Seaside Serenades – Split & Kotor

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Ravenna on September 13, 2026, visiting Split, Dubrovnik and Kotor, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. Last stop: Civitavecchia (Rome). Every single day is a port day. 7 stops with no sea days in between. You're busy from start to finish. The route threads through 4 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Croatia, Montenegro, Greece and Italy. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 14 restaurants on Norwegian Gem, 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. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
