About This Cruise
The 9 Night Empires Of The Mediterranean is a 9-night one-way itinerary aboard Viking Mars. You board in Venice and disembark in Santorini, calling at 8 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Venice), Slovenia (Koper), Croatia (Zadar, Dubrovnik), Montenegro (Kotor) and Greece (Corfu, Katakolon, Santorini).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Venice and home from Santorini, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. 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.
