Summary
This is a lovely maritime journey which explores the historic ports and coastal gems of the northern Adriatic. We begin in Venice, a maritime republic for almost 1,000 years which has given us a staggering collection of art, architecture and history in a truly evocative setting. We spend three days exploring this wonderful city visiting its world-renowned monuments as well as others lesser known. From here, our cruise heads east to Slovenia's charming port of Koper, with its Venetian-influenced Old Town and nearby salt pans and then curves south along Croatia's Istrian coast to Opatija, an elegant Habsburg-era resort town known for its Belle Époque villas and seaside promenade. Further down the Istrian peninsula lies Pula, home to one of the world's best-preserved Roman amphitheatres. We return to Venice via Ravenna, a city renowned for its spectacular Byzantine mosaics and UNESCO World Heritage sites. Each port combines unique historical significance with distinctive local culture.
