VENICE → CIVITAVECCHIA, ROME
9 Nights on Wind Spirit
Explore timeless cities to tiny ports of unmatched beauty on one of the classic cruises from Rome to Venice. Pose in front of the Roman Colosseum and see the ancient city of Pompeii. Sail through the breathtaking Bay of Kotor and explore the famously picturesque towns of the Amalfi Coast. Wander the ancient cobblestone streets of the Sicilian town of Taormina and along the famous fortifications of the medieval city of Dubrovnik, dubbed “paradise on earth.” Your cruise will explore some of the most beautiful coastline in the world, places of legends and heroes, inspiration for writers and poets – and in popular culture, filming locations for the popular HBO TV series “Game of Thrones.” The leisurely pace allows time to swim in crystal clear sea and discover hidden beaches; kayak or tour by Zodiac along untouched coastline; visit bucket list sights; and sip, dine, and otherwise discover local culture in three fascinating countries.

No other sea approach in the Adriatic raises goose bumps like Venice, a small ship exclusive where the entire city and its lagoon are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On your luxurious home-away-from home, you arrive already equipped with a sense of what it's like to live in the city that's neither land nor water. Add your own sigh to the Bridge of Sighs, sip a spritz al bitter as you plot your agenda, and let the water taxis do your navigating unless you don't mind getting lost. Not such a bad prospect, with serendipitous discoveries around every corner.

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.
