Why sail this route
You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 6 countries over 10 nights, starting in Civitavecchia (Rome) and finishing in Piraeus (Athens), with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.
The pacing runs to 15 port days and 5 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

About This Cruise
The 10 Night Adriatic Antiquities: Italy & Croatia is a 10-night one-way itinerary aboard Holland America Oosterdam. You board in Civitavecchia (Rome) and disembark in Piraeus (Athens), calling at 15 ports across 6 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Civitavecchia, Naples), Sicily (Palermo, Messina), Greece (Corfu), Montenegro (Kotor), Croatia (Dubrovnik, Split), Italy (Trieste) and 2 more, among others.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Civitavecchia (Rome) and home from Piraeus (Athens), so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 5 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
