Natural Wonders and Cultural Jewels of Dalmatia
Cruise overview
Between olive groves, national parks and UNESCO-listed towns, discover the many faces of the Adriatic and the civilisations that have flourished along its azure shores. Traces of the reign of the Most Serene Republic of Venice are scattered here and there, including the symbol of the City of the Doges, the winged lion, which still watches over Balbi’s Arch in Rovinj and the gates of Zadar and Korcula. From ancient times, Split has preserved Diocletian’s Palace and its Romanesque cathedral, while the island of Hvar is home to Stari Grad, founded by the Greeks. Further south, the Bay of Kotor provides a spectacular sight: a medieval town nestled in a sea inlet surrounded by mountains.
Itinerary
Venice
Venice is a city unlike any other. No matter how often you’ve seen it in photos and films, the real thing is more dreamlike than you could imagine. With canals where streets should be, water shimmers everywhere. The fabulous palaces and churches reflect centuries of history in what was a wealthy trading center between Europe and the Orient. Getting lost in the narrow alleyways is a quintessential part of exploring Venice, but at some point you’ll almost surely end up in Piazza San Marco, where tourists and locals congregate for a coffee or an aperitif.
