Looks like it's the poster's itinerary across Italy. She started in the north (Verona, Venice) on Days 1-2 and worked her way down to Naples on Day 7. Let's check back on her Instagram account in a day to see where the ferry was headed! Tunisia? Albania? Croatia?

Some of these ferries don't run everyday, so we could narrow it down further.

Bari to Durrės (10pm departure) (Albania); Igoumenitsa, Corfu, Patra, Sami (no service on Thursdays), Zakynthos (no service on Thursdays) (Greece); Dubrovnik (10pm departure) (Croatia); Bar (Montenegro) (no service on Thursdays)
Salerno to Tunis (no service on Thursdays) (Tunisia)
Brindisi to Sarandė, Vlorė (Albania); Gaios, Igoumenitsa, Corfu, Patra, Sami, Zakynthos (Greece)

If they were to turn up in Greece, I would scream with joy.

Tunisia is not a good place for them go anymore. Is Albania safe? I don't know much about that one.

The poster has been hitting the major tourist destinations in Italy. If I were a teenage girl on a summer holiday, Corfu (or maybe Athens via Patras) looks pretty likely, eh?

I thought Dubrovnik would have been possible, but the 10pm departure doesn't jive with the photo in daylight.

Well, Albania should be safe since Albania-USA have great relations. But in other hand, it's known as country of criminal and drugs.
But I'm pretty sure that coastal cities are safe.

I'd say that they may visit Budva (Montenegro), Shkoder (Albania) - unvisited countries, or some Croatian or Greek island maybe?

I don't think that's a greeter. Looks like a tourist travelling around Italy.

Sighting looks like it's on a ferry (with a large yellow circle for a helipad on the deck). The poster was last near Naples... but a third leg in Italy?

oooh nice!! Moving Pitstop??

This is really exciting!! I've been longing for a moving pit-stop (if that's it) and it generally excites me when they travel to the destination of their next leg in another country NOT by plane :wohoo:

When I searched on Google with keyword "ferry from venice", the top results are ferries between Venice and Croatia. Maybe the next destination is Croatia? ???

PS: I added a screenshot taken from http://www.venezialines.com/ for possible destinations in Croatia from Venice. Just in case that they're really going to Croatia. :)

The poster was last in the south of Italy, having started her trip in Verona and Venice. Unlikely she would go all the way back to Venice to board a ferry. I'm thinking the next leg has already started, with the teams traveling by land from Venice to the south to board the ferry, to a destination not directly connected to Venice (e.g. Greece).

Her last picture before this one, was in Sorrento. That's way down south, near Naples. So from there if she wanted to come to Greece the logical  thing to do was to go to Bari and from there, there are everyday several boats to Corfu, Igoumenitsa or Patra. The trip is usually done overnight.
Another option would be a ferry to Sicily or through there to Malta but they did that in TAR 25 so that's unlikely.
One last thing comes to mind maybe a ferry to Sardinia or Corsica? but that's also not very likely.

P.S. But there is a boat from Venice to Greece, it just takes 24 hours travelling. So why would they not take that, if they were coming to Greece?

So is it a moving pit stop? Some people have mentioned it but I don't see where it shows it was.

I'm speculating that this season's new country would most likely be the next leg. ???

I found a picture of the Europa Palace Ferry, which may match ours;

If

http://matthewbutterfield.photoshelter.com/image/I0000KPn1VVc6BAU


This ferry used to go Venice to Corfu ,but it appears that it's current route is Trieste to Greece.

Treste is about 4.5 hrs + from Venice by train.

The current route on 6/23 was as below:

Her Colosseum photo shows a badge and strap for EF Tours; I haven't found a match yet, but the only thing that comes close to her itinerary (and includes a night ferry) is the Italy/Greece package.

Most likely not a moving Pit Stop.

Why?  Not understanding ???

We have them on a FERRY.

Which to me implies traveling on that ferry.

Which implies Moving Pitstop.

May well not be the Europa...but whatever ferry, they are likely going on...right?

Is that really the start of 8th leg? Then will have two legs to Asia, plus a penultimate leg in Australia?
