About This Cruise
The 14 Night Ancient Mediterranean Antiquities is a 14-night one-way itinerary aboard Viking Star. You board in Civitavecchia (Rome) and disembark in Canakkale, calling at 8 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Civitavecchia, Naples), Sicily (Messina), Crete (Chania), Turkey (Kusadasi), Greece (Iraklion, Rhodes) and Turkey (Kusadasi, Canakkale).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Civitavecchia (Rome) and home from Canakkale, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 4 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.
