Cruise Description Kid Explorers Club in partnership with MAUD FONTENOY FOUNDATION.

To enjoy the slow passing of time on a mild summer evening, take in the intoxicating scent of the pine trees surrounding the island home of Stari Grad, or wander through the bustling streets of Dubrovnik, PONANT invites you on a 8-day cruise to (re)discover the Adriatic Sea, between culture and natural gem.

Throughout your journey, you will benefit from an excursion included per person per port of call, to choose from a selection offered by PONANT. On this cruise, savor local cuisine on a family farm in Dubrovnik, discover Hvar in a Volkswagen Beetle and revel in the captivating atmosphere of Piran. The diversity of experiences on offer promises you intense and varied moments (to discover the full range of excursions, go to the itinerary tab).

The stunning city of Dubrovnik is the first leg of your journey. In the old town where you drop anchor, you can read its history in the cobbled streets; meanwhile, you can discover Dalmatia’s traditions on a tour of the Konavle valley with its famous vineyards.

The country’s oldest city, Stari Grad, also carries echoes of the past. Founded by the Greeks 2,400 years ago, its plain is now listed with UNESCO for having retained its original agricultural landscape of vineyards and olive groves.

Hopping from one island to another, you will visit Bol and Brac Island, the proud home of the most beautiful beach in the Adriatic, Zlatni Rat, before calling at Rab. Dominated by its four emblematic bell towers and surrounded by medieval walls, it also offers an opportunity to visit secret coves and idyllic beaches in the surrounding area.

Brijuni National Park is undoubtedly one of the highlights of your cruise for its incredibly beautiful landscapes, ancient remains and surprising wildlife.

Just a stone’s throw away, Pula, the most Roman of Croatian cities, offers a combination of rich history, reflected in its dazzling Roman amphitheatre, and wooded outskirts punctuated with beaches.

The Slovenian shores await you in Piran, a medieval town extending out into the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic. Its architecture, influenced by five centuries under the rule of the Republic of Venice, affords it a singular charm.

Your arrival in the city of the Doges marks the end of your cruise. The city that was once called the Serenissima Republica and which dominated this arm of the Mediterranean for centuries is the ideal place to round off your odyssey.
