In person, the Greek Islands are even more lovely, picturesque and romantic than portrayed in the movies. Here you'll find whitewashed houses peering over steep cliffs which drop straight down into a breathtaking azure sea. Our Greek Isles and Croatia cruise visits among the most gorgeous of these incredible islands, including Mykonos, Santorini and Rhodes. The lovely Italian port of Bari and the Medieval gem, Dubrovnik, are thrown in for good measure. A bonus night in Venice completes your Mediterranean vacation. This itinerary is proof that you can never have too much of a good thing!
Despite all the glamour, excitement, food and fun, you won't pay a fortune to enjoy your Mediterranean dream cruise vacation. We've negotiated special prices on two departures just for you, including discounts on the superior outside and deluxe balcony (veranda) cabins. But don't wait too long. With prices from just $1799 per person including airfare, fuel surcharges, most transfers, all meals aboard the cruise and a bonus night in Venice, space won't last long.
Passengers on 2007 departures follow a slightly different itinerary.
Day 1: Depart USA. Your exciting Eastern Mediterranean journey begins this evening as you check-in for your overnight jet flight bound for Venice.
Day 2: Arrive in Venice, Italy. After your arrival in Venice, you'll be escorted to the port, where you'll board the Costa Fortuna for your weeklong cruise. (B,L,D)
Day 4: Olympia & Katakolon, Greece. Disembark this morning at the small port town of Katakolon. Visit nearby Olympia, where you'll wonder at the ruins of the awesome Temple of Zeus and explore the birthplace of the Olympic Games. These games were the most important international event in the Hellenic world from 776 B.C. to 393 A.D. and continue today, with the lighting of the Olympic flame that is carried by runners throughout the world. Visit the Sanctuary of the Olympian Zeus and the Archeological Museum on your own or join an optional excursion. (B,L,D)
Day 7: At Sea. All the fantastic facilities of the ship are available to you as you spend a day at sea. Stroll the ample decks, enjoy the sun, swim, and take advantage of the many leisure activities aboard your luxury ship. (B,L,D)
Day 10: Venice/USA. Your memorable Mediterranean journey ends as you say arrivederci Italia and transfer independently to the airport for your return flight to the USA. Arrive in the USA later today. Or, continue your stay in Italy by adding a late return and extra nights to your package.
