Scenic Gems Of Croatia & Bay Of Kotor

This Adriatic cruise blends iconic destinations with lesser-known gems, offering a mix of dramatic mountains, scenic bays and charming coastal towns, all paired with authentic local experiences. Balmoral will sail through the Bay of Kotor, where fjord-like landscapes are best admired from the water, and dock within easy reach of charming old towns in Kotor, Koper, Split and Valletta. Smaller ports like Zadar and Kerkira offer a refreshing alternative to the usual hotspots. You can savour local flavours in a family-run konoba, browse bustling markets and try Dalmatian specialities like pašticada and peka. Watch locals play picigin on the beach and soak in the soulful harmonies of traditional Klapa music, bringing the region’s culture to life.
