Sail with Lidia

Sail with Lidia through the heart of Italy on Silversea
Benefiting the James Beard Foundation

Explore Italy’s culinary marvels with the woman who knows them best—JBF Award-winning celebrity chef and television personality Lidia Matticchio Bastianich.

Ports of call on this luxurious seven-day Mediterranean cruise from Venice to Rome include a maiden call in Trogir, Croatia, the medieval town of Kotor, Montenegro, and Catania, Sicily, at the base of Mt Etna. Passengers will also spend a glorious day in Sorrento, Italy, the gateway to the ruins of Pompeii.

On Silversea, you'll sail in style because all-inclusive fares always include a spacious ocean-view suite (most with private teak verandas), complimentary fine wines and spirits served throughout the ship, gourmet cuisine, open-seating dining, all gratuities, and more.
