THE LIQUID ITINERARY CRUISE PORT CHALLENGE

This sailing will also feature the Cruise Port Challenge by Liquid Itinerary.

The idea is simple:

Visit a port.
Ask a local where they eat or drink.
Try something local.
Take a photo.
Collect the story.

Your best souvenir will not be something you buy in a gift shop. It will be the memory you bring home.

Russell and Shelley will be onboard, and guests can take part in the challenge throughout the cruise.

THIS IS YOUR MEDITERRANEAN ADVENTURE

Begin in Rome

Arrive a day or two early and explore one of the world’s greatest cities before boarding the ship. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, tour the Colosseum, visit Vatican City, and enjoy your first real Italian meal before the cruise even begins.

Imagine your first espresso in a quiet Roman piazza before your adventure officially starts.

Santorini

Wake up to whitewashed villages perched on volcanic cliffs overlooking the deep blue Aegean Sea. Spend the day exploring Oia, shopping local boutiques, sampling Greek wine, or simply soaking in one of the world’s most famous views.

Ephesus

Walk streets that have existed for more than 2,000 years. Visit the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, and discover why Ephesus is considered one of the greatest archaeological sites on Earth.

Mykonos

Blue doors. White buildings. Beach clubs. Fresh seafood. Boutique shopping. The perfect Greek island day.

Naples

Will you choose authentic Neapolitan pizza, Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius, the Amalfi Coast, or Capri?

Whatever you choose, your final port may become your favorite.

Havacation Tip:

Yes. You can add a pre-cruise or post-cruise stay, and we can help arrange the details.

Can you help with flights?
Yes. We can assist with airfare guidance.

What excursions do you recommend?
We will recommend select excursions for each port. Russell and Shelley will also identify at least one excursion or port experience they plan to join, so guests who want a group feel can come along. You are also free to explore on your own. It is your vacation, and we can help design it around your travel style.
