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.

Read more →Dubrovnik cruise port is the southern gateway to Croatia's Adriatic coast and one of the most visually striking stops in the Mediterranean. 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 →Kotor cruise port is one of the most visually spectacular arrivals in the Adriatic. Ships sail through a deep fjord-like bay (Boka Kotorska) surrounded by limestone mountains that rise steeply from the water, with the walled medieval town of Kotor tucked at the base.
Read more →Rome's cruise port is in Civitavecchia, a working port town about 80 kilometers northwest of the city. That distance is the single most important thing to understand about this stop.
