This cruise, in partnership with the Maud Fontenoy Foundation, will cultivate the art of peaceful travel as well as a family spirit, thanks to its customised activities on board and on shore for youngsters*, with the Kid Explorers Club.
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.

Ports of Call & Excursions
15 August 2025 16 August 2025 - Dubrovnik
Embarkation 15/08/2025 from 16:00 to 17:00
Departure 16/08/2025 at 22:00
Emblem of the Dalmatian coast, Dubrovnik is magnificently positioned on a rocky spur. History is sovereign here, in this ancient city, now a listed UNESCO World Heritage site. You will perhaps be surprised by the proportions of La Placa, the central drag through the city. The sheer width of it can be explained by the fact that it straddles a former lagoon. The elegant houses along La Placa are built in the legendary travertine stone. At Pile gate, you will be greeted by the statue of the patron saint of Dubrovnik, and you can admire the coastline as you walk along the ramparts. But what’s inside Fort Saint John, adjoining the outer walls? A maritime museum and an aquarium featuring rare fish from the Adriatic.
17 August 2025 - Stari Grad, Hvar Island
Arrival 17/08/2025 midday
Departure 17/08/2025 late evening
You will sail towards the popular island of Hvar, for a day in Stari Grad, an intimate port of call that is off the beaten track. Let your feelings guide you and discover this pretty city located at the end of a fertile plain, planted with vines and olive groves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The organisation of its parcels, marked out by dry stone walls that punctuate the landscape, goes back to ancient times. Wander around the small streets at your leisure, discovering the town’s pretty boutiques and gourmet restaurants.
18 August 2025 - Bol
Arrival 18/08/2025 early morning
Departure 18/08/2025 late evening
Bol is a destination in the Dalmatian archipelago, best kept secret. This picturesque village is located on the southern coast of Brac Island. Its traditional architecture has unbelievable charm: little houses with white facades and red tiled roofs provide the perfect setting for laid-back meanders. Beyond the port, the waterfront promenade leads onto the beaches which are shaded by pines and cypresses. The most famous of them is Zlatni Rat, “the golden horn”. From the belvedere on Vidova Gora mountain, you can see its unusual contours and get an eyeful of the other Adriatic islands.
19 August 2025 - Rab
Arrival 19/08/2025 midday
Departure 19/08/2025 late evening
We have no doubt that the authenticity of this little island in Kvarner bay will charm you beyond belief. Dating from Adriatic Antiquity, its name means “wooded lands” in reference to the pinewoods, cypresses and cork oaks surrounding the main town. This town is called Rab, like the island. Here, you will see architecture of Venetian influence, inherited from the Middle Ages, illustrated by the bell-tower. Below, the ramparts provide views embracing the entire coastline, punctuated by deserted creeks.
20 August 2025 - The Brijuni Islands
Arrival 20/08/2025 early morning
Departure 20/08/2025 midday
Viewed from above, the Brijuni archipelago forms rounded shapes in dazzling colours against the blue hues of the Adriatic. This group of 14 Istrian islands has been inhabited by man since the Bronze Age, thanks to its mild climate and favourable geographical position. The architectural heritage of these islands is very significant, since Roman ruins from the 1st century BC can be found here. Vestiges from the Byzantine and Venetian periods round off this deep-dive into the past which continues right up to the 19th century with the arrival of the Austrian industrialist Paul Kupelwieser. By purchasing Veliki Brijun, the largest island in the group, he actively contributed to the reputation of the archipelago among the Austro-Hungarian aristocrats of the Belle Époque. Later on, great political leaders such as Marshal Tito, the former president of Yugoslavia, would mingle here with the great writers of the time, including James Joyce or Thomas Mann. The islands were granted national park status in 1983, for their natural beauty and their biodiversity. Discover this unique corner of paradise on a bike or in a kayak, via land or from the refreshing waters of the Mediterranean.
20 August 2025 - Pula
Arrival 20/08/2025 early afternoon
Departure 20/08/2025 evening
The Pearl of the Adriatic, lying at the southern tip of the Istrian Peninsula, Pula is undoubtedly the most Roman of all Croatian towns. Some of the greatest pages in history were written here, as the breathtaking ancient remains testify. Take your pick exploring the amphitheatre, the Twin Gates, the Gate of Hercule and the triumphal Arch of the Sergii. Stroll through the busy lanes in the old town, enjoying the warm welcome of the locals, and perhaps you will be tempted to try the famous Kvarner scampi or Istrian ham.
21 August 2025 - Piran
Arrival 21/08/2025 at night
Departure 21/08/2025 late evening
On the Slovenian coast, the picturesque town of Piran stands on a tongue of land bathed by the Adriatic. Its old town, girded by fortifications, provides a medieval atmosphere embossed with Venetian nuances. From Tartini square, you can explore a whole interweave of mysterious streets located on the hillside, leading you to Saint George’s church, built on a hillock overlooking the shoreline. After admiring the view, don’t miss a good look at the nave, and its rich decorations of frescoes and panelling. You will also see that the tower built behind the church reproduces the famous bell-tower of Saint Mark’s square. During your peregrinations, make sure you try a borek, a sort of pasty which can be sweet or savoury, filled with meat or fruit.
22 August 2025 - Venice
Arrival 22/08/2025 early morning
Disembarkation 22/08/2025 at 08:00
Proud and eternal, Venice has reigned on its lagoon ever since the 6th century. You may think you know this city before even setting foot here. You will inevitably fall in love with the charm of the innumerable treasures of the Serenissima: Saint Mark’s square, the basilica, Doges palace, the Grand Canal and the gondolas. Yet, secret Venice is also waiting for you to explore its little interlacing streets and canals, to ramble through its squares and to push open the doors of its churches. The city’s extraordinary heritage shouldn’t stop you from enjoying a glass of Spritz and a few tramezzini.
Walking on Ston walls & oyster tasting
From the pier, board your coach for a 1-hour scenic drive along the Adriatic Road toward the town of Ston.
Ston was built according to the plans approved by the Dubrovnik government in 1335 and amended in 1370 and is considered one of the best planned and best structured cities in Europe. The walls of Ston were a massive architecture and construction feat. Originally 7,000 metre long (22,965 ft.), they consist of several parts; the Ston city walls, the Mali Ston city walls and the Big wall with its three forts. Its forts and towers are strengthened by 10 round and 31 square flanking towers, as well as 6 semicircular bastions. It took almost four centuries to finish these complex defence walls, as the builders had to adapt to the rough terrain and advancements in warfare technology. The walls were last used for defence in the 19th century, and today they are a priceless monument of immense architectural and cultural value.
Once arriving at Ston’s walls, you will start your hiking passing distance of almost 900 meters over demanding terrain with more than 250 steps before joining your coach for a ride to Mali Ston, the 'oysters capital' of Croatia.
Upon arrival in Mali Ston, you will board a local boat which will take you to oyster and mussel beds. Your host will welcome you on board and introduce you with oyster & mussel farming in this area. You will have the opportunity to learn about the oyster & mussel production as well as to taste freshly prepared oysters & mussels including mussel buzara (mussels cooked with wine, garlic and olive oil).
Finally, re-board your coach for a 1-hour return ride back to Dubrovnik along the old historical road passing through the old villages of Dubrovacko Primorje.
· This tour is an active hiking tour and involves approximately 2 miles (3 km) of walking on uneven and sloping grounds with over 250 steps. We recommend you wear comfortable hiking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Tour is not recommended for guests who are not in good phyisical shape.The tasting is included on your tour. This tour is limited to 40 participants.

Medieval Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik, despite a devastating earthquake in 1667 and the ravages of many wars, is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Begin your walk with a stroll along Dubrovnik's Stradun, a wide pedestrian way lined with shops and cafés and a remarkable number of historic buildings and monuments. At its western end, you arrive at the Franciscan Monastery whose cloister ranks among the most inspiring sites of the city. The Monastery houses the oldest pharmacy in Europe, and third oldest pharmacy in the world, founded in 1317. It is still active and still offers salves manufactured according to recipes passed from generation to generation.
A short walk from the monastery brings you to the Cathedral of the Assumption. Built in the 18th century on the ruins of a church destroyed in the 1667 earthquake, its design is surprisingly simple. But it is a treasure trove of gold and silver reliquaries and several priceless paintings, including a polyptych over the main altar of the Assumption of the Virgin by Titian.
As you make your way back to the pier, your guide will point out some of Dubrovnik's most important cultural monuments — Sponza Palace, identifiable by its gallery of arcades, the Church of Saint Blaise, built in 1715 in Baroque style, and the richly detailed Onofrio Fountain, fed by an aqueduct built in the 15th century that brings potable water to the city from a spring 7 miles away.
The final visit of your tour is at the Rector's Palace. This Gothic-Renaissance structure overlooking the harbor is now a cultural history museum that tells the story of Dubrovnik when it was the capital of the proud Republic of Ragusa, a maritime power that rivalled Venice through much of the later Middle Ages.
· Because this excursion is entirely on foot, we recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Appropriate clothing must be worn when visiting religious sites: trousers for men and skirts/slacks covering the knees for women. Photography is not permitted in the Cathedral. The order of visits may change.

During your walking tour, you will admire splendid landmarks such as the Cathedral, the ancient Arsenal, and various palaces, all bearing witness to the rich history of Gothic and Renaissance art.
After this short stroll, board your coach and head towards Stari Grad to visit the Hora Estate. Also known as Hora or Ager, the Stari Grad Plain is an exceptionally well-preserved testament to the Ancient Greek period, earning a place on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2008.
In the heart of the plain stands Agroturizam Pharos, one of the few buildings in the area, where the Žuvela family continues the agricultural traditions of the Ancient Greeks. Spanning 32,000m², this working farm is a true oasis of heritage and organic produce, far removed from the beaches and the bustling coastal towns.

Discover Bol on Foot
From the gentle shores of Bol, embark on a captivating journey through the history and culture of Dalmatia. Nestled on the southern coast of the island of Brac, this picturesque town is the oldest settlement along the Brac coastline. Its name, derived from the Latin vallum, evokes the ancient earthen fortifications that bear witness to its rich past.

From the pier, board your coach for a 1-hour scenic drive along the Adriatic Road toward the town of Ston.
Ston was built according to the plans approved by the Dubrovnik government in 1335 and amended in 1370 and is considered one of the best planned and best structured cities in Europe. The walls of Ston were a massive architecture and construction feat. Originally 7,000 metre long (22,965 ft.), they consist of several parts; the Ston city walls, the Mali Ston city walls and the Big wall with its three forts. Its forts and towers are strengthened by 10 round and 31 square flanking towers, as well as 6 semicircular bastions. It took almost four centuries to finish these complex defence walls, as the builders had to adapt to the rough terrain and advancements in warfare technology. The walls were last used for defence in the 19th century, and today they are a priceless monument of immense architectural and cultural value.
Once arriving at Ston’s walls, you will start your hiking passing distance of almost 900 meters over demanding terrain with more than 250 steps before joining your coach for a ride to Mali Ston, the 'oysters capital' of Croatia.
Upon arrival in Mali Ston, you will board a local boat which will take you to oyster and mussel beds. Your host will welcome you on board and introduce you with oyster & mussel farming in this area. You will have the opportunity to learn about the oyster & mussel production as well as to taste freshly prepared oysters & mussels including mussel buzara (mussels cooked with wine, garlic and olive oil).

Medieval Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik, despite a devastating earthquake in 1667 and the ravages of many wars, is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Begin your walk with a stroll along Dubrovnik's Stradun, a wide pedestrian way lined with shops and cafés and a remarkable number of historic buildings and monuments. At its western end, you arrive at the Franciscan Monastery whose cloister ranks among the most inspiring sites of the city. The Monastery houses the oldest pharmacy in Europe, and third oldest pharmacy in the world, founded in 1317. It is still active and still offers salves manufactured according to recipes passed from generation to generation.
A short walk from the monastery brings you to the Cathedral of the Assumption. Built in the 18th century on the ruins of a church destroyed in the 1667 earthquake, its design is surprisingly simple. But it is a treasure trove of gold and silver reliquaries and several priceless paintings, including a polyptych over the main altar of the Assumption of the Virgin by Titian.
As you make your way back to the pier, your guide will point out some of Dubrovnik's most important cultural monuments — Sponza Palace, identifiable by its gallery of arcades, the Church of Saint Blaise, built in 1715 in Baroque style, and the richly detailed Onofrio Fountain, fed by an aqueduct built in the 15th century that brings potable water to the city from a spring 7 miles away.
The final visit of your tour is at the Rector's Palace. This Gothic-Renaissance structure overlooking the harbor is now a cultural history museum that tells the story of Dubrovnik when it was the capital of the proud Republic of Ragusa, a maritime power that rivalled Venice through much of the later Middle Ages.
