Fusina (Venice), Italy
Losing none of its allure over the years, this floating city of canals, bridges, and masks is a place of eternal beauty and enduring elegance. The lagoon of more than 100 islands is a heavenly sight, transporting visitors on a journey through time - from its Roman inception, through centuries of trade to the modern face we see today. Navigate Venice's sparkling waterways by romantic gondola, or on cruises along wide canal boulevards. Span the Grand Canal over its iconic original crossing, the Rialto Bridge, which - with its parade of tiny shops - gives some of the city's most endearing views. If the crowds unsettle you at any point, take two turns away from the main thoroughfares to find peace alone, amid the city's labyrinth of tiny streets. Hurry to Piazza San Marco to be immersed in Venice's elegant glory. Basilica San Marco transports you back to the wealthy days of the Doges, who ruled for over 1,000 years. Initially, their private chapel, it's now decorated with beautiful Byzantine mosaics. Nearby the Campanile di San Marco bell tower offers views over the higgledy-piggledy rooftops of times gone by. Just a hop skip and a jump around the corner is the Doge's Palace, where the levels of opulence ramp up even further. Justice was meted out in this stunning Palace, with the guilty walking to the cells across the covered Bridge of Sighs. Vaporetto trips to local islands offer even more adventures to float your boat, whether it's Murano with its world-famous glass, Torcello with its amazing Cathedrals, or Burano with its handmade lace and delightfully colorful painted houses.
Trieste, Italy
A city happy to keep one foot resolutely in its beautiful, illustrious past, Trieste is a treasure, which sits on a historical frontier of civilizations and cultures. Nestled on the coast by the Slovenian border, the city soaked up many influences before returning to Italy in 1954. Wealth as a trading hub helped to shape Trieste's grand piazzas and soaring artistic architectural achievements. The legendary Bora wind is greeted like an old friend, and it buffs the city in winter. Just like Trieste itself, it will take your breath away. Piazza Unità d'Italia is the grand, central square, and it opens up to the lap of blue waves at one end. Settle in for a quick caffeine hit in this coffee capital - a word of warning, however, most Trieste baristas don't serve cappuccinos - so plump for a caffè latte instead. The God of the Sea, Neptune, is honored in a fountain at Piazza del Borsa nearby. Canale Grande is a centerpiece and was built in the 18th century to allow boats to unload their wares and trade. Lined by grandiose, neoclassical buildings, you can enjoy a picturesque stroll by the water. Three pretty bridges span it, while little boats bob and jostle below. Glorious castles crown the area, towering from esteemed vineyards. Don't miss the fairytale castle of Miramare, which watches over the azure Gulf of Trieste, and looms above glorious gardens. Trieste Cathedral is a constant and reassuring presence for the city, standing on a hilltop overlooking the old town - it features an enchanting chandelier and a remarkable painted ceiling.

Day at sea
Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and catch up with what you've been meaning to do. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, whale-watching, catching up on your reading, or simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring shoreside.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Croatia's crowning glory rears up vertically from the tranquil waters of the Adriatic, and Dubrovnik's daunting fortress town is a truly imposing sight to behold. Encircled by chunky stone walls so thick and dramatic they could have been purpose-built as a film set, this city's unmatched old town is the setting for countless films and shows - from Star Wars to Robin Hood, Game of Thrones, and every production in between seeking a truly authentic medieval flavor. This fantasy fortress's walls - which are no less than 12 meters thick at places - are certainly not just for show, however. They kept Dubrovnik safe when it was a maritime republic and they were besieged as recently as 1991, when Serbian and Montenegrin forces attacked, as Yugoslavia broke apart. Fully restored now, the stone streets of the city take you through a beautiful mosaic of architectural splendor, baroque churches, and splashing fountains. Tapering alleys rocket up from the central boulevard of Stradun, offering spectacular views down, but you'll need to walk the city walls to appreciate the fortress city's full scale. Banking up sharply to the rear, you can gaze across an ocean of terracotta roofs and church spires, clamoring together before the sparkling Adriatic. Visit the neighboring fort of Lovrijenac, for another perspective, or swing up to Srd fortress's glorious panorama on a cable car. Dubrovnik's streets are crammed with eateries and candlelit tables, where couples splash wine into glasses and enjoy gnocchi mixed with creamy truffle sauces. Nearby beaches like Banje are also close by, and hidden bays reward the intrepid who venture out beyond the old town. Take sunset drinks to sit back and watch as flotillas of sea kayaks roll by, or sail on the pristine waters to explore island gems like Lokrum - where peacocks are the only permanent residents.

Bari, Italy
Welcoming ferries from across the Adriatic and serving as the gateway to Puglia – Bari is a historic port town that invites you on a journey through everyday life in Italy’s unpretentious south. Explore further afield to immerse yourself in Puglia’s beauty and cultural wonders - or simply soak up the atmosphere roaming the crooked streets of Bari’s old town - Bari Vecchia - where matriarchs roll out sheets of pasta in open doorways, footballs rattle along dusty streets, and sun-wrinkled old men lay out hands of cards. The photogenic old town’s streets are crowned by the chalky white Cattedrale di San Sabino, where vaulted archways, pretty mosaics, and a large rose window await. Wander along the ruler-straight Lungomare Promenade to breathe in fresh salty air and look up at the slowly twirling Ferris wheel - take a ride for some of the best views out over Bari’s waterfront. Feeling hungry? Enjoy some local cucina povera - cooking of the poor – deeply traditional food that is simple and rich in elemental flavors. Warm focaccia bread, pasted with fruity local olive oil, and ear-shaped orecchiette pasta tangled with sun-gorged cherry tomatoes and creamy ricotta cheese, are all on the menu. Puglia’s whitewashed ancient villages, stunning beaches, and laid-back, down-to-earth approach to life means you’ll most likely want to explore further than just Bari. Highlights include Lecce’s grand baroque architecture and the conical roofs of the fairy-tale trulli houses of Alberobello. Powdery white sand beaches await at Salento - punctuated by arching rock formations. The incredible cave dwellings of Matera – 2019’s European Capital of Culture - are also easily within your grasp, as is Polignano a Mare’s spectacularly scenic narrow wedge of urban beach. Surrounded on three sides by steep terraces of rock, and full of snorkelers admiring the sights below the crystal-clear water, it’s a truly stunning place to bathe in the glow of the Italian sun.

Corfu, Greece
This sickle-shaped island of Mediterranean bliss flaunts its sun-kissed sophistication with effortless grace - having cherry-picked the best influences from Venetian, French and British occupiers. With over 3,000 years of history, The Grand Lady of the Ionian has played a starring role in Greek history and mythology, and legendary tales swirl around you, as you explore sparkling beaches, mountains splashed with wildflowers, and historical, perched fortresses. The soft hues of Corfu’s UNESCO World Heritage List Old Town brings together Corfu’s mesh of European influences, with its romantic stone floors and vine-clad cafes. Find somewhere to settle in for a morning coffee ritual like a true Corfiat, and sip at the laid-back pace of the locals - allowing the thick bitter concoction to settle before indulging. The oddly out-of-place sound of leather on willow can be heard in Spianada Square – the largest city square in the Balkan region - where a manicured cricket pitch spreads out incongruously below the Mediterranean sun. Take the hike up to the 13th-century Paleokastritsa Monastery, where you’ll be escorted by the resident goats, and have to step over cats contentedly rolling around your feet on arrival. This beautiful, daffodil-yellow building is splashed with a fresco of vivid purple fuchsias, and a crowning triad of bells. Inside, explore gold-framed frescoes, and watch as monks squeeze oil from the monastery’s trees’ bounty. Wander out among the groves to views of Corfu’s never-ending sea reaching out to the horison below you. Corfu’s sweeping sand beaches and hidden coves display the full spectrum of vivid Mediterranean seaside colours – which shift from turquoise greens to cobalt blues. The famous Canal d’Amour is a gorgeous inlet, and island legend says couples who swim together in this narrow channel of water stay together forever. Enjoy an afternoon sit-down and drink of ginger tea, or something a little stronger in the form of Corfu’s famous, radiant orange, kumquat liqueur.

Katakolon (Olympia), Greece
Holding the torch as the spiritual home of the Olympic Games, Olympia has an enduring legacy, and its values echo around the world during humanity's greatest sporting contest. Come ashore at Katakolon - a small port village on the Peloponnese peninsula facing the Ionian Sea, and relax on beautiful Kourouta Beach. Or, head inland through this legendary destination to the historic home of the Olympic Games. Located in the valley of the River Alfeios, Olympia is a staggering archaeological site of immense ruins and an enduring legacy. Visit the museum and Olympia Stadium - where the ancient games were held in honor of the Greek god Zeus. As many as 45,000 spectators fit into the mud seats, to witness the ultimate contest of athleticism. See the stand where judges would sit and the white blocks where runners would line up to compete. The tradition continues stronger than ever, and the Olympic flame of the modern games is ignited by the sun here, in the ruins of the Temple of Hera. It is then taken to spread the Olympic values across the globe. The Temple of Zeus, and the Statue of Zeus - one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - also stood here in all of their glory. Hewn from limestone, the temple contained the 13-meter-tall statue of Zeus, which was sculpted by Phidias - one of Ancient Greece's finest artists. Although the statue has been destroyed, you can walk the temple's ruins and see the guesthouse where the majestic wonder was painstakingly crafted.

Monemvasia (Laconia), Greece
A town of rustic, lyrically romantic beauty, Monemvasia boasts a glorious natural setting - perched on a colossal rock island, which rears spectacularly from the waves. A truly unique castle city, the island is linked to the mainland by just a single solitary causeway. It is hard to imagine a better - and more impenetrable - setting for a fortress town than this, and the rock is laced with tight cobbled streets, exposed stone masonry, and pretty Byzantine churches. Known as the Gibraltar of Greece, you would be forgiven for assuming that the limestone monolith was unoccupied as you approach from the seas. Look a little closer, however, and you'll begin to pick out the ancient walls and terracotta roofs of the quaint town clinging to its steep, dramatic slopes - and the walls of the fortress crowning it. A natural stronghold of overwhelming romantic beauty - the rock is said to lend couples wedded here extra strong foundations to build from. Arrive on the island to wander the historic knot of streets of a true Adriatic wonder. Encounter gorgeous, tree-shaded terraces, which look out across the rippling blue waves. Visit the picturesque Church of Christ Elkomenos, where you can shelter in the cool interior, and see storied religious iconography. A historic paved pathway twists back on itself, rising sharply up the slope on a daunting ascent to the now uninhabited upper fortress. The views from here are even more incredible, as you look down across the rustic domes of the lower village's churches and stone-paved streets below.

Souda Bay (Crete), Greece
Enter Souda Bay to land on Greece's largest island, and explore the sun-soaked charms of this fascinating land of legends, landscapes, and luxuries. Packed with beautiful beaches and rich maritime history, Souda Bay's huge natural harbor is a spectacular entrance, opening up the treasures of Crete's many well-stocked museums, rich archaeological sites, and charming Venetian fishing towns. The massive natural harbor of Souda Bay also makes the site an interesting spot for military history - with a huge NATO base here, as well as the Souda Bay War Cemetery, which honors Allied soldiers of World War II. Soak up some Mediterranean sunshine by heading straight to one of the luxurious white sand beaches - where you can recline to a soundtrack of fizzing waves, and dine with sparkling sea views stretching out before you. Explore olive groves producing golden oil, and savor the deep, fruity flavors. The island's renowned wineries, also invite you to sample lovingly-crafted Vilana grape wines. Rethymno's old town and star-shaped, seafront fortress are impressive sites to explore, or you can head to Akrotiri to discover the Arkadi Monastery's role in the Cretan resistance - and visit the site where the Greek flag was hoisted high into the sky by rebels in 1897. Crete retains its independent spirit but has gathered countless influences over its history. The island's most beautiful Venetian port - Chania - is close by, and its picturesque old town and collage of historical influences are a highlight of any trip.

Santorini, Greece
Breathlessly romantic, and incredibly scenic, the azure domes and whitewash buildings that cascade down Santorini's slopes are prime honeymoon material - and relentlessly romantic. A true gem of the Cycladic Island group, Santorini is startlingly pretty, and its white windmills and dazzling villages are incredibly easy on the eye. Envy-inducing and evocatively beautiful, Santorini's sunsets are legendary, and the island is a highlight of any voyage to the Greek islands. Look out over the endless expanse of blue waves, filling the massive volcanic caldera of Santorini - and absorb one of the most spectacular views in the world. The sheer rock shoulders of the caldera create an immense, natural amphitheater - so enjoy the show, as you sip a local, volcanic-mineral enhanced white wine, and fall in love all over again. Any meal is well rounded off with the famous wine, Vinsanto. The east side of the island may lack the incredible panoramas, but it's ideal if all you want to do is recline on volcanic-sand beaches - which range in hues from charcoal-black to flame-red. This beautiful island was forged by powerful volcanic activity, and you can learn more about the huge eruption of 1,600 BCE - which wiped out the Minoan city at Akrotiri. The eruption sank the center of the island, forming the moon-shaped topography we see now. Visit the archaeological site that has revealed and preserved the village, which was lost to time below the pumice and ash. Some whisper that this destroyed town may even be the fabled Atlantis.

Rhodes, Greece
With an endless sun-soaked season, earthy history, and vibrant culture, the island of Rhodes has it all. At the crossroads between continents, and sandwiched between Crete and Turkey's coastline, Rhodes has swayed between many mighty civilizations throughout its tumultuous history. Part of the Dodecanese Islands, which are sprinkled across the blissfully blue Aegean Sea, dive into this island of dazzling beaches, historic medieval towns, and whitewashed villages. Crusted with turrets and walls, alluding to its strategic significance over the years. Incredible history has been left behind, and the cobbled streets of the UNESCO World Heritage site listed Old Town are some of Europe's best. Wander back through time, with occasional minarets from Ottoman-era mosques rising from the tangle of Medieval history, and the smells of cinnamon, cumin, and pepper lingering above stone-paved streets. Discover inviting outdoor restaurants, which spill across flower-filled courtyards, and enjoy fresh Greek cuisine with an Eastern influence. The preserved columns of Lindos's spectacular Ancient Greek Acropolis watch out over electric blue water, while the Gothic Medieval stronghold of the 14th-century Palace of the Grand Masters of the Knights of Rhodes, adds more fascinating history to explore. Fragrant, pine tree-coated hills, and gorgeous beaches of eye-watering blue water, offer your choice of unbridled relaxation or thrilling action, and you can raise the pulse with water sports, or shelter in coves with shocks of turquoise water and monolithic rock formations.

Athens (Piraeus), Greece
A city of legend, civilization, and enduring culture, Athens is a majestic and magical urban sprawl. Extraordinary elegance and grace combine with grit and graft in Greece's capital, where highways encase ruins from antiquity, and gleaming museums and galleries stand beside concrete sprayed with edgy street art. These contrasts enhance and elevate the wonders of this 2,500-year-old city, however, which counts extraordinary contributions to philosophy, drama, and democracy, among its global legacy. Piraeus's giant port and naval base welcome you to the edge of Athens' urban area. From there it's a simple jaunt to the center. The majestic ancient citadel of the Acropolis dominates an elevated platform and is a constant presence as you explore the city. The wonderful remains of the columned temple of the Parthenon - which date back to the 5th century BC - stand here, representing the pinnacle of classical architecture. The nearby Acropolis Museum adds context to your visit and frames the broad views from its giant glass windows. Or rise up Mount Lycabettus, to be rewarded with perhaps Athens' best panorama of the Acropolis sitting high over the city on its grand stage. See the marble horseshoe of the Old Olympic Stadium, where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896, for more of the city's enduring legacy. Elsewhere, golden beaches and temples stretch out along the coastline, should you wish to explore a little further afield. Coffee is an art form to the Greeks, and it's an unwritten rule that coffee time must never be rushed. So prepare to settle down for a couple of hours and lose yourself in a good chat. Feeling hungry - try traditional souvlaki made with sauces handed from generation to generation.

Discover Bari: Scenic Drive & Old Town Walking Tour
BRI-AExperience the scenic beauty and Old World charm of Bari during a memorable half-day walking tour of this historic city. Depart the pier for a scenic drive along Bari's seafront and modern district to the old town centre. En route, a photo stop is made at the Swabian Castle. Swabian Castle Originally built by Frederick II upon earlier Norman fortifications, the Swabian Castle's present appearance is the result of modifications carried out by the Aragonese family in the 1500s, when the castle became the residence of Isabel of Aragon. Bari Upon arrival in Bari's city centre, commence your walking tour of the Old Town to explore the historic sites and gain an insight into the local lifestyle. Along the way, an external visit is made to the Cathedral of Saint Sabino. Dedicated to Saint Sabino, this Apulian-Romanesque style cathedral was built in the second half of the 12th century. Next, your walking tour proceeds through Strada del Carmine before arriving at the Basilica of Saint Nicholas. Basilica of Saint Nicholas The symbol of Bari, the basilica houses the mortal remains of Saint Nicholas. According to a local legend, 62 sailors went to Myra, Turkey in 1087, stole the saint's remains and brought them to Bari. Consecrated in 1197, the church is one of the masterpieces of the Apulian-Romanesque style, and features an imposing limestone façade flanked by two large bell towers. The interior hosts two unique examples of Medieval sculpture: a ciborium with figured capitals, and the bishop's throne, known as 'Elia's Chair'. The basilica is a place of pilgrimage, particularly for believers from Eastern Europe. The impressive, ornately-decorated crypt is adorned with rich colours. Leaving the basilica, proceed for the short walk to Via Venezia, Piazza Mercantile and Piazza Ferrarese. Following your walking tour, some free time is made available to further explore the Old Town's narrow cobbled streets and squares, impressive façades of Medieval buildings and ancient walls. You may also sip a cappuccino at a local café and watch the locals going about their daily routine. At the conclusion of your visit, re-board the coach for the return drive to the pier, or spend some additional time in the city and return to the ship at your own expense. Full participation requires being in good physical condition and may involve inclines, steps, uneven surfaces, and/or extended periods of standing.

Elegant Trani, Olive Oil Mill & Tasting
BRI-KThe first part of the one-hour drive to Trani goes through Bari's newer area along the seafront road. Your guide will point out some of the imposing buildings which are a legacy of the Fascist architecture with which Mussolini sought to recall the glories of ancient Rome and to signify his powerful influence. The journey continues northwest up the scenic coastal route to the lovely seaside town of Trani. The elegant cathedral, a splendid example of Apulian Romanesque architecture, stands with its soaring bell tower on one side of the U-shaped harbor facing the vast, almost modernist Swabian Castle on the other. Trani Cathedral is one of the finest examples of churches in the Apulian Romanesque style, boasting a delicately carved 13th-century main portal and the magnificent late-12th-century bronze doors cast by Barisano da Trani with their 32 relief panels decorated with figures of Christ, the Virgin, Apostles and Saints. Also from the 12th century are fragments of fine mosaic floor tiles near the main altar. The cathedral's interior was embellished with Baroque decorations in the 19th century but later restored to its original Romanesque appearance in 1952-55. From the side aisles you will reach the crypt dedicated to St. Nicholas the Pilgrim built, along with the lower church of Santa Maria, over a Paleochristian site housing a rectangular hypogeum. This is the underground tomb of Saint Leucius, the first bishop of Brindisi. After the visit you will have some free time to wander around this lovely town locally known as 'the slow town' and sit and relax in one of its charming cafes. At the right time of day you may see the hustle and bustle of the local fish market, but in any case the lively fishing port, wide paved streets and elegant buildings are a pleasure in themselves. A stroll along Trani's harbour brings you back to the coach to continue your tour towards Bisceglie. Like much of Apulia, the Bisceglie area is renowned for its robust extra virgin olive oil, mainly pressed from Cima di Bitonto and Coratina cultivars. A short drive through countryside dotted with sculpture-like olive trees takes you to a leading oil producer's, where you will learn about olive harvesting and oil production and take part in an oil tasting. You will be served with what they call a snack - Cerignola olives, artichokes, aubergines, sweet peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, zucchini, wild Lampascioni onions - all obviously pickled in olive oil, roasted sweet peppers and roasted onions, Caprese Salad, Altamura bread, Bisceglie focaccia bread, taralli biscuits, toasted bruschetta, fresh fruit and local dessert, washed down with mineral water and Primitivo di Manduria wine. It is time for the drive back to Bari after having nourished soul and body with culture, tradition and flavors. aving nourished soul and body with culture, tradition and flavors.

Matera & Unesco Sassi District with Lunch
BRI-EThe approximately 1 hour 30 minute-drive from Bari to Matera goes through the rich arable Apulian farmland and hills where durum wheat is grown to produce the traditional yellowish bread known as Pane di Altamura. Upon arrival in Matera, your tour guide will lead you through labyrinthine narrow alleys and stairways to explore the timeless World Heritage Sassi. Matera's unique landscape is due to its position on the edge of a ravine, with the old town center split into two by a small hill called Civita, where the medieval town stands. An aerial view of the city shows a butterfly with Civita as its body and the two wings fanning out into the separate districts of Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso. Sassi translates into "stones", or "rocks" in English. Caves in the ravine's soft limestone were inhabited by ancient man, whose descendants added stone to create rock dwellings and churches in the cliff face. You can easily translate Sassi as Stones into English, curiously referring to the origin of the settlements you are going to visit. Sassi were partly built and partly carved out of the soft ravine limestone: houses and grottoes, or churches and grottoes at the same time, where life in the past was really hard and the economy was based upon pasture, because agriculture was quite impossible in a stone context! Sassi were considered one of Southern Italy's examples of poverty, but they have been transformed into the most important cultural heritage nowadays, so you will easily understand the reason why such a strange settlement has been listed among the UNESCO sites. Your guide will describe the "vicinati", in which small groups of neighbors living in damp one-room cave dwellings with their livestock clung together around little yards, labyrinths of winding streets, rock churches and cellars, sharing what little they had with the families living nearby. Visit a cave dwelling furnished as it used to be until as recently as the 1960s, and learn about how the locals eked out a living here. After visiting the Sassi with their rupestrian dwellings and churches it is time to enjoy a sit-down lunch in one of Matera's most famous restaurants. The four-course meal of regional dishes includes an appetizer, entrée, main course and dessert served with mineral water and the local Aglianico wine. After lunch you have half an hour to wander round or relax before boarding the coach to head across the ravine for a breathtaking panoramic view of Matera and its ravine, where Mel Gibson's movie "The Passion of the Christ" was filmed on location. There will be much to reminisce over during the drive back to the pier. Full participation requires being in good physical condition and may involve inclines, steps, uneven surfaces, and/or extended periods of standing. A meal is included in the excursion.

Game of Thrones Discovery on Foot
DBV-MWelcome to King's Landing and become part of the epic HBO series Game of Thrones. The Old Town is so stunningly striking that it seems to have leapt directly from the pages of George R. R Martin's addictive series of novels and it is no coincidence that Dubrovnik was also a capital city in its own right - of the now extinct Republic of Ragusa. On this tour, you will be taken through all the parts of the Old City where some of the most memorable scenes from the ongoing cultural phenomenon were filmed. Old Town of Dubrovnik, Pile Gate, Lovrijenac Fort, City Walls The sights seen will include The Pile Gate where King Joffrey faced a citizens' riot and the Lovrijenac fort, where the unsuccessful attack on King's Landing, known as the Battle of Blackwater, took place. All of the filming locations and commentary from your local guide will be accompanied by large, A4-sized photos that show the screen-shot from the appropriate episode and what took place. Of course, the people of Dubrovnik are also fiercely proud of their own fascinating history which your guide will also inform you about, alongside the Game of Thrones commentary. Tour will conclude at the Stardun (main city street) and will have opportunity to explore the town on your own or take the tender boat back to the ship.
