About This Cruise
The 15 Night Italy, France, Malta, Croatia & Montenegro is a 15-night one-way itinerary aboard Seabourn Ovation. You board in Genoa and disembark in Istanbul, calling at 25 ports across 11 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Genoa, La Spezia), Corsica (Bonifacio), Sardinia (Cagliari), Tunisia (Tunis), Italy (Trapani), Sicily (Palermo) and 2 more, among others.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Genoa and home from Istanbul, 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.
