About This Cruise
The 9 Night Empires Of The Mediterranean is a 9-night one-way itinerary aboard Viking Star. You board in Santorini and disembark in Venice, calling at 7 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Greece (Santorini, Katakolon, Corfu and 1 more), Montenegro (Kotor), Croatia (Zadar), Slovenia (Koper) and Italy (Venice).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Santorini and home from Venice, 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.
