Jewels of the Adriatic |
7 Days of Luxury
This itinerary moves through the Adriatic with a sense of continuity and care, beginning in Athens and concluding in Venice. Each stop offers its own character and scale, from historic harbors and walled towns to smaller coastal cities shaped by daily life along the water.
Rather than rushing from place to place, the journey allows time for each destination to be experienced on its own terms. Days unfold with a natural rhythm, shaped by where you are, the pace of the ship, and the choices you make along the way.
Time ashore is balanced with time at sea. Evenings bring people together for music, conversation, and shared meals, creating a sense of familiarity that deepens as the week goes on. What often stands out most is not only where you travel, but the connections that form through repeated moments spent together.
The result is a voyage that feels cohesive and personal, shaped as much by the people you meet as by the places you visit, and remembered for how it felt long after the journey ends.
Ports of Call
Athens, Greece
(Piraeus)
Athens brings together layers of history and everyday life in a way that feels immediate and lived in.
Ancient sites sit alongside active neighborhoods, local cafés, and a food culture that rewards curiosity. It’s a city that invites wandering, conversation, and time spent taking things in rather than rushing from one landmark to the next.
Athens offers a natural beginning to the Somma journey, setting a tone that feels thoughtful, open, and connected to place.
Day at Sea
A day at sea offers time to slow the pace and settle into the rhythm of the voyage.
Without a port to reach, the focus turns inward and outward at once. Time is spent enjoying the ship, the music, the conversations, and the simple presence of the horizon as it moves alongside you.
These days often become a quiet highlight of the week, creating space to rest, connect, and enjoy the journey as it unfolds.
Bari, Italy
Bari offers a direct connection to the Adriatic, shaped by everyday life along the coast.
The old town unfolds through narrow streets where food, conversation, and daily rhythms are part of the landscape. There is time to wander, taste local cooking, and experience the city without feeling rushed.
Bari’s pace feels open and welcoming, making it a natural stop for settling into the flow of the journey.
Kotor, Montenegro
Kotor sits within a sheltered bay, framed by mountains and defined by stillness.
The walled old town invites slow wandering through narrow streets and open squares, with a scale that feels human and easy to take in. The surrounding landscape creates a sense of enclosure that makes time feel slower here.
Kotor’s calm pace and setting leave a lasting impression, offering a moment of quiet contrast within the journey.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Dubrovnik is defined by stone, light, and its close relationship to the sea.
The old city unfolds within its walls through narrow streets, open squares, and long views across the water. Walking the city is as much about noticing details as it is about taking in the larger setting.
Time here feels active yet contained, offering a balance of history, movement, and coastal calm that fits naturally into the rhythm of the journey.
Split, Croatia
Split is a city where daily life moves through ancient stone.
Diocletian’s Palace forms the heart of the city, its passages opening onto cafés, small shops, and gathering places woven into everyday routines. The waterfront promenade adds an easy coastal rhythm, inviting time spent walking, sitting, and taking in the surroundings.
Split feels open and approachable, making exploration feel natural rather than planned.
Zadar, Croatia
Zadar sits at the meeting point of history and everyday coastal life.
Roman and Venetian influences remain visible throughout the old town, while the waterfront provides space to walk, pause, and take in the changing light. The Sea Organ adds a subtle presence, shaped by the movement of the water rather than performance.
Zadar’s scale and pace create a visit that feels calm and unforced, offering a quieter moment along the Adriatic route.
Venice, Italy
(Fusina)
Venice unfolds at the water’s edge, shaped by canals, stone, and a pace unlike any other city.
Its streets encourage wandering rather than planning, with moments of stillness found between bridges, cafés, and open squares. Movement here feels slower, guided by water and footpaths rather than traffic or routine.
As the final stop of the journey, Venice offers time to reflect, linger, and experience the city in a way that feels personal and unhurried.
