This Adriatic voyage begins and ends in enchanting Venice, sailing through a tapestry of historic ports and island landscapes along the coasts of Montenegro, Italy, and Croatia. Discover the dramatic fjord-like beauty of Kotor, the whitewashed charm of Monopoli, and the medieval streets of Korčula, birthplace of Marco Polo. Explore UNESCO-listed Trogir, unwind amid the untouched nature of Cres, and enjoy the timeless romance of Venice, where domes, palaces, and gondolas create one of the world’s most unforgettable settings.


Highlights


• The spectacular Bay of Kotor and its beautifully preserved medieval town.

• Croatia’s Adriatic treasures, from Korčula’s historic old town to UNESCO-listed Trogir and the natural beauty of Cres.

• The romance and grandeur of Venice, with St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, and the Grand Canal.

 

Venice is the heart and soul of romance. Cast your eye on the rounded domes of San Marco, take a deep breath at the Bridge of Sighs, gaze on the golden lions and the Renaissance glories of the Doge's Palace, listen for the ghosts of Verdi, Puccini and Caruso at La Fenice Opera House, gape at the classic Palladian proportions of the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, glide in a gondola down the Grand Canal. And know that love is always in the air in Venice.

 

Each Star Clippers ship offers a traditional and elegant way to see the world. Feel the wind fill the sails and gently carry you from one gorgeous destination to the next. During your time on board, you can choose to relax on a sun lounger or cool off in one of the pools on the top deck, while more adventurous passengers may enjoy the opportunity to climb the rigging or even have a go at steering the ship. Alternatively, you can wander the interior areas of the ship and discover relaxing lounges, a revitalising spa (Royal Clipper only) and a peaceful library.

 

This stunning rock-walled chasm splitting the coastal mountains of Montenegro is the longest arm of the sea in southern Europe. Boka harbours one of the prettiest, unspoiled towns you'll ever see, the medieval city of Kotor. Founded by the Romans, fortified during the Byzantine era, then ruled by Venice for much of its history, Kotor has been naturally preserved by its isolation.

 

Set along the Adriatic coast, this historic Italian town captivates with its whitewashed buildings, narrow alleys, and charming seaside views. The ancient harbor is filled with colorful fishing boats, giving the town an authentic and lively atmosphere. Visitors can explore medieval churches, relax on pristine beaches, and savor delicious Apulian cuisine in this picturesque coastal destination.

 

Framed by dense green forests of allepo pine and twisted cypress, the red tile roofs of Korcula, whose most famous native son was Marco Polo, form an inviting picture. The pale wheat-coloured stone Cathedral of St. Mark houses a treasure trove of Dalmatia

 

Steeped in history and surrounded by the clear waters of the Adriatic, Trogir is one of Croatia’s best-preserved medieval towns - a UNESCO World Heritage Site of extraordinary beauty. Passengers can stroll through its narrow cobbled streets, where Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance buildings stand side by side, or relax in a café along the waterfront promenade. Highlights include the magnificent Cathedral of St. Lawrence and the elegant Kamerlengo Fortress overlooking the harbour. Compact, atmospheric, and filled with charm, Trogir is a living museum of Dalmatian history and a perfect place to simply wander, discover, and unwind.

 

Cres, situated in the Adriatic Sea, is Croatia's largest island. With its unspoilt landscapes, picturesque villages and secluded coves, Cres offers striking contrasts for a tranquil getaway in unspoilt natural surroundings.

 

Venice is the heart and soul of romance. Cast your eye on the rounded domes of San Marco, take a deep breath at the Bridge of Sighs, gaze on the golden lions and the Renaissance glories of the Doge's Palace, listen for the ghosts of Verdi, Puccini and Caruso at La Fenice Opera House, gape at the classic Palladian proportions of the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, glide in a gondola down the Grand Canal. And know that love is always in the air in Venice.
