Coastal Gems – Dubrovnik & Kotor

About this cruise

You board in Ravenna on October 11, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Dubrovnik, Kotor, Corfu, Messina, Salerno and Civitavecchia (Rome), and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You get off in Civitavecchia (Rome), which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 4 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Croatia, Montenegro, Greece and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Dubrovnik, which is known as The pearl of the Adriatic. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Explorer Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All told, 6 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
