7 nights - Sunny Sides of the Adriatic - from/to Trieste
About this cruise
There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Trieste on September 27, 2026 and visits Bari, Dubrovnik, Kotor and Split. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Crossing 3 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Italy, Croatia and Montenegro. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Mein Schiff 4 takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Trieste has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
