Lake Garda Retreat & Mediterranean Croatia Cruise

Cruise overview

Mornings on Lake Garda move slowly, and that is precisely the point. This twelve night journey eases you in gently, giving you time to walk the lakeside towns of northern Italy before a train ride carries you into Venice, where the streets narrow and the water rises to meet you at every turn. From there, Queen Elizabeth slips out of Trieste and south along the Dalmatian Coast, where Croatia’s old walled city of Dubrovnik sits dramatically above the Adriatic. The journey reaches further still, past the Strait of Messina and into Sicily before a final port call at Ibiza, an island with Phoenician roots that most visitors never stop to consider. This is a route that builds, each chapter distinct from the last.
