Adriatic & Mediterranean – Split, Kotor & Corfu
About this cruise
If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Ravenna on August 16, 2026, visiting Split, Zadar and Kotor, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The trip wraps in Civitavecchia (Rome), so you won't retrace your steps. Every single day is a port day. 7 stops with no sea days in between. You're busy from start to finish. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Croatia, Montenegro, Greece and Italy, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Norwegian Gem keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
