Dave Koz and Friends
at Sea Presents
Jewels of the Adriatic
Hosted by Dave Koz, host of the annual Dave Koz and Friends at Sea cruise.
Somma is a once-a-year voyage built around music, beautiful places, and the people you meet along the way.
November 6 - 13, 2026
Greece | Montenegro | Croatia | Italy
On Somma, the rhythm is intentionally unhurried. Intimate music moments, thoughtful gatherings, and time to relax or explore at your own pace.
A Welcome from Dave
I’m honored to welcome you to our third Somma voyage.
Each year I host Somma alongside Dave Koz & Friends at Sea, and this week is intentionally different. Somma is quieter, more spacious, and built to let you really take in the places we visit—and the people you’re traveling with.
We move through smaller ports along the Adriatic at an easy pace. Some days you’ll want to head ashore and wander. Other days you might choose the ship, a good meal, and a little time to yourself. Both are part of the design.
What I love most is what happens on board. People arrive not knowing anyone, and by the end of the week you see new friendships everywhere—at dinner, at the shows, and in those small moments in between.
If this kind of week sounds good to you, I'd love to have you join us as part of our Somma family.
Warmly,
Dave
The Somma Journey
Somma moves at a steady pace.
Mornings are quiet. Coffee. Sea air. The ship making its way toward the next stop.
Some days you’ll walk a small harbor and find a corner café. Other days you may do very little at all—and that’s part of what makes the week work. There’s no pressure to keep up.
Afternoons tend to open up. Time feels less scheduled and more like your own.
Evenings are the heart of it. Live performances in warm, intimate rooms. Guests seated close. Artists invited by Dave, fully present in the moment.
It’s a refined week, but not formal. Personal, not busy. With room to rest, connect, and take each day as it comes.

The Adriatic Region
We begin in Athens, then travel along the Adriatic to smaller ports—places with character, history, and time to take it in.
Athens, Greece
A storied start, with early light along the harbor.
Bari, Italy
Warm streets, simple cafés, and an easy first taste of Italy.
Kotor, Montenegro
A sheltered bay, stone walls, and water that stays calm even when the world feels far away.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Ancient streets above the sea, best enjoyed at your own pace.
Split, Croatia
Old stone, open squares, and an unforced rhythm.
Zadar, Croatia
Roman history, sea air, and quiet corners if you look for them.
Venice, Italy
A steady arrival, with time to enjoy the city in your own way.
Each stop has its own mood. The week connects them with a pace that stays easy.
Performances and Conversations That Stay With You
Music is at the heart of Somma.
Alongside intimate performances, Somma features conversations with world-class thinkers, storytellers, and cultural figures — from writers and explorers to business leaders and innovators.
These are presented as interviews and talks in smaller settings, designed to be listened to, not rushed through.
Like the music, they’re meant to be experienced up close, with time to stay and reflect.
Guest Suites
Every room aboard Silver Nova is a suite.
Suites are quiet, comfortable, and filled with natural light—an easy place to come back to, take a breath, and watch the coastline change.
Details are thoughtful and understated. Comfort comes first, and the space supports the pace of the week.
Your Voyage
Your fare includes your suite, meals throughout the day, a wide selection of complimentary beverages, attentive service, gratuities, complimentary Wi-Fi, and nightly programming.
Optional guided excursions and spa services are available if you’d like to add more structure to your days—otherwise, you can keep things simple and unplanned.
Some suites include dedicated service that adds another layer of ease on board.
The Silver Nova
This Somma voyage takes place aboard the Silversea Silver Nova—a modern small ship known for quiet comfort, thoughtful design, and attentive service.
There’s space to spread out, plenty of calm corners, and a flow that stays easy throughout the day. Its size also allows access to smaller ports, without giving up the feeling of a refined shipboard experience.
Silver Nova supports the Somma rhythm without distraction—so the focus stays on the journey, the music, and the community that forms on board.
