Your cruise at a glance
Hand-crafted highlights
Our Journey Planners have designed this fantastic Balmoral cruise to showcase the Italian Riviera’s Cinque Terre, Corsica’s Bonifacio, the colourful Amalfi Coast, the fjord-like Bay of Kotor and past the mountainous Makarska Riviera, scenic Greek Islands, where the coastline of Zakynthos meets the iconic island of Santorini, and the unique city of Istanbul with its iconic landmarks. In Italy, indulge in ‘la dolce vita’ – the sweet life – as you savour local delights like scialatielli pasta, limoncello and Naples’ iconic pizza, and wander through Ravello’s fragrant gardens and Sorrento’s lemon groves. Immerse yourself in Croatia’s culture as you explore local markets, dine in authentic konobas and enjoy the rhythmic beats of folk music; while in Greece sample traditional cuisine, including souvlaki and moussaka, and experience the rhythmic folklore of Crete with a performance of traditional Greek dancing. In Turkey, savour flavoursome meze, rejuvenate in soothing hammams, and amble through the vibrant Grand Bazaar. On this cruise, there will also be opportunities to unearth Roman history with visits to the well-preserved cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, discover the rich tapestry of Balkan history at Diocletian’s Palace in Split, explore the Palace of Knossos and Athens’ Acropolis, with its famous temple ruins, the Parthenon.
