Itineraries
Day 1
Piraeus (Athens) (Embark)
Upon arrival in Athens, you’ll be transported to the Seabourn Ovation, your luxurious vessel for the journey ahead. Settle into your new home and take advantage of the ship’s exceptional inclusions—from fine dining to unlimited premium beverages—or spend some free time ashore discovering the city at your own pace. Piraeus has been the port for Athens since 482 BC. The busy harbour is filled with ferries and cruise ships making their way to the Greek Islands and other Mediterranean cities. The busy metropolis of Athens and its treasure trove of antiquities lie just a few miles from the port.
Day 2
Nafplion
Held to be one of the loveliest small towns in Greece, Nafplion has a tradition and culture all its own. The sheltered location, below a rocky headland crowned by a Venetian fortress, is perhaps unrivalled in Greece. After the Greek revolution of the early 19th century, Nafplion served as the first modern capital. The neoclassical houses, large official buildings, and carefully planned seafront streets all date from this period.
Day 3
Day at Sea
Day 4
Kotor
Day 5
Korčula
The Greeks once named this island “Dark Korčula” for its dense forests, which contrasted strikingly against the bright Adriatic Sea. It is the most populous of the Dalmatian isles off the coast near Dubrovnik. Its main port is a classic medieval Dalmatian walled stone town with round towers and red-tiled roofs, perfect for strolling through narrow cobblestone byways and discovering tiny plazas where they join.
Day 6
Hvar
Known as the Queen of the Dalmatian Islands, Hvar blends medieval beauty with a glamorous modern-day appeal. With abundant sunshine, fragrant lavender fields, and crystal-clear waters, it has long drawn celebrities and royalty seeking summer pleasures. Hvar also boasts more UNESCO-listed heritage sites than any other island worldwide.
Day 7
Vodice
The Croatian town of Vodice features the familiar, red-tiled roofs and wide, stone seaside promenades of other Dalmatian ports. Beauty and history lurk around every corner, from historic churches and Roman-era ruins to attractive pebble beaches. Vodice is also an easy jumping point from which to access nearby hotspots, such as the seaside town of Šibenik or the waterfalls and pools of Krka National Park.
Day 8
Piran (Koper)
Day 9
Fusina (Disembark), Venice (Embark)
It’s time to say goodbye to the Seabourn Ovation and make our way to Venice proper to board the S.S. La Venezia, where Uniworld’s crew are waiting to invite you aboard for a week of exceptional experiences in the lagoon.
Day 10
Venice
With your early morning arrival at Doge’s Palace, you’ll be able to marvel at the estate in total peace. Wander through a Venetian neighborhood and experience daily life in an authentic Venetian residential quarter. Later in the evening, cap the day off with a private once-in-a-lifetime experience at an after-hours lighting ceremony inside St. Mark’s Basilica without the crowds.

In the evening, you may wish to take your free time to stroll into town to appreciate this charming island when most of the tourists have left for the evening.
