Venice – Piraeus · 16–27 June 2027

Arriving by sea, Venice feels unlike anywhere else: a low lagoon horizon, shipping channels, and islands scattered across the water before the city’s domes and bell towers appear in the distance. From the port, the historic center is nearby rather than at the quay, with canals, grand palaces, and famous squares waiting beyond the working harbour.

Approaching Mali Lošinj by sea, you arrive in a sheltered Adriatic harbour framed by pine-covered slopes, clear water, and a waterfront town that feels relaxed and elegant rather than busy. Nearby, visitors can explore the old seafaring town, stroll along the palm-lined promenade, and enjoy the island scenery of coves, stone houses, and fragrant Mediterranean greenery.

Approaching Trogir by sea, you arrive on a sunny stretch of the Dalmatian coast, with marinas, low waterfront buildings and views toward the old town set a little away from the quay. Nearby, visitors can explore the UNESCO-listed historic center, a maze of stone lanes and church towers with a lively, Mediterranean atmosphere.

Arriving by sea, Hvar welcomes you with a bright Adriatic harbour, stone waterfront buildings and hills rising behind the town, giving the whole bay an elegant, sun-soaked feel. Nearby, you can stroll toward the old town’s lanes and squares, with views up to the hilltop fortress and out across the harbour to the Pakleni Islands.

Arriving in Kotor, you sail into one of the Adriatic’s most dramatic bays, where steep grey mountains rise straight from calm, enclosed waters. Near the port, the UNESCO-listed old town is the highlight, with stone walls, church towers and narrow lanes giving the place a quiet, historic atmosphere beneath the cliffs.

Saranda welcomes ships with a bright Ionian waterfront, low hills, and a relaxed Mediterranean feel. From the port, the town stretches along a curved bay, with seaside promenades, cafés, and nearby views toward the Albanian Riviera and the Greek island of Corfu.

Katakolon is a small Greek port with a relaxed seaside feel, where low waterfront buildings, fishing boats and excursion traffic create an easy holiday atmosphere as you come ashore. Nearby, the coast of western Peloponnese offers sunny beaches and gentle hills, and the ancient site of Olympia is the best-known place to visit inland.

Arriving by ship at Kleftiko feels like entering a hidden world of dazzling white volcanic cliffs, sea caves and clear turquoise water. This is a peaceful, wild stretch of the Milos coast, best enjoyed for a morning swim with dramatic rock formations and quiet open sea all around.

Arriving at Milos, you are greeted by a harbour framed by pale volcanic hills, whitewashed settlements and the clear light of the Cyclades. Nearby, the island’s dramatic coastline, quiet coves and traditional villages give the place a relaxed, sun-bleached Aegean atmosphere.

Gavrio has a relaxed Aegean ferry-port feel, with whitewashed buildings climbing the low hills and a broad bay opening to the sea. From the harbour you can enjoy the island atmosphere straight away, while nearby roads lead to quiet beaches, dry rocky slopes and small villages scattered inland.

Piraeus is a vast, busy harbour where ferries, fishing boats and cargo traffic create an unmistakably maritime first impression. From the port you are close to Athens, with the city's historic sights nearby, while around Piraeus itself you can find marinas, waterfront promenades and a lively urban Greek atmosphere.
