Why cruise the Adriatic?
Croatia for landscape and beautiful views
Our Mediterranean Adriatic cruises take you on a journey into the heart of the Mediterranean for the chance to experience ancient landscapes and breathtaking views.

Find out moreItaly for beautiful crystal-clear water
Explore a string of dreamy destinations scattered along the coast of Italy.
Elsewhere, with its hilltop villages and castles, the rugged island of Elba may not be a destination you’d usually visit on holiday, but stopping by on a cruise provides a delightful glimpse into life on this Italian isle.
Find out moreMontenegro for medieval history
Step back in time in storied old towns and famous historic sights on a Mediterranean Adriatic cruise.
In picturesque Kotor an enigmatic combination of past and present awaits. The medieval lanes of the town are strewn with a seemingly endless list of sights from Venetian palaces and churches to museums and cafe-lined squares.
Montenegro for nature
Days ashore on Adriatic Sea cruises can be spent among wild natural scenery, cooling off in small crystalline coves and lapping up lush landscapes.
Montenegro may be small, but the Balkan nation with an Adriatic coastline has a plethora of fascinating sights to visit. With large, craggy mountains, beautiful beaches and welcoming towns, the nation is just one example of the region’s abundance of nature.

Lecce – The Baroque Jewel
Lecce is treasure trove of Baroque architecture in southern Italy. Its influence was so great in the region that the style even had its own name: Lecce Baroque.
Join a walking tour of Lecce during your cruise to the Adriatic to discover its rich architectural heritage. Marking the entrance to the city centre, you’ll begin at the Porta Napoli and make your way to take in the impressive architecture around the Piazza del Duomo.
Dubrovnik Cable Car and Cavtat
Take a trip on the Dubrovnik cable car, which ascends to approximately 1,500 feet and offers splendid views over Dubrovnik’s Old Town. At the upper station there is a cafe, souvenir shop, and terrace with telescopes. Back at the lower station, board a coach to the beautiful town of Cavtat where you explore on foot.

Known as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, Dubrovnik is ideally explored on foot. Learn about the history of this medieval city from your guide, walk along the Stradun, a glass-like promenade that runs from the Pile to Ploce gates, and follow the line of the channel that once divided the town into two parts.
