Norwegian Gem: 7-Night Cruise from Ravenna - October 11, 2026

You'll have 11 hours hours to explore Split, Croatia, 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. Marjan Hill rises just west of the old town and offers shaded walking paths, viewpoints, and quiet beaches.

The Norwegian Gem will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Dubrovnik, Croatia. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. A full loop around the historic walls offers unforgettable views over red rooftops and the Adriatic Sea.

Your ship arrives in Kotor, Montenegro at 7:00 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. The old town is a maze of narrow lanes, small squares, and historic buildings that reward slow exploration.

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Corfu, Greece, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 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. Corfu Old Town is a pleasure to explore on foot.

The Norwegian Gem will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Messina, Sicily, Italy. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. The Cathedral of Messina, rebuilt after earthquakes, features a stunning interior, historic mosaics, and the famous astronomical clock.

Your ship arrives in Salerno, Italy at 7:00 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. Explore the city's historic cathedral, renowned for its Romanesque architecture and beautiful artwork.

Your cruise ends in Civitavecchia (Rome), 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. Rome is the main draw, and many visitors focus on a handful of must see areas.
