Explore the mountains, bays and islands of the Dalmatian Coast
Known for its breathtaking landscape, the Dalmatian Coast is at its best when seen from your smaller sized ship. As you cruise past the striking limestone cliffs covered in rich flora, you can view the untamed beauty of Mount Biokovo, Croatia from Balmoral. Nestled along the shimmering Adriatic Sea, the coastal gem of Split offers narrow streets, charming squares, and bustling markets. Meanwhile, you will cruise along the fjord-like waters of the Bay of Kotor, bordered by high peaks and a rocky shoreline with little villages by the water's edge. From Split, witness the picturesque church perched on an islet in Lake Bled's azure waters, as well as the cascading Krka Waterfalls. Join us on a tour of the charming coastal village of Cavtat to explore its red-roofed homes and cobblestone alleys; or visit the botanical gardens of Lokrum Island.
Experience the Dalmatian Lifesyle
Discover how Croatian food, which features flavours from the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe, is a vital component of the country's cultural identity as soon as you step ashore. Spend some time sampling freshly caught seafood served with garlic and olive oil from the surrounding region. Discover the rich cultural legacy of Split through its traditional folk dance and music, explore the vibrant fish market and konobas, and watch locals playing Picigan on the beach. Make time to sample Croatian Dingač and Postup red wines in Dubrovnik as Pelješac Peninsula boasts steep slopes and a unique microclimate ideal for vineyards.
