Norwegian Gem: 7-Night Cruise from Civitavecchia (Rome) - September 20, 2026

You'll have 11 hours hours to explore Salerno, Italy, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Wear light, breathable clothing in summer and layered clothing in cooler months.

The Norwegian Gem will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Catania, Sicily, Italy. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Start around Piazza del Duomo and wander through streets lined with lava stone palaces, churches, and lively shops.

Your ship arrives in Corfu, Greece at 10:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Corfu Old Town is a pleasure to explore on foot.

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Kotor, Montenegro, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. You can explore ancient streets, enjoy café life, and still be surrounded by nature at every turn.

The Norwegian Gem will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Zadar, Croatia. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation.

Your ship arrives in Venice, Italy at 8:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Venice is compact but complex, so planning your route and travel method ensures a rewarding experience.

Your cruise ends in Ravenna, Italy, where the Norwegian Gem is scheduled to dock at 6:00 AM. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Ravenna's mosaics are its crown jewel.
