Day 1: Venice, Italy | Embark

Venice stands as the quintessential heart and soul of romance. The cityscape features the rounded domes of San Marco, the evocative Bridge of Sighs, and the Renaissance splendors of the Doge's Palace. La Fenice Opera House recalls the musical legacies of Verdi, Puccini, and Caruso, while the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore showcases classic Palladian proportions. A gondola ride down the Grand Canal completes the experience, confirming that an atmosphere of enduring romance permeates the city.

Day 2: At Sea

Each Star Clippers ship offers a traditional and elegant way to see the world. Feel the wind fill the sails and gently carry you from one gorgeous destination to the next. During your time on board, you can choose to relax on a sun lounger or cool off in one of the pools on the top deck, while more adventurous passengers may enjoy the opportunity to climb the rigging or even have a go at steering the ship. Alternatively, you can wander the interior areas of the ship and discover relaxing lounges, a revitalizing spa and a peaceful library.

Day 3: Kotor, Montenegro

This stunning rock-walled chasm splitting the coastal mountains of Montenegro is the longest arm of the sea in southern Europe. Boka harbors one of the prettiest, unspoiled towns you can ever see, the medieval city of Kotor. Founded by the Romans, fortified during the Byzantine era, then ruled by Venice for much of its history, Kotor has been naturally preserved by its isolation.

Day 4: Monopoli, Italy

Set along the Adriatic coast, this historic Italian town captivates with its whitewashed buildings, narrow alleys, and charming seaside views. The ancient harbor is filled with colorful fishing boats, giving the town an authentic and lively atmosphere. Visitors can explore medieval churches, relax on pristine beaches, and savor delicious Apulian cuisine in this picturesque coastal destination.

Day 5: Korcula, Croatia

Framed by dense green forests of allepo pine and twisted cypress, the red tile roofs of Korcula, whose most famous native son was Marco Polo, form an inviting picture. The pale wheat-colored stone Cathedral of St. Mark houses a treasure trove of Dalmatia.

Day 6: Trogir, Croatia

Steeped in history and surrounded by the clear waters of the Adriatic, Trogir is one of Croatia’s best-preserved medieval towns - a UNESCO World Heritage Site of extraordinary beauty. Passengers can stroll through its narrow cobbled streets, where Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance buildings stand side by side, or relax in a café along the waterfront promenade. Highlights include the magnificent Cathedral of St. Lawrence and the elegant Kamerlengo Fortress overlooking the harbor. Compact, atmospheric, and filled with charm, Trogir is a living museum of Dalmatian history and a perfect place to simply wander, discover, and unwind.

Day 7: Cres, Croatia

Cres, situated in the Adriatic Sea, is Croatia's largest island. With its unspoiled landscapes, picturesque villages and secluded coves, Cres offers striking contrasts for a tranquil getaway in unspoiled natural surroundings.

Day 8: Venice, Italy | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
Disembark after breakfast and continue your independent trip back home.

Venice is the heart and soul of romance. Cast your eye on the rounded domes of San Marco, take a deep breath at the Bridge of Sighs, gaze on the golden lions and the Renaissance glories of the Doge's Palace, listen for the ghosts of Verdi, Puccini and Caruso at La Fenice Opera House, gape at the classic Palladian proportions of the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, glide in a gondola down the Grand Canal. And know that love is always in the air in Venice.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
