The Adriatic Sea separates the Balkan states of Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, and Greece from the Italian peninsula. It offers a great way to experience the culture of each of these countries as you navigate from one destination to the next and visit the major historical centers, ancient ruins, museums, and small villages that populate this picturesque part of southern Europe. During the warm summer months, you might enjoy the sun-kissed turquoise waters while you swim and snorkel. Or try a more active tour that offers biking and hiking options in addition to the standard walking and sightseeing tours. Aboard the luxurious megayachts and river vessels that we have hand-selected, you will visit the coastal cities of Dubrovnik, Hvar, Kotor, Venice, Rome, AmalfiCapri, and Sarande, and some of Greece's most notable towns.
