Overview

Azure waters abound along the stunning Adriatic coast, where Croatia presents its own distinct form of beauty. From Venice to Krk, Zadar and Šibenik and onward to Hvar, Split, Korcula and Dubrovnik, this unspoilt route through the Adriatic will be yours to uncover.

From secluded pebbly bays edged by majestic rocky inclines to ancient towns with narrow cobblestone streets and waterfront seafood eateries, this is a cruise of idyllic island days and a peek into Croatia’s fascinating past. Beginning in the famed ‘City of Canals’, Venice, and concluding in Dubrovnik.

The island of Vis, off the Croatian mainland, was closed to visitors until 1989. This has given Vis a rare sense of peace and authenticity.

(B/L/D)

The heart of island paradise Hvar is the Old Town — while it’s become a modern-day hotspot, it’s layered in history and architectural wonder. The town of Hvar is a photogenic jumble of whitewashed buildings with sun-kissed red roofs, and beyond the town are rolling hills peppered with lavender fields, olive groves, and grapevines. (B/L/D)

The sixth-largest island in the Adriatic, Korcula, is among the most beloved in Croatia.
