Itea, Greece

Enjoy breakfast on deck as the ship navigates the historic Corinth Canal, slipping between the 300-foot limestone walls that tower above both sides of the vessel. Built in the late 19th century, the canal is too small for most modern-day ships, but the National Geographic Orion is perfectly sized for the transit to the Gulf of Corinth and Ionian Sea. Later, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Delphi, the center of the ancient Greek world. The ruins here are home to the Temple of Apollo-Greece's most important shrine-where the Oracle of Delphi delivered divine prophecies. Your onboard local guides will share the city's storied past as you explore the temple and other important sites. ...

Komiza, Vis, Croatia, Croatia

One of the outermost Croatian islands, Vis was ruled successively by the ancient Greeks, Romans, Venetians, Austrians, and Italians.
