Coveted by the ancient Greeks and Roman emperors alike, the coastline of Croatia and Slovenia along the Adriatic continues to entice modern explorers with its many riches—stunning natural beauty, significant history, and cultural jewels. Sun-dappled islands and well-preserved medieval towns dot the coast, each retaining its own authentic character and showcasing the idyllic marriage of land and sea.

We begin our tour in Slovenia’s capital city, Ljubljana, and discover magical Lake Bled before continuing to Plitvice Lakes, Croatia’s largest national park. We’ll admire the park’s beautiful lakes, caves, and waterfalls before heading to Zadar to begin our 7-night Adriatic cruise aboard the spectacular Queen Eleganza. Launched in 2018, this beautiful 18-cabin yacht features a casual ambiance and the ability to call at small islands and ports not accessible to large cruise ships.

We will sail along the Croatian coast from Istria to Dubrovnik, disembarking at charming cities such as Split, Hvar, and Korčula. As our ship approaches these ancient ports, we will be greeted by fortified walls rising from the water’s edge to protect towns that seem to belie a tumultuous history of two millennia. The dramatic stone buildings with distinctive tiled roofs and cobblestone streets are among the most picturesque in the world. In the distance, mountain peaks frame distinctive period architecture and untold archaeological treasures. Our leisurely pace allows ample time in port to sample regional cuisine and mingle with locals.

This special program aboard the Queen Eleganza has very limited space. Reserve your cabin today to ensure you are part of this program exclusive to W&L travelers.
