14 Night Mediterranean Cruise

Marghera cruise port is the mainland industrial port serving Venice, located about 10 kilometers northwest of the historic center. Since 2021, large cruise ships (over 25,000 gross tons) have been banned from sailing into Venice via the Giudecca Canal due to environmental and structural concerns for the fragile historic city.

Split cruise port is the main gateway to central Dalmatia and one of the most remarkable cities in Croatia. The city is built around and inside Diocletian's Palace, a 1,700-year-old Roman fortress that the emperor built as his retirement residence around 300 AD.

Bari cruise port is the principal port of Italy's Apulia (Puglia) region on the Adriatic coast, about 450 kilometers southeast of Rome. Ships dock at the New Port, a short walk from Bari's old town (Bari Vecchia), a tangle of white-walled medieval streets wrapped around the cathedral and the Basilica of San Nicola.

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.

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.

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.
