Day by day itinerary
Days
1-2
Venice (Ravenna)
Enjoy included lounge access at your departure airport before flying to Venice. On arrival you will be met and transferred to your Celebrity cruise ship at Ravenna, where you can settle in and enjoy the ship's facilities while you overnight in port.
In the morning, you can choose to visit Venice, one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Take in the sites of St Mark's Square, visit Doge's Palace and make your way to the countless galleries and landmarks this city has to offer. And, once you’ve worked up an appetite, you’ll have no shortage of superb dining options. Squid-ink spaghetti, risotto with prawns and zucchini, and marinated sardines are all specialties, while the world-favourite tiramisu, originally invented in nearby Treviso, has found a happy second home in Venice.

Dubrovnik
Established 1,300 years ago on the far southern tip of the Dalmatian Coast, this city once rivalled Venice in terms of its importance. Take a walking tour to the Dominican Monastery and marvel at the finest collection of Renaissance paintings, including a painting by Titian. Then, Prepare explore the old walled city and admire sweeping views of the Adriatic from its historic rooftops. If beach-going is on the agenda, make sure to wear appropriate footwear as the beaches here tend to be of the pebbly variety. That said, the beautiful emerald green waters and coves make the slight inconvenience more than worthwhile. And, there’s plenty of seafood, specifically mussels and oysters, deliciously prepared in authentic regional styles on offer at restaurants throughout town.

Kotor
A cruise to Kotor, Montenegro offers up some of the most well-preserved architecture in all the Adriatic coast, with landmarks such as the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon. Built in 1166, there are frescoes dating back hundreds of years, and much of the gold and silver relief work done by the city's master craftsmen of that time are held for safe keeping within its walls. Tucked at the secluded tip of a tranquil bay and watched over for millennia by the surrounding mountains, Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage treasure.
The town’s history dates back before the age of Homer, but it’s the medieval wonders in Old Kotor that draw acclaim today. Marbled avenues meander with no apparent order, and, even for locals, it’s quite common to get turned around. The good news is, few places are more fun to get lost in than Kotor and the chance to stumble across a local restaurant might see you tuck into a bowl or the local fish soup – a tradition not to be missed.

Corfu
According to myth, Poseidon honeymooned on this picturesque Greek island—and it's easy to see why. Its breath-taking natural landscape and long history as an artistic and cultural hub make Corfu one of the most cosmopolitan and captivating of the Greek Isles. Wander through the cobblestoned streets of Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or soak up some sun on one of the island's many beaches

7
Naples
Framed by Mount Vesuvius along a dramatic skyline, the 2,800 year-old port city of Naples is chock full of historical sites, churches, and museums that make it a fascinating place for you to explore. For all of Rome’s notoriety and reputation, Naples, with its historic city centre deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has just as many important archeological sites and landmarks. Visit the Museo Archeologico Nazionale for a world-class collection of Egyptian and Graeco-Roman artefacts.
If you’d like to venture a little deeper on your Naples cruise, then exploring Naples from below the ground is a must. Start with a trip into the basement of the San Lorenzo Maggiore church where you’ll find a partially excavated Roman market and a little deeper, just below the Roman ruins, you’ll find remnants from the Greeks to discover. And in the region where pizza was first invented, you know the food is going to be incredible. Whether you’re looking for a thin, wood-fired Margherita pie, spaghetti alle vongole or a zeppole dusted with confectioner’s sugar, Naples and her bountiful edible treasures are sure to please.
