Slovenia & Croatia

ABOUT THE TOUR

Led by Rickey Bevington, President of the World Affairs Council of Atlanta and Executive in Residence at Georgia State University’s Robinson College of Business (bio below).

Join us aboard the intimate 18-cabin Queen Eleganza for a cruise along the spectacular Adriatic coast. Throughout history, Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, Ottomans, and Austrians have vied for control of this strategic coastline that is dotted with over 1,000 islands. In a region well worth exploring for its natural beauty alone, visit spellbinding archaeological sites, impressive castles, dramatic palaces, and ancient city centers.

Begin the program in the magnificent walled city of Dubrovnik, Croatia before embarking on a 7-night Adriatic cruise. Launched in 2018, the beautiful and intimate 18-cabin Queen Eleganza yacht features a casual ambiance and the ability to call at small, inviting islands and ports not accessible to large cruise ships. Cruise the Croatian coast from Dubrovnik to Zadar, calling at Mljet, Korčula, Hvar, Split and Trogir. A leisurely pace allows for time in port to sample local cuisine and meet and mingle with residents. After disembarking the ship, travel by motorcoach to walk amongst the waterfalls at Plitvice Lakes National Park then continue to Slovenia’s captivating capital city, Ljubljana, and magical Lake Bled.

 

Lowest cabins starting at $7,990 per person plus airfare and taxes.
