Europe
Countries:
Croatia, Italy
Travel Style:
Small Ship Ocean & Adventure Cruises
Departure Dates:
9/16/2008
Of the many seaborne idylls possible in the Mediterranean, this has to be one of the loveliest. Aboard the elegant, all-suite Corinthian II, we will combine the very best of Croatia’s lovely Dalmatian coast and Sicily—the storied island where all the major civilizations of the Mediterranean met and mingled—by way of Puglia the “heel” of Italy’s “boot.” We begin in Venice and sail along Croatia’s coast and islands to explore the area’s finest sites, including Montenegro’s Kotor, accessed via a fantastic waterway. Crossing the Adriatic, we will land in Otranto on Puglia’s shore, formerly one of the Mediterranean’s most prominent ports, now a quaint “undiscovered” historic town. From Puglia, we will navigate the Ionian Sea to Sicily to explore Syracuse, one of the most powerful and wealthy cities of antiquity, and Agrigento with its famed Valley of the Temples, one of the best-preserved collections of ancient Greek monuments.

Departure Dates:
8/5/2009
The art of living. Rather than rush, to which we in our modern lives have become so accustomed, our exploration of some of the most charming destinations in the Adriatic takes its sweet time, allowing our guests to savor the experience and the company. Our 34-guest yacht Callisto—the perfect vessel for such an indulgence—will linger in each port. Each day, we will conduct excursions at a blissful, leisurely pace, so that guests may soak up the atmosphere of our destinations, muse over fine works of art and architecture and savor the fresh local cuisine at carefully chosen restaurants. We will have time to ponder the ghosts of antiquity in Croatia’s Dubrovnik, the aromatic flora of Hvar, the Renaissance lives lived in Italy’s Urbino, the romantic canals and intricate Byzantine mosaics of Ravenna and the crumbling splendors of Venice. This will be a voyage of pure enchantment, great conversation, camaraderie and a lush appreciation of la dolce vita.
