These week-long cruises conveniently embark and disembark in Venice. Following the ship’s evening departure along the Canale della Giudecca past Piazza San Marco, we set a course for Croatia and its stunning coastal beauty. Dalmatia alone has over 1,000 islands basking in the sun that, along with the coastal cities of Croatia, offer a wealth of art, architecture, culture and history.
Pula, at the tip of the Istrian Peninsula, is famed for its Roman antiquities, particularly the massive 22,000-seat Amphitheater, a short walk from the Monet’s dock. Mid-afternoon, the ship heads south on its overnight journey to Split. Split has one of the best preserved Roman edifices in existence: the massive Diocletian’s Palace, a fascinating complex where modern shops and offices are integrated harmoniously within the ancient and medieval ruins.
The island of Hvar, with its popular harborfront promenade and picture-perfect views from the Fortress Spanjol, boasts acres of lavender fields outside of town.
The Old Town of Dubrovnik is a breathtaking sight, entirely surrounded by massive gray walls of stone. Inside, find a treasure trove of medieval art and architecture that has earned it a designation as a UN World Heritage Site. Cap off your visit with a stroll along the Stradun, the wide pedestrian promenade where you will discover many fine shops, cafes and galleries.
The sparsely inhabited island of Mljet offers lovely pine forests and jewel-like lakes, with the opportunity for a refreshing swim in crystal-clear waters. Korcula, a very walkable peninsula town which claims to be the birthplace of Marco Polo, contains many reminders of the rule of the Venetians. In Zadar, step ashore for a visit to the exceptional Museum of Church Art, the Archaeological Museum or the National Museum. Your week aboard concludes with a full day in Venice, offering as much to see and do for the frequent visitor as for a first-timer.
