10 nights - Pearls of the Adriatic and Highlights of Italy - from Trieste/to Palma

About this cruise

You board in Trieste on October 11, 2026 for 10 nights visiting Split, Dubrovnik and Kotor, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. The trip wraps in Palma de Mallorca, so you won't retrace your steps. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Croatia to Spain. Keep an eye out for Civitavecchia (Rome): The Eternal City is just an hour away. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Mein Schiff 4 has 11 dining spots on board, most of them included. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 10 nights well spent.
