Detailed Itinerary:
Adventure to the Adriatic - Itinerary day 1: Malaga
;img.crop(width:1080%2Cheight:608))
Set on the sun-drenched Costa del Sol, Malaga is a Moorish delight. During the Arab occupation of Spain, the city was the principal port of the Moorish kingdom of Granada. So what does that mean for you? It means the city of Granada and its striking Alhambra Palace are just a short drive away. Prepare to be blown away.
- See Malaga’s 16th-century cathedral. It’s known as ‘La Manquita’ or ‘one-armed woman’ because lack of funds meant only one of the two planned towers was completed.
- Visit Marbella, a Spanish town known for its hot climate, beautiful landscape and friendly locals. Wander its quaint narrow streets and have your camera ready for the famous Naranjos Square and the City Hall.
- Take a drive to the millionaire’s playground that is Puerto Banus. Admire the luxury yachts and pull up a pew in one of the open-air restaurants and bars that cater for an exclusive clientele.

Adventure to the Adriatic - Itinerary day 3: Palma
;img.resize(height:608);img.crop(width:1080%2Cheight:608))
Think leafy boulevards that echo with the stilettos of stylish shoppers, tiny tapas bars tucked down narrow side streets, and architectural gems hidden in the historic quarter. With its trademark cathedral dominating the skyline, cosmopolitan Palma never fails to impress.
- Spend some time exploring the city, snapping photos of 14th century Bellver Castle, browsing boutique shops, and tasting tapas in the authentic bars that barnacle the backstreets.
- Take a short drive into the Tramuntana mountains to visit Valldemossa, a village of cobbled streets, artisan shops and cafés, and the Royal Charterhouse where Chopin and George Sand once stayed.
- Don’t miss Palma Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece with soaring arches and sweeping bay views – and try to catch it glowing as your ship leaves the city.
Adventure to the Adriatic - Itinerary day 4: Ship at Sea
Adventure to the Adriatic - Itinerary day 5: La Goulette (for Tunis)
;img.crop(width:1080%2Cheight:608))
Enter the city of Tunis via this northern gateway – the port city of La Goulette. This place puts you a half-an-hour drive away from Tunisia’s capital, which is decked out with mosques, Islamic schools called medersas, and Tunis’ Great Souk – a spice-scented medina. Here, you can weave your way around stalls piled high with carpets, lanterns, shisha pipes and tea sets. Don’t miss a visit to the Bardo National Museum, too – it’s chock-a-block with exhibitions dedicated to Tunisian history. Other standout parts of the city include the ancient Roman city of Carthage, and the Ville Nouvelle, where art nouveau architecture nods to the time the city spent under a period of French rule.
Adventure to the Adriatic - Itinerary days 6: Valletta
;img.crop(width:1080%2Cheight:608))
As your ship cruises into Valletta, a magical skyline of soaring steeples and bulbous church domes rises to greet you. This is Malta's quintessential capital, a captivating city steeped in history.
- Stroll the colourful streets of Valletta, taking in sights like the Grandmaster's Palace, the House of Parliament and Castille Palace.
- Visit Mdina, the island's old capital. It's an impressive walled city dripping in Medieval and Baroque architecture. They call it the Silent City because cars are forbidden. Carriage-laden horses trotting through the streets and the gentle chatter of Mdina's inhabitants are the only sounds likely to pierce the sleepy calm.
- Take a boat ride to the spellbinding Blue Grotto, an impressive 50 metre-deep cave.
Adventure to the Adriatic - Itinerary days 7: Ship at Sea
Adventure to the Adriatic - Itinerary day 8: Kotor
;img.crop(width:1080%2Cheight:608))
For years, the travel-savvy have kept Montenegro under their sunhats. But now the cat’s creeping out of the bag – and it’s hardly surprising. A tiny republic in southeast Europe, the scenery here will have your jaw dropping to the floor the moment you arrive. Cruise passengers get the best vistas – as you sail in to port, you’ll be treated to wide-angle views of patent-shine lakes and green mountains.
- Explore Kotor, a gorgeous Medieval walled city with World Heritage status. The scenery here is definitely something to write home about. Surrounded by mountains, it’s set on southern Europe’s deepest fjord and one of the world’s most spectacular natural harbours. Delve inside the age-old walls and discover crooked streets, cobbled piazzas and camera-worthy churches.
- Take a trip to Budva. It’s the most popular tourist destination on Montenegro’s map – and quite rightly so. Beautiful architecture meets seductive sandy beaches in this spot. Perhaps that’s why many a millionaire has decided to live here.
- Visit one of Montenegro’s sleepy towns on market day and watch the streets burst into life with colourful craft stalls selling lace, leather and ceramics.
Adventure to the Adriatic - Itinerary day 9: Dubrovnik
;img.crop(width:1080%2Cheight:608))
Ancient city walls. Higgledy-piggledy red rooftops. Cobbled streets worn by time. That’s Dubrovnik, a heart-stealing city that takes you right back to the Medieval times from the moment you arrive. It shot to fame when Game of Thrones was the talk of the town, as lots of iconic scenes were filmed here.
- Check out the 17th-century cathedral in the old town. It houses more than a hundred gold and silver relics of saints dating back around 900 years.
- Make tracks for Rector’s Palace, the former residence of Dubrovnik’s Republic Rector. It houses an impressive collection of artefacts and furniture.
- Take a boat tour around the Lapad Peninsula. It’s dotted with pebbled beaches, olive trees and the waters are see-the-bottom clear.
