The shimmering Italian Lakes, the sun-kissed Croatian Riviera, two spectacular rail journeys through the majestic Swiss Alps, and a cooking lesson and traditional feast in a rustic Italian farmhouse are among the highlights of a luxury new cruise tour in 2025 unveiled by Australian small ship specialist, Cruise Traveller, in partnership with premium line, Oceania Cruises.
Exclusive savings and a cruise excursion credit of US$600 per twin stateroom are available through Cruise Traveller for bookings made by August 31, 2024.
The new 23-night ‘Italy to Switzerland’ package features a destination-rich, boutique ship journey through the Adriatic aboard the 650-guest Oceania Cruises ship, Nautica, which boasts five-star service, fine cuisine and country club elegance.
The luxe holiday package begins on August 20, 2025, with two nights in a Rome hotel. Guests then board Nautica in Rome for a 10-night voyage across the Mediterranean and Adriatic to Venice. The journey takes in Sicily, Malta, Greece, the increasingly popular Riviera of Albania and the fortified city of Dubrovnik in Croatia.
After three nights in romantic Venice, allowing an abundance of time for exploration, guests will join a small-group coach tour taking in the glamorous Italian Lakes, a rustic Italian fare cooking class at a farmhouse with lunch and wine, and two of the world’s most scenic rail trips – the Bernina Express and the Glacier Express in the Swiss Alps. A paddlesteamer cruise on a Swiss lake and a steam train journey through postcard-worthy Swiss scenery are also on the exciting itinerary.
The land tour and holiday ends in Zurich.
