Your home for all 12 nights aboard Viking Saturn — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 12 Night Mediterranean Odyssey is a 12-night one-way itinerary aboard Viking Saturn. You board in Marseille and disembark in Split, calling at 8 ports across 4 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in France (Marseille, Villefranche), Italy (Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples), Greece (Corfu) and Croatia (Dubrovnik, Split).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Marseille and home from Split, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 3 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.
