Alan and Joyce took a trip to from Athens to Venice up through the Adriatic Sea in July 2024. They followed that with and extension to Venice and Rome before returning home.

This was a part of an original trip planned in 2020 that was cancelled because of the pandemic. The other portion of that trip was included in the Mediterranean cruise taken in winter 2021-22.

The Italy portion of this trip was planned by our friend and travel agent, Sonya Yassi, with the Beyond the Seven Seas agency. She has helped us organize most of our travel in the last 7 years, and we couldn’t ask for anything better.

The Viking portion of the tour can be seen on this map.

Here’s the Viking’s summary:
