About This Cruise
The 20 Night Adriatic & Iberia Discovery Venice to Bilbao is a 20-night one-way itinerary aboard Oceania Nautica. You board in Venice and disembark in Bilbao, calling at 19 ports across 8 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Venice), Croatia (Pula, Dubrovnik), Montenegro (Kotor), Greece (Igoumenitsa), Italy (Gallipoli), Sicily (Messina) and 2 more, among others.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Venice and home from Bilbao, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 2 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.
