7 nights - Sunny Sides of the Adriatic - from/to Trieste
About this cruise
If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Trieste on September 13, 2026, visiting Bari, Dubrovnik, Kotor and Split. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 3 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Italy, Croatia and Montenegro. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 11 restaurants on Mein Schiff 4, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
