Legends of the Northern Adriatic
8 nights
Wind Spirit
16 Apr '27Cruise overview
Explore the Adriatic’s northern coastal reaches, scenic small ports, and historic cities in Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia on an eight-night voyage. Sip espresso as you follow the literary footsteps of novelist James Joyce through Trieste cafes, museums, and inspirational waterfront vistas. Admire colorful Roman mosaics and Byzantine era architecture in Ravenna, then nibble on warm Piadina–a local flatbread made since the Middle Ages–paired with golden Albana wine. Escort happy hounds into the Motoven Forest on a truffle hunt outside Opatija. Browse Sibenik shops in search of smoked meats, tart cheeses, Croatian wood carvings, and handcrafted jewelry. Dip into the soothing salt spa therapy pools in the Secovlje Salina Nature Park outside Piran, or venture inland to the historic capital of Ljubjana, where you can visit manicured 18th century park lanes, ornate cathedrals, and a regal castle.
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.
