7 Night Mediterranean Cruise (Rome to Venice)

On Board Seven Seas Navigator

Rome, ITALY — Rome offers more adventures and discoveries across its seven hills than can be experienced in several lifetimes. The city's origins are shrouded in romantic legend. See the august monuments of ancient Rome in the Pantheon, the Colosseum and the Forum. Gaze in awe at the Renaissance frescoes of Raphael and Michelangelo. Explore the shops along the Via Condotti near the Trevi Fountain and see the most recognizable structures on earth.

Sorrento, ITALY — The Sorrento Peninsula lies along the Bay of Naples within Italy's Southern region of Campania. The early history of Campania has been traced as far back as the 11th century BC, prior to the establishment of Rome. For many centuries, the Greeks settled along the coastline until the advent of the Roman Empire. In the years that followed, the wealthy Romans built large country homes throughout the region. Take a tour of the scenic and popular Amalfi Drive or visit the ancient ruins of Pompeii.

Naxos - Taormina (Sicily), ITALY — Situated along the Northeast coast of Sicily, Taormina rests 820 feet above the sea overlooking Mount Etna. Its strategic position has attracted many occupants, including the Greeks, Romans and Phoenicians. During the 6th century BC, the Greeks were the first to settle here, building a grand theater. The theater was later remodeled by the Romans. During the Middle Ages, two magnificent palaces, many mansions and elaborate public buildings were erected in the heart of the city. Taormina attracts visitors from the world over, due to its historic sites, mild climate and spectacular scenery.

Corfu, GREECE — Legendary Corfu is a lush and romantic island, written about by Homer in his famous Odyssey. The Corinthians were the first to settle in the 8th century BC. From the 14th - 18th centuries, the Venetians ruled Corfu establishing it as a base for their merchant ships, only to be invaded by the Turks. By 1864, Ionian Islands were granted independence under the Treaty of France, and in 1862 the islands were joined with the new state of Greece. The historic Old Town of Corfu, lying between two Byzantine-era citadels, with its high tenements, narrow serpentine kandounia (streets) and charming little piazzas crammed with cafés and patisseries, will captivate you with the beauty and charm of its Venetian-style architecture, more reminiscent of Venice than of a typical Greek city.

Kotor, GREECE — Discover the magnificent coastal churches, villages and vistas of Montenegro by taking a scenic tour of Kotor and Perast. Take a walk through ancient Greek history during a picturesque walking tour of Old Kotor. The Old City developed within a small triangular area and is enclosed by the town walls, which extend to the Fort of St. John. Perast is a peaceful and quiet Baroque city near Kotor. View the most beautiful 17th- and 18th-century buildings of this small city. Seafaring was expanding at the time, and this lucrative practice produced wealthy captains who erected magnificent villas that are as captivating today as they were the day they were built. In Perast, you can see numerous sacred monuments built between the 12th and 17th century.

Dubrovnik, CROATIA — Founded 1,300 years ago by refugees from Epidaurus, Greece, medieval Dubrovnik (Ragusa) was the most important independent city state on the Adriatic after Venice, Italy. Until the Napoleonic invasion of 1806, it remained an independent republic of merchants and sailors. Stari Grad, the perfectly preserved old town, is unique for its marble-paved squares, steep cobbled streets, tall houses, convents, churches, palaces, fountains, museums, all cut from the same light colored stone. The intact city walls keep motorists at bay, and the southerly position between Split and Albania makes for an agreeable climate and lush vegetation.

Venice, ITALY — Built entirely on water by men who dared defy the sea, Venice is unlike any other city. No matter how many times you have seen it in movies or TV commercials, the real thing is more dreamlike than you could ever imagine. Its landmarks, the Basilica di San Marco and the Palazzo Ducale, seem hardly Italian: delightfully idiosyncratic, they are exotic mixes of Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. Shimmering sunlight and silvery mist soften every perspective here, and you will understand how the city became renowned in the Renaissance for its artists' rendering of color. It's full of secrets, inexpressibly romantic, haunting, and at times given over entirely to pleasure. You'll see Venetians going about their daily affairs in vaporetti (water buses), aboard the traghetti (traditional gondola ferries) that carry them across the Grand Canal, in the campi (squares), and along the calli (narrow streets).
