As the world opens up after over a year inside, canny travellers are making up for their time cloistered at home by embracing the great wide open. Taking to the waters of Mediterranean Europe, they’re rediscovering not only some of the world’s most stunning seascapes, but the rich culture and deep history that abounds at each and every port. There’s no better way to soak up the sun, sights and stories of the Mediterranean than aboard Viking Sky, the intimate luxury cruise ship from Viking that matches immersive onshore adventure with impeccable onboard amenities.

And you have the once-in-a-lifetime chance to be the next guest for no cost, embarking on a voyage spanning Italy, The Adriatic and Greece over 15 unforgettable days at as many ports.

The voyage begins on Viking Sky in Italy’s capital, Rome, where you’ll be deep in the history and drama of the fallen empire when visiting the Colosseum. Heading south to the mighty Mount Vesuvius, where the ruins of Pompeii lie and stunning views of the colourful Amalfi Coast are only an hour away. Viking Sky will allow you to explore around the south coast of Italy, from the olive-laden plantations in Sicily, where farmers harvest from thousand-year-old trees to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of whitewashed buildings of Bari.

The anchor drops for an extended stay in Venice, allowing time for travellers to properly explore this famed destination’s every bridge and promenade. While ashore, some opt to trade Viking’s lavish liner for a vessel that’s a touch more intimate; after all, no trip to the Floating City could be complete without a romantic gondola ride. Others are just as keen to experience the world-renowned vineyards and crafty culture of glassmakers this part of Italy offers.

Rounding the sunny shores near Italy, travellers find themselves walking off any Italian sins in Croatia, where history waits to be discovered at just about every angle, from sprawling national parks to the ancient palaces of Dalmatia. Dubrovnik itself is best experienced from above however, and the vista from the city’s beloved cable car has to be seen to be believed. The next day, a pitstop in Montenegro’s stunning countryside offers a rich bounty of activities – not to mention food and drink.

Viking Sky then sets a course for some of the best culture Greece has to offer: one night pulling into port at a sleepy, secluded seaside harbour that gives way to the verdant valleys of the Peloponnese, the next embracing Greece’s spiritual side at a 17th century monastery on an offshore islet. The journey ends in Athens, where travellers get a final taste of the Grecian way of life in the bustling Plaka district, experiencing the ancient city’s storied locales in the shadow of the Acropolis.
