About This Cruise
The 12 Night Ancient Isles & Empires Trieste to Istanbul is a 12-night one-way itinerary aboard Oceania Marina. You board in Trieste and disembark in Istanbul, calling at 11 ports across 4 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Trieste), Croatia (Zadar), Italy (Bari), Croatia (Dubrovnik), Greece (Corfu, Rhodes, Santorini and 1 more) and Turkey (Kusadasi, Izmir, Canakkale and 1 more).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Trieste and home from Istanbul, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 1 day 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.
