About This Cruise
The 7 Night A Journey of Shimmering Piazzas, Lavender-Scented Hills & Byzantine Grandeur is a 7-night round-trip itinerary aboard Explora I. You board and return in Venice, calling at 12 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Venice), Slovenia (Koper), Croatia (Hvar, Dubrovnik), Greece (Monemvasia, Syros, Piraeus and 2 more), Montenegro (Kotor), Croatia (Split, Rovinj) and 1 more.
Because it's round-trip from Venice, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. 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.
