Venice is the heart and soul of romance. Cast your eye on the rounded domes of San Marco, take a deep breath at the Bridge of Sighs, gaze on the golden lions and the Renaissance glories of the Doge's Palace, listen for the ghosts of Verdi, Puccini and Caruso at La Fenice Opera House, gape at the classic Palladian proportions of the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, glide in a gondola down the Grand Canal. And know that love is always in the air in Venice.
Thanks to its rich biodiversity, favourable climate and long tradition of health tourism, Lošinj is also known as the island of vitality. A stroll through the old town of Mali Lošinj is like a real journey back in time: the oldest part of the town is made up of stone houses, old residences with lush gardens, small squares and staircases. The famous Čikat bay, surrounded by lush vegetation, is considered by some to be the most beautiful bay on the Adriatic.
Šibenik, Croatia, is a charming coastal town on the Adriatic Sea known for its rich history and stunning architecture.

Weather and sea conditions permitting, the morning brings a refreshing swim stop somewhere along the beautiful coastline near Dubrovnik. As the Captain selects the day’s anchorage, passengers can dive directly from the ship into the clear Adriatic waters, surrounded by rocky islets and pine-fringed coves. The atmosphere is one of pure relaxation - laughter echoing from the sea, the scent of salt and sun on the breeze.
It was George Bernard Shaw who said: 'Those who seek paradise on earth should come to Dubrovnik.' Indeed, Dubrovnik is a treasure by any measure made more precious by its miraculous restoration.

This stunning rock-walled chasm splitting the coastal mountains of Montenegro is the longest arm of the sea in southern Europe.

Founded by the Romans, fortified during the Byzantine era, then ruled by Venice for much of its history, Kotor has been naturally preserved by its isolation.
Otranto, a coastal gem nestled in the heel of Italy's boot, is a captivating town that effortlessly blends history, natural beauty, and Mediterranean charm. Visit the beautiful Romanesque Cathedral, adorned with a stunning mosaic floor that narrates biblical tales, and the impressive Aragonese castle, that dominates the town. The old town's labyrinthine streets lead to charming piazzas, vibrant local markets, and seafood restaurants serving delectable Apulian cuisine. With its crystal-clear waters and a pristine sandy shoreline, the coast near Otranto boasts some of the Adriatic's most inviting beaches. The town also offers a gateway to the Salento region's cultural and historical treasures, like the baroque city of Lecce.

Barreling under full sail through the narrow Strait of Messina past Scylla and Charybdis, where rock and whirlpool almost claimed Ulysses, you arrive in lovely Taormina. Perched on the shoulder of Mt. Etna, Taormina inspired Goethe to say that'It is the greatest work of art and nature.'

During the Middle Ages, Amalfi was a powerful republic of 70,000 people, rivalling nearby Ravello.

Amalfi is a magnificent coastal town offering an enchanting blend of natural beauty, rich history and Mediterranean charm.
The pastel houses of Ponza Town rise in neat terraced rows from the busy harbour where sleekly groomed yachts and ramshackle fishing boats moor side by side. Happily, there are few tourists here, so it's a delight to wander through the unspoiled town.
