Silver Shadow: 12-Night Mediterranean
This 12-night Mediterranean (Western) cruise aboard the Silver Shadow by Silversea Cruises sails from Venice to Nice (Villefranche), departing June 24, 2027, calling at Pula, Sibenik, Split, and 6 more ports, and returns July 6, 2027. Cabin prices start from $7,310 per person.
Venice is one of the world's most famous cruise destinations and a major embarkation port for Eastern Mediterranean and Adriatic itineraries. But cruising to Venice has changed significantly since 2021, when Italy banned large cruise ships (over 25,000 gross tonnage) from transiting the Giudecca Canal and St. Mark's basin due to environmental and structural concerns.

Ships dock at Port Gruž, about 3 kilometers northwest of the Old Town, with the walled medieval city perched on a rocky peninsula jutting into the sea.
Read more →Valletta cruise port is one of the most visually dramatic arrivals on any Mediterranean itinerary. Ships sail into the Grand Harbour, a deep natural inlet flanked by honey-colored limestone walls that rise straight out of the water, with Valletta itself perched on the peninsula above.
Read more →Naples cruise port is one of the most popular stops on Mediterranean itineraries, and it's easy to see why. The city sits on the Bay of Naples with Mount Vesuvius looming behind it, and it serves as the gateway to Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, Capri, and Sorrento.
Read more →Florence (Livorno) cruise port is the main Tuscan stop on Mediterranean itineraries, but it's worth being clear about what you're actually docking at. The port is Livorno, a working industrial city on the Ligurian coast, about 85 kilometers west of Florence.
Read more →Nice is the capital of the French Riviera, a Mediterranean city of about 340,000 people wedged between the Maritime Alps and the Cote d'Azur coastline. Cruise ships anchor in the bay at Villefranche-sur-Mer, a small harbor town about 6 km east of Nice, or occasionally dock at Nice's own port.
