Shores of the Adriatic

PONANT unveils an idyllic 9-day itinerary in the heart of the Adriatic, along the Italian, Croatian and Slovenian coastlines, featuring age-old vestiges slumbering beneath a golden sun, bustling towns fixed on the crystal-clear horizon and preserved nature, the cradle of a delicious way of life. Throughout your journey, you will benefit from an excursion included per person per port of call, to choose from a selection offered by PONANT. During this cruise, discover Urbino, birthplace of Raphael and a Renaissance pearl that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, from Ancona; admire Split, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its Diocletian's Palace. The diversity of experiences on offer promises you intense and varied moments (to discover the full range of excursions, go to the itinerary tab). From Venice the Serenissima, you will sail along Italian shores to Ancona, a charming city acting as the gateway to the region of Le Marche. You will sail towards the east, along the water. From the idyllic island of Hvar and its sparkling coves to the millennial cities of Dubrovnik and Split, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, to, discover the indescribable gentle way of life of the Croatian coastlines. To the north, in contrast to the wild, confetti-like Kornati Islands, discover Zadar. On the monumental Land Gate, the winged lion that symbolises the City of the Doges still watches over passers-by as they make their way through the narrow streets of this ancient Roman walled city, now a vibrant mix of history and creativity. Le Boréal will then call at Rovinj, in Istria. A stroll along the cobbled streets of the Old Town reveals an architecture with Venetian influences, enhanced by the radiant beauty of the Adriatic Sea. Discover Piran, the last port of call on your journey, a flamboyant little Slovenian seaside resort that was under Venetian influence for more than five centuries, before you return to the City of the Doges.
