From the Alps to the Adriatic
A thrilling adventure from the mountains to the sea
19 September 2025 – 23 nights
From $20,990 per person twin | $29,190 solo
With postcard perfect vistas and storybook villages, rolling hills and the crisp scent of fresh mountain air there is nothing in this world quite like the Alps. Explore Europe’s iconic peaks and valleys on an invigorating Collette coach journey through France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and Italy before boarding Viking Star in Venice.
From here you will trace spectacular Adriatic shores and uncover the glories of the Venetian and Hellenic Empires on a cruise between romantic Venice and classic Athens. Discover Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, explore the palace at Split and stroll Dubrovnik’s medieval streets. Sail through scenic fjords to remarkably preserved Kotor, Montenegro’s gem. On Greek shores, call on scenic Corfu, with its inviting Old Town, and Katakolon, gateway to the Peloponnese and Olympia.
Our 23 night package also includes return flights from Sydney, an additional night in Venice and 2 nights in Athens post cruise for a complete experience!
