Village Life Along the Dalmatian Coast

July 14–22, 2009
Sail from the romantic port of Venice across the dark blue Adriatic Sea and along Dalmatia’s ruggedly beautiful, island-dotted shoreline. Rarely visited by American travelers, the Dalmatian Coast offers an unmatched collection of Roman ruins, medieval towns, stunning rivieras, and idyllic islands. Embark the intimate, yacht-like M.V. Monet, known for its inviting, informal ambiance, and spend a full day exploring the unrivaled cultural and artistic treasures of Venice. Then, walk in the footsteps of emperors and gladiators in the great Roman Arena in Pula, stroll through Diocletian’s legendary palace in Split, discover the ancient port of Hvar, and explore the Romanesque and Gothic quarters of Dubrovnik. Continue with a cruise through the secluded waters of Mljet National Park and a tour of the walled city of Kor˘cula before concluding with the splendid medieval churches of Zadar. A special 2-night Venice pre-program option is also offered.
