Overview

This cruise, will cultivate the art of peaceful travel as well as a family spirit, thanks to its customised activities on board and on shore for youngsters*, with the Kid Explorers Club.

Beneath the sun of the Adriatic, set off on a journey on which the sea blends with history and island landscapes. Between medieval cities and idyllic beaches, each port of call unveils a unique facet of the Dalmatian coast. The Croatian islands, with their pine aromas and golden beaches, offer moments of relaxation and discovery, between secret coves and villages steeped in history. Further north, Istria reveals its natural parks and ancient vestiges, veritable gateways between nature and culture. Then the Slovenian shores, whose Venetian elegance is reflected in the architecture and maritime atmosphere, are the promise of unique moments, between authenticity and contemplation.
