Croatian Coast and Montenegro cruise

This superb cruise showcases the stunning islands and architectural cities of Croatia and Montenegro on board La Belle de L'Adriatique.

Enjoy a full day exploring Dubrovnik, nicknamed 'The Pearl of the Adriatic'. Perhaps take the walk around the impressive walls overlooking the sea, before setting sail to the forested island of Mljet and picturesque Korcula, with its vast vineyards and olive groves. Continue to medieval Sibenik, gateway to the breathaking Krka National Park.

Visit UNESCO-listed Trogir with its intriguing alleyways, and then continue to Split, home to the magnificent Diocletian's Palace.

Visits to the sleepy island of Vis and lavender-scented Hvar are followed by a cruise into the bay of Kotor in Montenegro. This long fjord overlooked by rolling hills leads to the fortified town of Kotor with its well-preserved medieval buildings.
