Adriatic Cruises

Explore

Separating the Balkans from the slender leg of the Italian Peninsula, the Adriatic is home to some of the most beautiful stretches of coastline on the planet - best enjoyed from the water.

The Adriatic's clear turquoise waters, idyllic beaches, charming villages, and historic towns have been a cultural crossroads for millennia. With countless civilizations leaving their imprint, the result is a curious mix of cultures, cuisines and architectural styles. Our carefully crafted itineraries showcase the best of each country - including Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina. You'll explore well-known cities - like Venice and Dubrovnik, and landmarks - like Diocletian's Palace, and we'll introduce you to a few hidden spots known only to the most discerning travellers.

If all that sounds enticing (and it should!), we have plenty of holiday options for you. From island hopping aboard a luxury yacht as it weaves its way through some of the 1,000 islands along Croatia's coastline to cruising through the Mediterranean aboard our stunning tall ship, Royal Clipper - a throwback to the nautical golden age, it's sure to be a memorable holiday. Or perhaps you'd prefer to cut through the gentle sea aboard something bigger? Celestyal Journey offers all the amenities of an ocean cruiser without the crowds.

Unbeatable value, which always includes

  • Accommodation on board luxury ships & in hand-picked hotels in the best locations
  • Insightful excursions & visits with local guides
  • Expert Riviera Tour Manager looking after you throughout
