Adriatic Cruises
5 current voyages to The Adriatic
The Adriatic is a narrow sea with a crowded coastline: Venetian towns, walled cities, and more than a thousand islands on the Croatian side alone. It suits small ships better than almost anywhere, because the best harbours are the small ones.
Typical itineraries link Venice or Trieste with Istria, Split, Hvar, Dubrovnik and Kotor, often with a crossing to Italy's Adriatic shore or down to the Amalfi coast. Departures run from spring through autumn.
Each voyage below is operated by Noble Caledonia, with dates and fares drawn from their current programme.
