Cruise the small Mediterranean country of Albania, bordered by Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, and Montenegro for a unique view into the Mediterranean and Balkan culture and history. As you cruise between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, you will have the chance to visit the coastal port town of Saranda. The local town of Butrint has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its monuments dating back to the 4th century BC, like the Hellenic theater, the largely undiscovered Lion Gate, the Byzantine basilica, and Venetian towers. You'll also see the highlights of the ancient Greek, Roman, and Byzantine empires in well-preserved ruins. Your tour will also offer other activities like biking, visiting small villages & archaeological sites, and perhaps even a helicopter tour. Contact us to start planning your Mediterranean cruise
