This program empowers nurses to navigate today's complex healthcare environment with confidence and resilience. As workplace challenges - including incivility, legal exposures, and burnout - continue to rise, nurses must be equipped with the skills to advocate for themselves and their patients. Through this enriching cruise seminar, participants will gain practical insights into their legal rights, communication strategies, conflict de-escalation, and self-care - all grounded in real-world nursing contexts. The program is designed to help nurses not only protect themselves professionally, but to thrive as leaders who model a culture of respect, safety, and collaboration. To receive CHs/CEUs, all participants are required to attend all face-to-face sessions, complete all in-session program assignments, complete an evaluation form, and successfully complete all independent activities as instructed.

Following a relaxing sea day, you reach Piraeus, your gateway to the ancient wonders of Athens. Next, navigate the visual splendor of Santorini; an early start is essential to efficiently manage the caldera's logistics and maximize your time exploring the whitewashed villages.

PORTS OF CALL
Venice (Ravenna), Italy
When your itinerary says “Venice (Ravenna),” it’s essential to understand the geography to plan your time effectively. Your cruise embarks and disembarks not in Venice itself, but from the port of Ravenna, a historically significant city located about 90 miles (145 km) to the south. This journey typically takes 2.5 to 3.5 hours by train or car. Rather than viewing this as a logistical hurdle, consider it an opportunity to explore two distinct and magnificent facets of Italian culture. A pre- or post-cruise stay is not just recommended; it is the key to a relaxed and deeply enriching experience of this celebrated region.
### The Unexpected Jewel: Ravenna
Before or after your journey to the Venetian Lagoon, immerse yourself in Ravenna, a city that was once the capital of the Western Roman Empire. Its quiet, walkable streets hold a treasure of global importance: a collection of early Christian and Byzantine mosaics that are simply without parallel. Eight of Ravenna’s monuments are UNESCO World Heritage sites, and their artistic and spiritual power is breathtaking. The shimmering gold and vibrant colors of the mosaics inside the Basilica di San Vitale and the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia are not just decorations; they are intricate narratives of faith and power that have survived for over 1,500 years. Standing beneath the star-dusted, deep blue ceiling of the mausoleum is a moment of profound tranquility and awe. Other essential sites include the Basilica di Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, with its long, solemn processions of saints and martyrs, and the Arian Baptistery.
Beyond the mosaics, Ravenna is a delightful city to explore on foot. The central Piazza del Popolo is a perfect spot for an aperitivo, and the quiet tomb of Dante Alighieri, the father of the Italian language, offers a moment of literary pilgrimage. As the heart of the Emilia-Romagna region—often called Italy’s culinary capital—Ravenna offers a distinct and outstanding gastronomic experience. This is the home of piadina, a warm, simple flatbread filled with local cheeses and cured meats, best enjoyed from a street-side stand. You’ll also find exquisite handmade pastas like cappelletti and tagliatelle served with rich ragù, all paired with regional wines like Sangiovese or Albana.
### Connecting to Venice: A Strategic Approach
Given the distance, attempting to visit Venice on the day your cruise begins or ends is highly inadvisable. The journey, combined with luggage and check-in procedures, creates a stressful, rushed experience that does justice to neither city. The most effective way to travel between them is by train. From the cruise terminal at Porto Corsini, a 20-minute taxi ride will take you to Ravenna’s train station. From there, frequent trains connect to Venice’s Santa Lucia station, often with a simple change in Bologna or Ferrara. Arriving in Venice by train is a magical experience in itself, as you step directly from the station onto the banks of the Grand Canal.
### A Recommended Pre-Cruise Itinerary (3 Days)
To fully appreciate the region, plan for at least two or three nights before your cruise. This unhurried pace allows you to acclimate and explore with intention.
Day 1: Arrival in Emilia-Romagna. Fly into Bologna’s Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), the region’s largest international gateway. Take the convenient airport shuttle or a train directly to Ravenna (approx. 1-1.5 hours). Check into your hotel, then take a leisurely evening passeggiata (stroll) through the historic center. Settle in for a welcome dinner at a traditional osteria, savoring the authentic flavors of the region.
Day 2: The Glory of Ravenna. Dedicate the day to Ravenna’s UNESCO sites. A single combination ticket provides access to most of the major monuments. Start at San Vitale and the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, as they are near each other. After a break for a classic piadina lunch, continue to Sant'Apollinare Nuovo and the Neonian Baptistery. The sheer artistic brilliance is best absorbed at a comfortable pace, allowing time to sit and contemplate the history within the walls.
Day 3: Embarkation Day. Enjoy a final, relaxed morning in Ravenna. Perhaps you’ll visit Dante’s Tomb or browse the local market. After a leisurely lunch, take a pre-arranged taxi or shuttle to the Porto Corsini cruise terminal. You will arrive for embarkation feeling refreshed and culturally enriched, having already begun your vacation in one of Italy’s most historically significant cities, ready for the next leg of your journey.
For a post-cruise stay, simply reverse the logic, taking the train from Venice to Ravenna for a couple of days of exploration before flying home from Bologna. This approach transforms a potential travel challenge into a highlight, offering a two-part discovery of Byzantine splendor and Venetian grandeur.
Bay of Kotor (Cruising)
At Sea - Cruising
Athens (Piraeus), Greece
Santorini, Greece
Santorini delivers the visual drama promised by travel brochures, with whitewashed villages spilling down the sides of a massive volcanic caldera. It is spectacular, but it is also one of the most logistically challenging ports in the Mediterranean. Understanding the arrival process is critical to enjoying your day. Ships anchor in the caldera, tendering passengers to a small dock at the base of the cliffs. From there, you face a bottleneck: a low-capacity cable car, a grueling 600-step climb, or donkeys (which we generally discourage due to animal welfare and sanitary concerns).
To maximize your time and minimize frustration, we strongly recommend arranging a boat transfer to Oia or a pre-booked excursion that includes transportation from the tender pier. This strategy bypasses the initial cable car queue, which can consume hours of your morning. Once you have ascended, the island offers distinct experiences. Oia, on the northern tip, is the famous "postcard" village with blue-domed churches and marble streets. It is undeniably beautiful but frequently overwhelmed by crowds; visit early or late if possible. Fira, the capital, offers similar views with more bustle, museums, and shopping, serving as the central hub for the return descent.
For a reprieve from the congestion, the archaeological site of Akrotiri offers a world-class window into the Bronze Age, preserved under volcanic ash. Alternatively, the island’s viticulture is unique; vines are basket-woven low to the ground to survive the wind. Visiting a local estate to taste crisp, volcanic Assyrtiko wine provides a sophisticated, relaxing counterpoint to the busy towns. Santorini is a destination that rewards preparation; with the logistics managed, the views are truly unparalleled.
Split, Croatia
Split offers a remarkable fusion of ancient history and vibrant modern life, centered almost entirely within the walls of a Roman emperor's palace. The cruise port's prime location allows for an immediate and immersive experience; a short walk brings you to the Bronze Gate, the waterfront entrance to Diocletian's Palace. This is no sterile ruin, but the living, breathing heart of the city, where millennia-old limestone is worn smooth by the footfalls of residents and visitors alike.
The palace's central square, the Peristyle, serves as a stunning open-air stage, flanked by the imposing Cathedral of Saint Domnius—originally Diocletian's mausoleum. A climb up its bell tower is highly recommended for breathtaking views over the terracotta roofs and the brilliant blue of the Adriatic. Below ground, explore the vast, vaulted substructures that once supported the emperor's private apartments, now often hosting markets and exhibitions.
Beyond the palace walls, the Riva promenade is the city's social artery, a wide boulevard lined with cafes perfect for people-watching over a coffee or a glass of local wine. For a taste of authentic commerce, the bustling Green Market (Pazar) offers fresh produce and regional crafts just outside the Silver Gate. Split’s core is compact and best explored by simply wandering its labyrinthine alleys, discovering hidden courtyards and soaking in an atmosphere that is both monumental and intimately human. It is an ideal port for independent exploration on foot.
