Sun-Kissed Adriatic – Kotor, Santorini & Split

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Ravenna on July 31, 2027, visiting Kotor, Piraeus (Athens), Santorini and Split. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 4 stops with a breather between each one. Crossing 3 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Montenegro, Greece and Croatia. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Brilliance Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Ravenna has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
