Awe-Inspiring Grandeur: Venice, Croatia & Montenegro
For a culture jolt like no other, embark on a voyage that combines Italian flair with Croatian hospitality plus a dash of Montenegro’s spell-binding scenery.
Together, Venice, Croatia and Montenegro complete the perfect sailing triptych. Built on more than 100 islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea, Venice’s mosaic-lined canals showcase Renaissance and Gothic architecture at their finest. As well as feasting on oysters and Champagne at Enoiteca Mascareta, we recommend taking in the city’s historic opera house, the magnificent art collections at Grassi Palazzo and the Bridge of Sighs before setting sail for Croatia.
Keen diver? Set your compass to the Blue Grotto on Biševo island before heading to the blissful white-pebbled shores of Stiniva Cove on the island of Vis. Miles of vines and olive trees line Croatia’s rugged hillsides, pulling one’s gaze towards the city of Split. Make sure to sample fresh sea bass in truffle sauce under the vaulted ceilings of Enoteka Terra before moving onto the Bay of Kotor –Montenegro’s jewel (and a UNESCO world heritage site).

Expert Insight
“Venice is a joy any time of year. Enjoy one of its many Michelin-star restaurants like Ai Mercanti in San Marco Piazza. Croatia is surprisingly cosmopolitan and weather in May is pleasant, even warm enough to swim! Why not travel early and benefit from crystal blue seas, avoid the masses but still enjoy the lively atmosphere? Montenegro’s new port is lined with designer boutiques. Top tip: cruising from Venice to Montenegro is only possible if you have at least two weeks.”
