Cruise the Ligurian, Tyrrhenian, Mediterranean and Adriatic seas during this 14-night voyage from Cannes to Venice aboard the MV Aegean Odyssey, a boutique ship that offers an informal cruising experience and access to remote inlets, quiet harbors and magnificent islands. Set sail along the beautiful French Riviera to explore Cannes, the sparkling jewel of the Côte d’Azur, and vibrant Provence. Cruise Italy’s shores and experience the art of Florence and palpable history of Rome. Drive along the scenic Bay of Naples to the ruins of Pompeii or Herculaneum and roam the timeless majesty of Taormina. Sail sparkling waters to the ancient Greek colony of Butrint; the narrow stepped streets of Corfu; Dubrovnik, the Pearl of the Adriatic; Split’s lavish Palace of Diocletian; and the walled town of Zadar. End your journey with an overnight in Venice. This unique adventure includes excursions, lecture series by noted scholars, an extensive meal plan, and gratuities for onboard staff, guides and drivers.
