Thessaloniki to Rome (Civitavecchia)
This eight-night voyage blends cultural discovery and beautiful Mediterranean splendor, from the serene beaches of the Greek islands to the bustling streets of Rome. We begin our voyage on the Halkidiki Peninsula of mainland Greece, before setting sail for two of the nation's famous islands – glamorous Mykonos, beloved by the jetset, and Santorini, with its stunning landscape of whitewashed houses clinging to the cliffs around the mouth of a sunken volcano. Next, we sail for Heraklion on Crete, to uncover the story of the ancient Minoan civilization at the Palace of Knossos. A leisurely day at sea takes us to Italy to see Lipari, the largest of the volcanic Aeolian islands, and savor Naples’ culinary delights – not just pizza – before arriving in the mighty capital of Rome.
