DESTINATIONS VISITED:Croatia, Greece, Italy, Montenegro
PLACES VISITED:
SUGGESTED DURATION:15 Days
A 14-night sample trip for couples: two nights in Venice, then a 12-night Celebrity cruise from Ravenna through Croatia, Montenegro and the Greek Islands. You ride a gondola in Venice, walk the walls of Dubrovnik, see the Bay of Kotor, and watch the sunset over Santorini. A balcony cabin makes sunset drinks on your own deck part of every evening, and I let the cruise line know you are celebrating. Exact stops change by sailing, so I will confirm the details for your dates.
