From ancient Athens to the canals of Venice aboard Silver Spirit




Sail through the beautiful Adriatic Sea on a 7 day cruise aboard Silversea's luxurious Silver Spirit, exploring the wonders of Greece, Montenegro and the Dalmatian Coast.

Departing from Piraeus (Athens) on 26 June 2015, Silver Spirit travels north along Greece's shimmering coastline before docking in tiny Katakolon.  Here, guests can explore the birthplace of the Olympic Games or uncover stunning archaeological treasures including the Temple of Zeus and Olympic Village.

Continuing her journey, Silver Spirit ports in Corfu, the greenest and one of the most beautiful islands of Greece.  With emerald mountains, crystal waters, abundant olive trees and classic European architecture, Corfu is a mosaic of sights that reflect the island's profound history.  The voyage continues to dock overnight in Kotor, Montenegro, a coastal town filled with medieval jewels from the spectacular hilltop fortress of UNESCO World Heritage listed Stari Grad (Old Town) to the Cathedral of St Triphun.

Arriving in Croatia, guests will visit the magnificent fortified city of Dubrovnik, before sailing to the stunning island of Hvar.  Here, guests can wander through the island's splendid sights and sounds seeing the 16th-century Renaissance Cathedral and the Cathedral of St. Stephen, or be serenaded a cappella at the 15th-century Franciscan Monastery.

Sailing to Italy, Silver Spirit anchors in the majestic city of Venice for an overnight stay.  Guests can explore the islands of Murano and Burano, and experience the centuries-old traditions of glass-blowing and lace production, before disembarking on 3 July 2015.

To enhance Silversea's 2015 Mediterranean all-inclusive pricing, guests are able to take advantage of included Silver Shore Select excursions, which are offered in every port of call. In addition, guests aboard this Silversea voyage have access to two hours of Wi-Fi per day, and unlimited Wi-Fi in premium suites (Medallion and higher categories).
