Silver Nova: 10-Night Cruise from Fusina (Venice) - November 13, 2026

With 15 hours hours in Trieste, Italy - from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. Visit the stunning Miramare Castle overlooking the Adriatic.

As a smaller vessel, the Silver Nova means a quicker disembarkation in Kotor, Montenegro - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. The old town is a maze of narrow lanes, small squares, and historic buildings that reward slow exploration.

Your ship arrives in Bari, 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. The historic old town is the heart of Bari.

You'll have 11 hours hours to explore Valletta, Malta, from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing.

As a smaller vessel, the Silver Nova means a quicker disembarkation in Taormina, Sicily, Italy - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster.

Explore the ancient Greek Theater, one of Sicily's most iconic landmarks, offering both a glimpse into history and panoramic views of the sea and Mount Etna.

Your ship arrives in Palermo, Sicily, 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. Palermo Cathedral is a magnificent blend of architectural styles, including Norman, Gothic, and Baroque elements.

You'll have 11 hours hours to explore Naples, Italy, from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing.

As a smaller vessel, the Silver Nova means a quicker disembarkation in Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster.

Rome is the main draw, and many visitors focus on a handful of must see areas.
