VENETIAN SOCIETY REUNION VOYAGE 2025: FUSINA (VENICE) TO ATHENS (PIRAEUS)

Departing from the new cruise terminal in Fusina (Venice), this special sailing will call in many of the Mediterranean’s most iconic destinations. Guests traveling on board Silver Spirit will first discover Trieste near the Slovenian border, where they will have the opportunity to explore Piazza Unità d'Italia, one of Italy’s most spectacular town squares, and marvel at some of the country’s most striking architecture.

In Croatia’s Medieval capital, Dubrovnik, guests will delve into the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; admire fine Renaissance paintings at the Dominican Monastery; and take in the historic beauty of the Rector's Palace, Maritime Museum, Church of Saint Blaise, and Onofrio's Fountain. Venturing out of town, they can sample local wine at a family winery in the Konavle Valley or discover the many highlights of beautiful Cavtat.

A scenic drive and an old town walking tour will unlock the charm of Italy’s Bari, while excursions to the cathedral-like marine caves of Polignano a Mare and the UNESCO-listed Sassi di Matera showcase the region’s impressive natural beauty and fascinating cultural history.

An immersion into the Greek islands will combine both iconic and off-the-beaten-path highlights in Corfu, Katakolon (Olympia), Monemvasia (Laconia), Souda Bay (Crete), Santorini with its whitewashed houses carved into rugged clifftops, and the Medieval City of Rhodes, before guests arrive in Athens (Piraeus) on October 29, 2025.
