Cruising the Adriatic

We spent a week aboard MS La Belle de L'Adriatique cruising the sunny Adriatic coastline. Starting in the Croatian port city of Dubrovnik, we sailed north to Šibenik, Korčula, Hvar and Split before heading south to Montenegro's medieval town of Kotor. We enjoyed sunny weather, delicious foods and stunning historical sites.

Hvar - Harbor

Hvar

Hvar is our second destination in Croatia. The country’s old town Stari Grad is surrounded by dry stone wall structures which were built at the time of the Ancient Greeks and have therefore been declared UNESCO World Heritage.

Our guide informed us that this is since recently known as the “Ibiza of Croatia” for its turquoise …

Introduction

As a very active traveler, whenever I plan my next adventures, I make sure to keep my days busy with explorative tours and activities. I absolutely loved my expedition cruises to Antarctica and the Galapagos Islands, which totally served the purpose of “making it exciting” and interesting.

Coming from this school, I used to look at …

Beautiful Rovinj

Rovinj

After a delicious buffet breakfast, our day started with exploring our first destination: Rovinj.

Rovinj is located in Istria, at the border with Slovenia. This pretty little town is a real gem made of cobblestone streets that lead to bustling squares and terraces often shaded by canvas awnings. Being Italian, I found it extremely fascinating to …

Adriatic Highlights

While every stop we made was impressive in its own way, two destinations stood out to me in particular. Our first excursion was a tour of Mljet National Park. The national park comprises about 30% of the Westernmost part of the cigar-shaped island. Since we were there in mid-October, the end of the tourist season, the small town ofPomena, where …

Active Cruising

When I talk about cruising, people often assume massive amounts of food from endless buffets with intermittent afternoon naps on the deck. As relaxing as that sounds, I think I would go stir crazy within an afternoon. We did have access to more food than we could possibly eat, I was delighted with our options to choose an ‘active’ …

One more cheers with our Big Beers

Come for the Beauty, Stay for the Food

A question that kept coming up for me and my mother when we were initially planning this trip was, “What is Croatian food like? What could we expect from the cuisine?" Early Google searches indicated that along the coast, we could expect to get a lot of seafood. Other than that, I was at a loss. It is true, though, that seafood – …

Our ship, Mama Marija

The Small Ship Advantage

You’ve decided you want to cruise along the coast of Croatia. Great! But there are a lot of options out there to sift through. It might not be the first question but definitely an important question you will want to ask yourself – do you want to sail by large or small ship?

Cruise ships come in a variety of sizes – the largest …

So You Want to Go to Croatia?

The Adriatic coast has been growing in popularity for travelers of all kinds over the past few years. Long thought to be a party destination for the young and hip, islands off the coast of Croatia offer more than just late-night discos (although you certainly can still find these bars if you want!). Croatia is a diverse country, and cruising along …

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
