Join Lillian and Michael Dikovitsky on Windstar's Wind Surf August 1 - 9, 2026
8-night cruise Bella Italia - A Southern Italian Romance from Civitavecchia, Rome to Venice, Italy
Rediscover small-ship cruising's unique advantages and immerse yourself in southern Italy during this sailing to the Calabria and Puglia regions. Follow your Amalfi guide past deep ravines, hidden seabird nests and dramatic Mediterranean vistas on a trek to an Italian hamlet. Cook up your own Calabrian cuisine and dine on salamis, warm crusty breads and fresh cheeses during a cooking class in Vibo Valentia. Admire 2,500-year-old bearded bronze statues of Greek Riace warriors. Explore the narrow, labyrinth-like lanes of Taranto in Puglia, a spectacular coastal city rich in Greek ruins. Wander through Otranto, a historic coastal town known for its picturesque harbor and the stunning Otranto Cathedral with its famous mosaic floor. Glide through emerald-green seas and seek out soaring terns and darting schools of fish during a placid kayak tour in the waters of Rab, Croatia.

Although Windstar Cruises will make every reasonable effort to provide you with the voyage described here, situations may occur which require that a change be made. By way of example only, we may adjust itineraries and schedules, ship positioning, delay arrivals or departures or cancel a cruise due to casualty, weather, labor issues, the need to render assistance to another vessel, governmental or insurer directives, passenger or employee injury or illness, schedule delays or changes by third parties, repair and maintenance requirements, fuel or other shortages or damage to the Ship or other means of transport (i.e. roads, tracks,bridges, docks, equipment or machinery.) Consequently, we cannot guarantee the itinerary of the cruise, including the time of sailing or arrival at any port, or that all the ports will, in fact, be called upon. Anchor/Pier assignment is subject to change due to port authority request, changing weather conditions, and/or other unforeseen circumstances. The Watersports Platform is not guaranteed to be open due to port authority request, changing weather conditions, and/or other unforeseen circumstances. All terms and conditions stated on the Windstar website apply. All cruises are provided subject to the terms of the Windstar passage contract.
Life on Board
A day on board your Windstar yacht is a day of choices, all of them good. Perhaps you’ll begin with a relaxing massage in World Spa by Windstar. Or maybe an invigorating workout in the Fitness Center. Even better, why not both? After a sumptuous lunch in Veranda, make a splash from the Marina off the ship’s stern. Everything you can think of for fun in the water is there — swimming, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. And it’s all complimentary, of course. Sun yourself on deck, take a dip in the whirlpool, then catch up on email or order a cheese plate for your stateroom or suite. After dinner, dance to live music in the Lounge. This is your yacht, so of course you’re welcome on the Bridge, where the Captain and officers are delighted to share charts, routes, and vistas with you.
As you prepare for another amazing Windstar day, enjoy a nightcap anywhere you like — on deck, in the Lounge, or why not let us bring it to your suite or stateroom? Your day ends just as it began, blissfully.
