Embark on a timeless, 12-night journey through the Mediterranean aboard Oceania Cruises’ Allura. Embark in Rome, home to the iconic Colosseum, and set sail for Amalfi to marvel at the 12th century Capuchin monastery or enjoy an Amalfi-style farm-to-table experience at a local family’s organic farm. Then, escape to Naples to see Pompeii, a preserved ancient Roman city once buried under the ashes of nearby Mt. Vesuvius. Unwind on the pristine beaches of Cagliari, where golden sands meet crystal-clear waters. Indulge in Sicilian cuisine in Trapani, and in Valletta see the celebrated St. John’s Co-Cathedral.

Explore the well-preserved remnants of Kusadasi, including the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre. Enjoy the charming villages of Skiathos, and finally before disembarking in Istanbul, explore the city’s spice markets or visit the Blue Mosque.
