Cruise Description |
This journey through Spain, the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, and the Greek Islands blends historic charm with breathtaking coastal beauty. With Balmoral docking close to city centres, exploring old towns is effortless and you can also enjoy spectacular scenic cruising past Stromboli, the Amalfi and Maratea coasts and the Strait of Messina. Balmoral’s smaller size allows closer access to Mahon, Bastia, and Propriano, so you can start exploring right away. La Spezia is your gateway to picturesque Cinque Terre, while an overnight stay in Salerno unveils the Amalfi Coast. In the Adriatic, sail through the fjord-like Bay of Kotor and step ashore in Kotor, Koper, Split and Valletta, and sample local cuisines in a family-run konoba, explore bustling markets and try Dalmatian specialities like pašticada and peka. The Greek Islands offer olive-covered landscapes, turquoise waters and the flavours of ouzo and honey. As Balmoral sails past the Temple of Poseidon at sunset and Mount Athos with its ancient monasteries, join us on deck for perfect photo opportunities. Meanwhile, in Rhodes, visit Lindos, where a medieval town leads to an ancient Acropolis, and explore Crete and Samos, where mountainous vistas meet glorious beaches. |
