A new 34-night voyage from Nice to Venice aboard the luxurious Azamara Journey in April, 2016, will take modern-day explorers to some of the Mediterranean’s hidden, less-visited ports.
Able to access smaller ports, the 680-passenger Azamara Journey will take guests to 30 ports in 10 countries lining the Mediterranean, with overnight stays at five destinations scheduled to allow passengers more time to explore and immerse themselves in the local culture.
Available through Australian cruise specialists, Cruise Express, the ‘Hidden Treasures of the Mediterranean’ voyage will visit ports in France, Spain, Italy, Tunisia, Malta, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Croatia and Slovenia, with passengers unpacking just once as the elegant, 30,200-ton Azamara Journey takes them from one beautiful, history-laden port to the next.
Especially tailored for Australians, the Cruiseco-chartered voyage will depart from Nice, France, on April 20, 2016, with destinations including glamorous St Tropez on the French Riviera, the Spanish resort destination of Ibiza, the slow-paced islands of Corsica and Sardinia, the cliff-hugging villages of the famous Amalfi coast, the Sicilian town of Porto Empedocle and the medieval, walled-city of Dubrovnik.
Also on the itinerary are the car-free, Greek island of Hydra where everything is moved by donkey, the pristine islands off Croatia’s sunny, Adriatic coast, including Korcula, the Greek ruins of Delphi and Sparta and historic towns on Malta, Cyprus and Crete. An overnight stay aboard the ship in romantic Venice completes the journey.
The voyage aboard Azamara Journey – renowned for her country club style, intimacy, gourmet cuisine and non-stop pampering from 408 crew includes selected beer and wine with lunch and dinner, bottle water and specialty teas and coffees, transfers at the start and end of the cruise and also gratuities aboard the ship. Fares for the 34-night cruise start at $10,300 per person, twin-share. Flights from Australia are extra and can be booked through Cruise Express.
