Fly to Valletta to join Oceana. Settle in as you sail to Greece. In Athens the Acropolis gracefully dominates every sightline. Heraklion offers understated sophistication, while the ancient wonders of Olympia, site of the Olympic Games, will enthral, before a visit to the stunning island of Rhodes.
Back to Valletta to fully experience what UNESCO describe as 'one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world'. Zadar is a cacophony of Roman ruins alongside the cosmopolitan and modern. Next call, Venice, where a maze of alleyways, canal-side palaces and gondolas await.
Šibenik is a gleaming example of medieval history, with a maze of steep backstreets and cobbled squares. As ever, the timeless sea approach to ancient Dubrovnik is one of the great cruising experiences.
Finally, time to enjoy one more relaxing sea day while sailing to Valletta for your flight home.
