We stayed at Palazzo Venetiano. Absolutely would recommend it.  It was away from crowds but walking distance to all the highlights.   Easy walking distance to the boat.  

We are home now. We had some crazy travel issues along the way but overall it was a great trip. I’ll do more of a write up in the next few days - still getting into the swing of things back at home. Suffice it to say, we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise and are looking into another one already and are talking family members into going.

Thanks for that information, and for taking the time during your trip to respond.

Sorry, no -- we'll be on the previous trip (July 14, Athens to Venice). Good voyage to you!

Hey there, I’m enjoying your updates as you cruise. Our hotel in Venice is right near the port at San Basilio, we’ll keep an eye out for the ship on the 25th.

Hi FandFmom. We are sailing on the Star Flyer from Venice to Athens on October 6. Will you be sending out any updates on your cruise and port experiences? We traveled on Star Clipper in the Mediterranean in 1998 and loved it. It will be interesting to see how much things have changed.

I plan on doing some sort of write up when we get back.

Agreed, thanks for these updates. I am curious what people do if they don’t go ashore or only go ashore for a little while. I want to swim a little, is there opportunity to do that from the boat?

I am on a cruise from Venice to Croatia and plan on doing 3 tours on my own, one is private and I only paid one ahead which agreed to a full refund if the ship does not dock

beth555 - I see that you are cruising Venice to Croatia, what is your sailing date?

I know it's a long shot, but, anyone else doing this trip?

Might be nice to "know" someone else on board.

Vacation Nut,

We are doing this same trip next summer. Thanks so much for posting this and the details. Are you up for answering a few questions?

Did you fly in earlier/fly out later or did you come in day of embarkation/disembarkation? We are considering coming in a day early and leaving day after cruise to do a little sightseeing in Venice and Greece.

Were your excursions through the boat or on your own? We are considering a little of both.

Agree with other poster - would love to see a few pictures.

I'm considering this cruise July 2018.

Did you ever do a review?

How did you book your cruise? Through Star Clippers or with a travel agent? I like the idea of a local agent that I can go to with questions, etc...but I'm having trouble finding one. If I book direct, is SC able to help me figure out pre/post cruise add on days, flight times, etc.?

thanks

BTW - we are looking at July 2018 Greece - Venice
