Cruise Description |
This epic cruise through Spain, the Mediterranean, the Adriatic and the Greek Islands blends historic charm with spectacular coastal beauty. With Balmoral docking close to city centres, exploring can begin immediately, while scenic cruising past Stromboli, the Amalfi Coast and the Strait of Messina offers stunning views from your the decks of your smaller ship. La Spezia is gateway to Cinque Terre and an overnight stay in Salerno unveils the impossibly beautiful Amalfi Coast. In the Adriatic, sail through the Bay of Kotor and step ashore in Kotor, Koper, Split and Valletta, where you can savour local flavours, browse bustling markets, and try Dalmatian specialities. The Greek Islands offer olive-clad hills, turquoise waters, ouzo and honey. Join us on deck to capture the colours of sunsets as Balmoral sails past the Temple of Poseidon and Mount Athos. This journey also visits cultural gems like Istanbul, where an overnight stay allows time to explore Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace, while markets in Limassol, Istanbul and Marmaris brim with spices, crafts, and local delicacies, offering a true taste of each destination. |
