most comfortable for exploration.

12. Day 12

    Kusadasi

    Turkey

    

    Kuşadası owes its place on the world's cruise itineraries to one extraordinary proximity: the ancient city of Ephesus, one of the greatest metropolises of the Greco-Roman world, lies just seventeen kilometres from the port. Ephesus — with its two-kilometre marble colonnade, the Library of Celsus, and the Temple of Artemis (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World) — demands at least half a day of unhurried exploration. The House of the Virgin Mary, a pilgrimage site believed to be where Mary spent her final years, adds a profound spiritual dimension. Kuşadası itself is a lively Aegean resort; the season runs April through October, with May and September offering ideal temperatures and smaller crowds.

13. Day 13

    At sea

    

14. Day 14

    Kepez

    Turkey

    

    Kepez is a small Turkish port on the Gulf of Antalya providing access to extraordinary ancient sites including the harbor city of Phaselis and the eternal flames of the Chimaera at Olympos. Must-dos include exploring Phaselis's ruins among pine forests, hiking to the burning rocks at Chimaera, and riding the cable car up Mount Olympos. April through June and September-November offer ideal temperatures for site exploration.

15. Day 15

    Istanbul

    Turkey

    

    For more than fifteen centuries, Istanbul has been the pivot upon which empires turned — Byzantium, Constantinople, the Ottoman capital — and nowhere else on earth compresses so much history into a single horizon. The Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Topkapi Palace form an incomparable trinity of architectural genius along the Golden Horn; the Grand Bazaar's four thousand shops offer a sensory immersion unlike any other marketplace. Must-dos include a Bosphorus sunset cruise and a meal of mezze along the waterfront at Karaköy. Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) offer the most gracious climate for this inexhaustible city.
