Cruising the Adriatic - what a way to spend your holiday

Adriatic Cruise ships operate regularly in this part of the Mediterranean and between them they can offer one of the most exciting and fascinating holidays possible.

A typical Adriatic Cruise will from Venice in Italy and end in Croatia at the other end of the Adriatic. In-between there are thousands of beautiful islands with plenty of eye-catching scenery that can be viewed from onboard your Adriatic Cruise ship.

An Adriatic Cruise is so popular since over a million people annually visit this coast which is known for its art galleries, architecture, nightlife, shopping and great food. All things are possible. For example, you can put together a cruise to travel as a group to the Adriatic coast but first arriving in Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia.

Once you arrive in Ljubljana, you will meet a representative from the cruise company who will transfer you to a sea side resort of your choice. The most popular resort is Portoroz, which attracts thousands of tourists who choose the Mediterranean for its mild climate. Some of the places to visit in Portoroz include the popular Rialto Bridge and the St Mark Square. You can then be transferred to port Koper and depart from there to Pula Town.

Pula Town is 3000 years old and has some interesting sites including the Roman amphitheatre, Golden Gate, Triumphal Arch and Augustus Temple. The port is also worth your group taking the time to explore - you can later take the excursion to Motovun; an old stone village.

After this your travel company can organize for your departure to Zadar. The shores and vegetation on the way along the coast are very beautiful and make the cruise lovelier especially when you get to see all this at your convenience from the boat. You could dock at different ports to shop or visit casinos although most of your needs are actually more than amply met aboard the ships which normally have all the basic amenities especially hotels and restaurants. The main tourist attraction sites in Zadar include the Roman Forum remains and the Benedictine Convent.

The next place to view while on the cruise is Dalmatia's Old Capital, which is 1700 years old. Some of the other tourist sites in this town include St Duje Cathedral, Peristyle Square and the Golden Gate. From there your group can visit to Korcula Island, Marco Polo's birth place. The island's Old Town is surrounded by an ancient wall. Some of the churches in this island have priceless paintings including Tintoretto's. Visitors can also visit the island's museum and art galleries.

The Adriatic Cruise continues to the 13th century walled Dubrovnik city. This old city has not changed and is part of the world heritage sites on UNESCO's list. It has a unique museum plus Franciscan and Dominican monasteries. Another of the other towns along the coast is Kotor - a medieval town. It has been well preserved and has medieval architecture monuments and is the next "Old city".

Your group can also visit Budva before you arrive in the commercial port of Ploce.

We hope you enjoy your Adriatic Cruise.
