New voyages immerse passengers in the cultures of Croatia, Greece and Italy with calls at up to nine ports in a single country for select sailings and often including overnights.
'On a single voyage, visiting eight ports in Croatia, nine in Greece or an astounding five in Sicily alone is possible,' according to SeaDream president Bob Lepisto.
