Winter Italy and the Dalmatian Coast
Dec 12, 2027 — Dec 20, 2027
Starting from
CIVITAVECCHIA, ROME → VENICE
8 Nights on Star Explorer
Leave the crowds behind and experience Italy and the Adriatic from a different perspective on this unique off-season voyage. See popular attractions like the Sistine Chapel, St. Mark’s Square, and Pompeii with fewer people, giving you time to absorb the talent of Michelangelo, the ravishing beauty of Venice, and the tragedy of Pompeii. You’ll find more intimate and meaningful experiences everywhere you go as locals take the place of visitors. Walk the legendary walls of Dubrovnik’s Old Town and take your time looking over the red roofs of the medieval city during an overnight stay. Hike in tranquil Dalmatian parks, dine in family homes in small villages, and learn to cook authentic pizza in a Sicilian kitchen.
Popular Highlights
Enjoy an overnight in Dubrovnik with time to tour the Old City and medieval wall, both fascinating UNESCO sites.
Discover how history reveals itself in Taormina’s still used Greek Theater and its charming village streets.
Hear the haunting music of Zadar’s large sea organ, located along the city promenade.
Discover the magic St. Mark’s Square and the majestic cathedral in Venice during your overnight.
Visit Herculaneum, an ancient city located just southeast of Naples. Destroyed by the Vesuvius eruption, this city is preserved far better than Pompeii.
In this enchanting city the past and present intersect in perfect harmony. Casually intermingled among ancient ruins and majestic cathedrals are the trappings of a modern metropolis: Skyscrapers,cafes, boutiques selling designer footwear. But of course what you seek first in the heart of Rome is its breathtaking history. A good place to begin is the Vatican, with its Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. Works by Bernini, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Raphael are just a few of those on display, any one of which is worth hours of contemplation. Then the ancient ruins-Colosseum, Forum, Circus Maximus. And of course the Trevi Fountain for the obligatory coins promising your return to the Eternal City.
Less than two hours from Rome, the port city of Naples was founded by the Greeks, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is unlike any other city in Italy. It is a busy, bustling place where mini-operettas take place on street corners, Vespas scoot across the pedestrian piazzas, the small narrow streets are hanging thick with laundry and graffiti is everywhere. But Naples is full of archaeological treasures that are among the most impressive in the world, including breathtaking frescoes and sculptures. Its beautiful palaces, castles and churches make Rome look provincial. And the food in Naples is among the best you'll find in Italy, serving decadent pizza, pasta, coffee, and seafood dishes you'll never forget.

The cobblestone streets of Messina, Sicily, are the perfect launching point for an optional visit to nearby Taormina. Stroll along flower-filled streets in search of a delightful lunch or an artist's palette of colorful gelati. The ancient Greek Theater is an ideal place to sit back and admire shimmering waters below and Mount Etna, languidly smoking in the distance.
While larger ships must pass by, we anchor right beyond the famous walled city so you can admire its beauty with every glance. Tender ashore and step right into Old Town, a UNESCO site where no cars are allowed, just eons of history. Capture the exhilarating views on your camera - and in your memory. End your day at the Buza Café (if you can find it) watching bold divers leap off the cliffs into the crystalline sea.

Something here will capture your heart. A Roman amphitheater, 9th century churches, and museums packed with Byzantine-era artworks crowd the peninsula that tidily contains the Old Town. It's a tempting way to spend the day for sure. While away the day listening to Zadar's giant Sea Organ, a haunting musical improv performed by the surging Adriatic or share a bench with a sun-drunk cat as you bite into a truffle.
