Small ship cruise leader, Grand Circle Cruise Line, announced four new, exciting itineraries for 2017.
The new itineraries will operate along the Mediterranean and the Adriatic, cruising along the picturesque coastlines of Italy, Malta, Slovenia and Croatia.
The new itineraries include a 16-day cruise from Rome to Valletta with stops in Sicily and Malta; a 17-day cruise, the Undiscovered Adriatic, which explores eastern Italy, Venice, Puglia and Malta; a 12-day cruise, Voyage to Istria, which explores Italy, Slovenia and Croatia; and the final itinerary, a 27-day cruise called Italian Coastal Odyssey, which explores the hidden wonders of Italy, Sicily and Malta, including the Republic of San Marino, the Tremiti Islands and Mount Etna.
“We are excited to offer itineraries that explore a popular region of the world through a popular mode of travel — small ship,” said Alan Lewis, chairman, Grand Circle Cruise Line. “Our 50-passenger ships can access small ports that larger ships cannot, and our travelers will be able to explore the cities, towns, and villages beyond these ports to engage firsthand with local people, their cultures, and ways of life.”
All itineraries include international airfare from New York.
