Your cruise at a glance
Hand-crafted highlights
Incredible scenery awaits on this Balmoral sailing to the Dalmatian Coast, scenic Greek Islands, the ornate landmarks of Turkey and the scenic mountain landscapes of Iberia. You will sail along the fjord-like Bay of Kotor and past the mountainous Makarska Riviera, with opportunities to witness sites such as Lake Bled and the Krka Waterfalls, the beautiful coastline of Zakynthos as it meets the blue-domed, whitewashed houses of Santorini, marvel at Turkish mosaics and architecture, and discover the limestone formations of the Ronda Valley cliffs, Gibraltar’s iconic Rock and the Sintra Hills. Immerse yourself in vibrant cultures, such as exploring bustling local markets, dining in authentic restaurants, sampling traditional dishes and enjoying the rhythmic beats of folk music and traditional dancing. You can discover the rich tapestry of Balkan history by visiting iconic landmarks like the Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace in Split and the Walls of Dubrovnik. You will also have the chance to discover the historic landmarks of the Palace of Knossos, Athens’ Acropolis, with its famous temple ruins, the Parthenon, and explore destinations steeped in maritime history, such as the Rock of Gibraltar with its rich seafaring past, while in Lisbon, landmarks like the Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery are a testament to Portugal’s maritime skifullness during the Age of Discoveries.
