Explore the beautiful Dalmatian Coast

This cruise offers guests the chance to experience the very best of the Dalmatian Coast, known for its remarkable scenery. The ruggedness of Mount Biokovo, Croatia can be seen from Borealis as you cruise past the dramatic cliffs carved from limestone, adorned with lush vegetation. The coastal gem of Split is nestled along the shimmering waters of Adriatic Sea, offering narrow streets, charming squares and bustling markets; while “Pearl of the Adriatic” Dubrovnik is an enchanting city renowned for its city walls encircling the Old Town, where Renaissance fountains and medieval architecture intertwine with gleaming marble squares and steep cobbled streets. Borealis will sail along the fjord-like Bay of Kotor, flanked by towering peaks and a rocky coastline dotted with waterside towns.

Experience life in the Adriatic

As you step ashore in Croatia, learn how cuisine is an integral part of its cultural identity, offering flavours of the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe. Take time to sample the freshly caught fresh seafood, accompanied by local olive oil and garlic, alongside a glass of the regions exceptional wines. Learn about traditional music and dance in Montenegro, which are deeply rooted in the country’s cultural heritage; often blending instrumental and melodic vocal performances, with a single-stringed instrument known as a gusle, and tell tales of historical legends. The Oro dance reflects the cultural influences on the country, and are compiled of intricate footwork, vibrant costumes and graceful movements; and are considered to be an integral part of Montenegrin celebrations.

Diocletian’s Palace, Split, Italy

Discover Balkan history

The Balkans has a complex tapestry of diverse cultures, conflicts and influences which have shaped the region over many centuries. It’s been the crossroads of various civilisations, including the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. Established in the 3rd century, the Roman Empire had a profound effect on the city of Split, where Emperor Diocletian built a grand place complex; known as Diocletian’s Palace. This beautifully preserved UNESCO World Heritage Site forms the heart of the Old Town of Split and reflects the enduring impact of Roman architecture. Kotor bears the marks of several empires having left their influences on its history and architecture. The most significant is the Venetian control, where they fortified the town with impressive walls and structures, giving it its distinctive charm and character.
