28th28 | OctOct | 202323 | Venice, Italy, embark on the Emerald Azzurra | ||||
Venice is a city unlike any other. No matter how often you've seen it in photos and films, the real thing is more dreamlike than you could imagine. With canals where streets should be, water shimmers everywhere. The fabulous palaces and churches reflect centuries of history in what was a wealthy trading center between Europe and the Orient. Getting lost in the narrow alleyways is a quintessential part of exploring Venice, but at some point you'll almost surely end up in Piazza San Marco, where tourists and locals congregate for a coffee or an aperitif. Your luxurious yacht cruise begins in Venice, where you'll be transferred to your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht and embark on your discovery of Italy. Please book your flight to arrive into Venice prior to 01:00 PM. | |||||||
29th29 | OctOct | 202323 | Sibenik, Croatia | ||||
Šibenik's main monument, its Gothic-Renaissance cathedral, built of pale-gray Dalmatian stone and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands on a raised piazza close to the seafront promenade. From here a network of narrow, cobbled streets leads through the medieval quarter of tightly packed, terra-cotta–roof houses, and up to the ruins of a 16th-century hilltop fortress. The city has never been a real tourist destination. Before the Croatian war for independence, it was a relatively prosperous industrial center, but when the factories closed, Šibenik sank into an economic depression. However, the cathedral more than warrants a look, and it makes a decent base for visiting the waterfalls of Krka National Park. Known for its UNESCO World Heritage-listed St. James' Cathedral and its famous black and orange hat, Šibenik is a city of tradition. The oldest native town in the country, its origins trace back to 1066 and you'll find history at every turn of its medieval streets and its Square of the Four Wells. Included Excursion Walking tour of Sibenik DiscoverMORE Visit to the falconry centre (extra expense) Exclusive: This evening, guests will enjoy our welcome reception where our acclaimed guest, Below Deck's Chef Ben Robinson, will be introduced. We will also have a raffle where the winner will get the opportunity to enjoy dinner with Chef Ben. | |||||||
30th30 | OctOct | 202323 | Dubrovnik, Croatia | ||||
Nothing can prepare you for your first sight of Dubrovnik. Lying 216 km (135 miles) southeast of Split and commanding a jaw-dropping coastal location, it is one of the world's most beautiful fortified cities. Its massive stone ramparts and fortress towers curve around a tiny harbor, enclosing graduated ridges of sun-bleached orange-tiled roofs, copper domes, and elegant bell towers. Your imagination will run wild picturing what it looked like seven centuries ago when the walls were built, without any suburbs or highways around it, just this magnificent stone city rising out of the sea.In the 7th century AD, residents of the Roman city Epidaurum (now Cavtat) fled the Avars and Slavs of the north and founded a new settlement on a small rocky island, which they named Laus, and later Ragusa. On the mainland hillside opposite the island, the Slav settlement called Dubrovnik grew up. In the 12th century the narrow channel separating the two settlements was filled in (now the main street through the Old Town, called Stradun), and Ragusa and Dubrovnik became one. The city was surrounded by defensive walls during the 13th century, and these were reinforced with towers and bastions in the late 15th century.From 1358 to 1808 the city thrived as a powerful and remarkably sophisticated independent republic, reaching its golden age during the 16th century. In 1667 many of its splendid Gothic and Renaissance buildings were destroyed by an earthquake. The defensive walls survived the disaster, and the city was rebuilt in baroque style.Dubrovnik lost its independence to Napoléon in 1808, and in 1815 passed to Austria-Hungary. During the 20th century, as part of Yugoslavia, the city became a popular tourist destination, and in 1979 it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During the war for independence, it came under heavy siege. Thanks to careful restoration, few traces of damage remain; however, there are maps inside the Pile and Ploče Gates illustrating the points around the city where damage was done. It’s only when you experience Dubrovnik yourself that you can understand what a treasure the world nearly lost Unmistakable terracotta buildings welcome you to Dubrovnik. Once described as "paradise on earth', the city's Old Town has centuries of history ingrained into its walls. It's home to an array of churches, museums, and galleries, including the 7th century Cathedral of the Assumption. Included Excursion Walking tour of Dubrovnik EmeraldPLUS Private Concert in the old city theatre Exclusive: Tonight's menu will feature items customized by Chef Ben (1). | |||||||
31st31 | OctOct | 202323 | Brindisi, Italy | ||||
Life continues in Brindisi as if the 21st century hadn’t arrived. Visually, the landscape is as stunning as one would expect in southern Europe. Villages set on sunlit hilltops rise like islands above a rolling landscape of olive groves and vineyards. The coastline is a striking mixture of ruggedly beautiful cliffs and grottoes interspersed with a scattering of long, sandy beaches. Together with the wealth of historical artefacts and spectacular landscapes, Brindisi is one of Italy’s best kept secrets. Naturally, the cuisine is rich with its pickings from both land and sea and visitors can expect the best pasta, Caprese salad, local lemon loaf and spaghetti al vogole they have ever had! Brindisi, a thriving port city that was often referred as the "Gateway to the East' during Roman times, is your stop for the day. Resting on the edges of the Adriatic Sea, it's one of the largest cities in the Puglia region. Brindisi's quaintness and charm will immediately delight and transport you to a bygone era.

1st01 | NovNov | 202323 | Gallipoli, Italy | ||||
Kalè polis, meaning beautiful city, is the name ancient Greek mariners bestowed on Gallipoli, with good reason. Situated on a mound, the Old Town with its labyrinth of winding lanes, emerges from the Ionian Sea. It is connected to the mainland and modern Gallipoli via a 17th-century bridge. The area lies on the Salentina Peninsula in the extreme southeast end of Italy, commonly referred to as the heel of the boot. The Salento region was inhabited already in prehistoric times; later centuries were marked by Greek, Norman, Byzantine and Baroque cultures. It is a land of farms, castles, works of art, myths and legends. Many heroic battles were fought; fierce resistance was shown by Gallipoli’s citizens against numerous invaders that included Romans, Vandals, Swabians, Venetians, French and lastly the English in 1809. In addition to its tumultuous history and natural beauty, the city’s claim to fame rests in its art treasures, most notably, the Basilica of Sant’Agata with its majestic 17th-century façade. Inside, the church contains a rich and important art collection with numerous works by its great native son, Giovanni Andrea Coppola. Gallipoli is a charming little town on the Salento Peninsula surrounded by water and accessible only by sea or via a 16th century bridge. Its historic heart sits on a small island that juts out into the Ionian Sea. Included Excursion Walking tour of Gallipoli Exclusive: This afternoon Chef Ben will host a cooking demonstration, followed by a Q&A session about seasonal ingredients native to the Adriatic. Watch closely so you can recreate his recipe once you return home! (1). Exclusive: Tonight's menu will feature items customized by Chef Ben.

2nd02 | NovNov | 202323 | Messina, Italy | ||||
Home to the Museo Regionale of Messina, known for featuring two of Caravaggio's paintings, the city is also famous for having been the capital of the ancient kingdom of Sicily. This underrated Sicilian city, with its wide boulevards and lower-rise, turn-of-the-century buildings, exudes a sense of space and calm not found in other main cities on the island. Messina is the home of the Stele della Madonna della Lettera, or gilded Madonna statue blessing its port and city. It is certainly a fantastic and rugged place to spend time and explore.

3rd03 | NovNov | 202323 | Naples, Italy | ||||
Naples, in the Campania region, is Italy's third largest city. Its claim to fame is the spectacular location along one of the world's most splendid bays, backed by the perfect cone of Mount Vesuvius. In addition to its beautiful setting, Naples' surprises with other outstanding attractions such as the Royal Palace, San Carlos Opera House, the impressive National Archaeological Museum and the Castel Nuovo, dating from the 13th-century. The city's central area is best explored on foot. Chaotic traffic conditions make driving around the city a very frustrating experience. Naples provides a convenient starting point for trips to such favored destinations as Pompeii, Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius. The Isle of Capri can be reached via a 45-minute hydrofoil service. The region of Campania was home to Greeks settlers some 300 years before Rome was founded. Pompeii, too, was a Greek town before being conquered by the Romans during the 5th century BC. It was under the Romans that Pompeii flourished and grew prosperous. When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, the population of 20,000 was wiped out, but dozens of buildings were preserved under layers of cinder more than 20 feet deep. The most important finds from Pompeii are displayed in Naples' National Archaeological Museum. A visit here will no doubt enhance a visit to ancient Pompeii. Naples is a city unlike any other. This urban sprawl on the outskirts of Mount Vesuvius, with its UNESCO World Heritage-listed historic centre dating back to 470 BC, is a magnificent lively and bustling place to spend your day. From its Duomo di San Gennaro to its Royal Palace, one will always have something beautiful to admire at every turn.

4th04 | NovNov | 202323 | Civitavecchia, Italy, disembark the Emerald Azzurra | ||||

Your most memorable experiences may include sitting at a caffè in the Campo de' Fiori or strolling in a beguiling piazza. Your time aboard your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht comes to an end in Civitavecchia.
