Overview

Set sail to discover the cultural and artistic jewels of the Aegean, Adriatic and Ionian Seas with Ponant. During this 8-day cruise, Le Bougainville will take you to Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and Italy. From Athens, you will follow a memorable crossing of the Corinth Canal, a famous sea channel dug out by men in the 19th century. You will then set sail for Galaxidi.

You will be charmed by this picturesque village where calm and tranquillity reign. Le Bougainville will then set sail for Parga, a charming little town nesting in the heart of an isolated bay. Its colourful houses, built...read more on the hillside, enjoy a superb view over the Ionian Sea and overlook beaches of great beauty. You will sail towards the beautiful and secret Paxos, covered with olive trees and bathed with legends in the aquamarine and dark blue sea.

Your ship will chart a course north towards Montenegro where the Bay of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will welcome you for a wonderful journey through four mountainous gulfs where sheer cliffs plunge into a deep blue sea. You will sail along the Croatian coast starting from Dubrovnik, the aptly named "Pearl of the Adriatic", a UNESCO World Heritage site, before finishing your exploration of the Croatian coastlines with visits of Hvar and Rovinj. As a grand finale, your voyage will draw to an end in Venice the Serenissima and its lagoon. Piazza San Marco, the Doge's Palace, the Grand Canal and the palaces along the canals will be your last stops on an unforgettable cruise.
