Take small ship cruises to Vis, Croatia, to the north of Italy. Visit Stiniva Cove for a swim in the clear Adriatic Sea, or hike to the top of Mount Hum to take in wide views of the green hills and bright blue water surrounding the island. Be sure to see the Blue Cave (also known as the Blue Grotto) on Hvar, just a short boat ride from Vis Island. This water-filled sea cave is known for its striking all-blue appearance when light reflects inside. You may also visit other Croatian destinations such as Bol, Dubrovnik, and Split. Traveling the Mediterranean on small ship cruises allows access to smaller reefs, coves, and beaches that larger vessels cannot reach.

This is a fabulous, very upscale sailing experience. Star Clipper is a tall clipper ship with masts and sails. You actually feel the waves and the movement of the ship. You get to see and experience the excitement of the raising and lowering of the sails depending on the winds. The ships hold only about 150 people so the experience is nothing like regular cruise ships that carry thousands of passengers. The small number of passengers allow you to get to know people and make friends.

I wanted to visit some of the islands in the Mediterranean that most cruise ships don’t go to. A friend recommended that I try a sailing ship so I googled and found the sea clippers and Adventure Life. My experience booking with them was excellent. They were professional and responsive. I’d use them again plus recommend them.

Our Balkans trip was the perfect blend of adventure, history, and cultural discovery. Each country offered something special—from Albania’s lively energy and stunning mountain landscapes to Montenegro’s breathtaking Bay of Kotor and Bosnia’s rich mix of cultures and moving history. The fall colors and scenic drives made every mile memorable. We loved the balance of guided tours, hikes, local food and wine experiences, and time to explore on our own. Our guides, Loren and Ernest, were outstanding—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of local insight and humor. Even after traveling more than 1,000 miles together, the journey never felt long or dull. It was a beautifully curated itinerary that captured the very best of the Balkans.
