Discover 3000 years of Mediterranean History during our Adriatic cruises
along the Dalmatian Coast from the romance of Venice in the north to the
less-known gems of Montenegro’s Gulf of Kotor and Albania’s ancient
ruins of Apollonia and Butrint. The Illyrians, Greeks, Romans,
Venetians, Habsburgs have all had their turn molding this remarkable
region, with many reminders of their successive dominations.
Along the Adriatic’s eastern coast, Croatia—with 1,200 miles of rocky,
indented shore and more than 1,000 islands—boasts some of the most
dramatic and scenic stretches of coastline that Europe has to offer. After
seeing the stunning archipelago that lies off Croatia, George Bernard Shaw
famously wrote, “On the last day of Creation, God desired to crown His
work, and thus created the Kornati Islands out of tears, stars and
breath.”
The best way to explore the Adriatic’s coastal towns and
islands—particularly Croatia and its dazzling Dalmatian Archipelago—is
aboard the M.S. Andrea and M.S. Monet. You’ll
visit the undiscovered treasures, places not typically available on large
cruise ships and packaged motor coach tours. While our carefully designed
itineraries visit the major cities like Venice, Split, Dubrovnik,
we make an effort to stop also lesser known more intimate ports for
their natural beauty, historic or cultural significance, and quiet charm.
