Just north of Croatia on the Dalmatian Coast of the Adriatic Sea, Slovenia offers travelers a delightful seaside retreat. The coastal city of Piran is the main destination for our cruises that visit Slovenia aboard luxurious ships. This city has influences from both the five-century Venetian empire and also the Austria-Hungary empire, giving it a unique atmosphere. The Venetian Gothic architecture that you will see here is complimented by the signature Lipazzaner horses and the birthplace of famed violinist and composer Giuseppe Tartini. You'll see all of this on our guided tours of the city. Since Slovenia is just a one-day stop on most cruises, all of our tours feature other destinations throughout the Adriatic Sea too, from Italy over to Croatia. Start planning today!
Though most cruises spend just one day in Slovenia as you cruise the Mediterranean towards other destinations, like Italy or Croatia, a city tour of Piran will delight you. This charming and picturesque port town has preserved its medieval atmosphere and even has some of its historic defenses in good condition.
You will have the opportunity to see:
Tartini Square, named for the renowned composer and violinist Giuseppe Tartini.
The Venetian House
The Tartini House, where the violinist was born.
The 19th-century town hall
St. George’s Cathedral
Stunning architecture that reflects both the Venetian empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The holiday of a lifetime. The company is Alaksa-owned and thhat makes a big difference to the experineces you get i.e. meet genuine First Nations tribes people. The amount of wildlife was beyond my expectation, and seeing everything on sucha small, intimate boat made it even more spoecial and unique.

It was an outstanding, up-close, educational vacation of nature, culture, history, animals and geology! It was everything they promised! Binoculars were plentiful on the boat, but I'm glad I brought my own. Food was excellent. Rooms had black-out shades. Pack/wear multiple layers of clothing (I carried a small backpack when off the ship). Crew were delightful and very accommodating! Remember to jump FEET FIRST first when taking the optional polar plunge! Spend as much time outdoors as you are able and ENJOY!!!

Excellent travel advice and service
This is my second experience working with Adventure Life. I’m sold. Jess Heuermann is an experienced traveler and provides a lot of useful information when planning a trip. These are the questions I like to ask at the outset - What’s it like to go here, there, what would you suggest, what do people report, can we add any additional side trips? Jess took the time to answer my questions and seek additional information to share with me. Petchie Colina is outstanding in helping with travel logistics and final preparations. Adventure Life has excellent guides and offers private guides and small group adventures. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk with the guides and drivers to learn more about their countries, cultures and histories. A highlight was having the guides pick local restaurants where we could share meals together. Highly recommend.

Our six-day tour in Iceland went smoothly with one exception. We had asked for two rooms each night. Somehow we were booked with one room with three beds. It could not be fixed at the first hotel in Reykjavik because the hotel was fully booked. Once informed of the problem, however, Adventure Life rebooked for two rooms for the remainder of the trip. As an 85-year-old traveler, I appreciated that one could participate at different physical levels at many of the stops. Iceland is a great place to visit but on the expensive side.
