The cruise at a glance

The Olsen Way Highlights

This cruise has been designed to offer an insight into the fascinating yet turbulent history of the Mediterranean and Adriatic, a region shaped by different conflicts over the centuries. You can delve into the history of the Phoenicians at Carthage from La Goulette and explore Cartagena’s Roman sites, accompanied by a local archaeologist. Two calls to Croatia will present Diocletian’s Palace in Split and the Walls of Dubrovnik, which have protected the city for centuries. You can uncover many natural wonders too, from the cascading waterfalls of Croatia’s Krka National Park to Montenegro’s Lovćen National Park. Borealis will also cruise the fjord-like Bay of Kotor to reach the fortified town of Kotor.
