Discover the Adriatic with its Stunning Natural Attractions and Charming Mediterranean Towns
Small ship cruising in the Adriatic Sea offers an unparalleled experience of exploring the region’s stunning coastal landscapes and historic towns. The Adriatic, bordered by Italy and several Balkan countries, is home to over 1300 islands predominantly along the Croatian coast. The sea's deep blue waters and picturesque islands, coupled with mountains descending to the shoreline, create a scenic backdrop. Highlights include Kotor in Montenegro, known for its steep Lovćen mountain slopes and historic fortified town; Dubrovnik in Croatia, famed for its imposing stone walls and medieval old town; and Split, a UNESCO World Heritage site featuring Emperor Diocletian's Palace. These cruises allow for intimate exploration of diverse waterways, cultural landmarks, and scenic vistas, providing a rich blend of history and natural beauty.
