Entdecken Sie mit PONANT die Schönheit der Adria auf einer einzigartigen 8-tägigen Kreuzfahrt in Kroatien und Montenegro. Lassen Sie sich von den verborgenen Schätzen der Dalmatinischen Küste mitsamt ihrem türkisfarbenen Wasser an Bord der L’Austral verzaubern.
Ihre Reise beginnt in Venedig, sodass Sie die Gelegenheit haben die Stadt der Dogen mit ihren zahlreichen Kanälen, den Vaporetto-Booten und den berühmten Gondeln zu entdecken.
Als nächstes nehmen Sie Kurs auf Korcula, eine der grünsten Inseln Kroatiens, die von Olivenhainen, Weinbergen und alten Gebäuden geprägt ist. Ein Ort voller Geschichte und Geburtsort des Entdeckers Marco Polo.
Split öffnet Ihnen seine Tore. Sie entdecken den historischen Stadtkern, der zum UNESCO-Welterbe zählt, und seine Schätze wie den Diokletianpalast oder die St. Domnius-Kathedrale.
Danach fahren Sie zur UNESCO-Welterbe-Stadt Dubrovnik, die mit ihren Befestigungsmauern ihren Beinamen „Perle der Adria“ alle Ehre macht. Gut geschützt innerhalb der Wehrmauern, mit ihren typischen terrakottafarbenen Dächern, besticht die Stadt mit charmanten Palästen, Klöstern und Brunnen.
Genießen Sie unvergessliche Momente beim Stopp in der Bucht von Kotor in Montenegro. Bewundern Sie die mittelalterliche, zwischen Meer und zerklüfteten Felsen eingeschlossene Stadt und ihre historischen Denkmäler. Das ruhige und tiefe Wasser der Bucht und hier und dort schwebender Dunst schaffen eine irreale und märchenhafte Atmosphäre.
Nach einem Zwischenstopp auf der wunderschönen Insel Hvar führt Sie die letzte Etappe nach Rovinj, wo Sie den venezianischen Einfluss der Stadt entdecken. Stolz zeigt sie das Wahrzeichen des geflügelten Löwen auf dem Balbi-Bogen, den Sie beim Bummel durch die malerische Altstadt bewundern können.
Als krönender Abschluss führt die Reise Sie nach Venedig, der Serenissima, mit ihrer Lagune.

Stolz und unvergänglich herrscht Venedig seit dem 6. Jh. über ihre Lagune. Man glaubt, sie zu kennen, bevor man überhaupt ihren Boden berührt hat. Dennoch erliegen Sie unweigerlich dem Charme der unzähligen Schätze der „Serenissima“: Markusplatz, Basilika, Dogenpalast, Canal Grande und die Gondeln. Sie möchten sicherlich auch ein weniger bekanntes Venedig entdecken, sich in dem Gewirr aus Gässchen und Kanälen verlieren, die Plätze besichtigen und hinter die Türen der Kirchen schauen. Das außergewöhnliche Kulturerbe sollte Sie aber nicht vergessen lassen, Ihre Gaumen rund um ein Glas Spritz und einige Tramezzini zu verwöhnen.

Der ganze Reiz dieser Hafenstadt beruht auf deren Lage: Sie befindet sich auf einem Felsvorsprung an der Nordostküste der Insel Korcula.

Um zu diesen zu gelangen, können Sie die monumentale Treppe des Revelin-Turms benutzen.Andere Strecke: die Stufen unter Schatten spendenden Palmen des Meerestors. Irgendwo zwischen den Gassen taucht der Glockenturm der St.-Markus-Kathedrale auf. Dieses Emblem der Stadt ermöglicht Ihnen, mühelos das ganz nah gelegene Haus auszumachen, wo Marco Polo geboren sein soll. Die Insel wartet auch mit namhaften Weinen auf wie rotem Plavac oder weißem Posip.

Built on a peninsula, the streets of Korcula are organised around its main artery according to a "fishbone" plan drawn in the 13th century. To overcome the lack of space within the walls of the old town, squares are small, houses are narrow, churches and public buildings are constructed vertically. Fully fortified in the 16th century; its walls were destroyed in the 19th century and only a section of a wall still faces the harbour.
From the pier, meet your guide and start your walking tour of the old town.
Your first visit will be the Bishop’s Palace and its Icon museum. The museum contains a unique collection of Byzantine Icons from the 13th to the 15th century and ceremonial pieces from the 17th and 18th centuries. The collection is primarily from Korcula sailors, who acquired the pieces on their journeys, especially to Crete, in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Then, you will discover Saint Mark’s Cathedral. This cathedral is probably the most important building in Korcula Old Town. Completed in the 15th century at the place of another church from 13th century, it is built in Gothic-Renaissance style. It was erected by local masters and craftsmen of stone masonry, very well known for their Renaissance and Baroque pieces in Dubrovnik and Venice.
Continue your exploration with the visit of the Korcula Town Museum. Facing the cathedral, the museum is housed in Gabrielis palace, a 3-storey building with basement and attic built between the 15th and 16th century. The museum presents various collections covering the history and culture of the town from the Ancient times to nowadays.
During your walking tour, you can see the monumental staircase which joins the Revelin Tower. This 14th century portal and its 15th century Revelin tower frame the only land access to the walled Old Town. The gate is embellished on the inside with a sculpture of Saint Mark's lion over its arch.
Finally, you will have the choice between following your guide to join your ship or strolling on your own.

On this tour, discover nature’s wonders: the Krka National Park and its famous waterfalls. A natural frontier between northern and central Dalmatia, the Krka River joins the Adriatic Sea at Sibenik. On its journey, the Krka drops down from a height of 45 metres (147.6 feet) in a succession of no less than 17 natural falls, before forming a lake and then narrowing down again to Skradinski Buk.
From the pier, board your coach for a 30-minute scenic drive to the Krka National Park where you will see Skradinski Buk, the largest waterfall of the national park. Located on river banks, Skradinski Buk houses mills and wash houses. Upon your arrival, you will have the opportunity to discover the ethnological museum.
Located in the park, the museum provides a great deal of knowledge and history explaining how the park became a wildlife sanctuary for many different species of animals and plant life.
You will then discover the old water-mills where cereals are still ground by water-spun grindstones.
If time permits, you can enjoy some free time at the National Park.
After enjoying some free time, you will re-board your coach and continue to the Village of Stankovci.
In the House of Dalmatian prosciutto, you will be able to learn about the production method of Dalmatian prosciutto and taste different products prepared here. The manufacturing facility is equipped with the latest technological devices, but whenever possible, they still use a natural drying system with the strong Mediterranean wind – 'bura'.
After visiting the house of Dalmatian Prosciutto and having your lunch, you will join your coach and return to your ship harboured at Split, 1 ½-hour drive.

After the short walk (15 minutes) from the port to the Old Town you will start with the walking portion of the tour.
The Old Town of Split is built on and around the spectacular Roman Palace erected by the Roman Emperor Diocletian (born in Salona - todays Solin) in the 4th century. The walking tour starts with a visit of the Palace on the ground gallery that is still very well preserved. It offers a good view at how the life in the Palace was organised.
You will also visit the very interesting Cathedral of St. Duje (patron saint of the city). According to medieval sources, Archbishop John of Ravenna purified in 650 the mausoleum of Diocletian by getting rid of its idols and founded the Cathedral whose bell tower is now the symbol of Split.
The Cathedral is built on the remains of an ancient shrine and is supposed to be the oldest in the world. A visit will also be made to the charming Temple of Jupiter, turned into the baptistery by Christians. Observe the front panel or the ceiling with grotesque faces. Cross the Palace of the southern gate to the North door and discover the ramparts and the immense "statue of Gregory of Nin" by the Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic.
After the walking tour you will head back to the ship. If you wish to spend some time on your own, you can visit the colourful open market (largest on the coast) or spend some time in the town before returning to the ship.

This small and charming town is located around a natural port and it is undoubtedly one of the most famous seaside resorts of Dalmatian coast.
A lot of splendid monuments as the Cathedral, the ancient Arsenal and different palaces are bearing witness to a rich history of Gothic and Renaissance arts.
From the pier, follow your guide through narrow tiny streets to the 15th century Franciscan Monastery. The cloister with its rounded arches and a well in the middle dominates the Renaissance monastery. The former spacious refectory and a small, adjacent room have been turned into the monastery museum. Along with a collection of old books and coins, the famous "Last Supper", a work belonging to the Venetian School of Palma the Younger from the end of the 16th century, has the strongest claims on the attention of the numerous visitors.
After crossing the main square, you will pass by the Cathedral of Saint Stephan (outside visit). It was built in stages during the 16th and 17th centuries, while the interior was not wholly completed until the 18th century. From outside, it has the characteristics of the Renaissance style and inside the baroque style.
Then, you will visit the Benedictine Monastery, which holds a rich collection of lace made of agave leaves.

Let yourself be guided by a tasty mix of history, sumptuous landscapes, and gourmet delights. Whether you are a truffle connoisseur or a novice, this experience will leave you with a unique memory.
From the pier, you will board your coach and start your one-hour commented drive to Motovun. This medieval, hilltop town is a captivating symbol of the Istrian interior. Back then, Motovun forest was quite bigger than it is today, and both white and black truffles found in that area were among the best quality truffles to be found in Istria. You will enjoy a guided walk and some free time to explore the narrow streets of this singular village.
After another short, 15-minute bus drive, you will reach the Istria peninsula hinterland and the village of Paladini, where you will meet with the Karlic family: a grandfather, a mother, grandchildren, and their dogs at their farm. From Paladini, near Buzet, the Karlic family's truffle business was established in 1966 by Mr Ivan Rašpolic.
Your hosts will first take you on a truffle hunt in their own woods, where they grow and harvest black truffles. All the truffles are hidden underground and can't be found by your eye alone. However, the trained dogs are adept at recognizing their strong smell.
Back at the farm, they will introduce you to the history of truffles in Istra. You will taste delicious products made of truffles, all prepared by the family, including Istrian cheese with truffles, sausages with truffles, truffle paté, honey with truffles, olive oil with truffles. The highlight of your experience will be the preparation of the famous Istrian "fritaja" (scrambled eggs with truffles), where you will be invited to join in and cook the fritaja.
After this delightful moment, it will be time to re-board your coach and head back to your ship in Rovinj.

From the pier, follow your guide and start your walking tour of the historical centre of Rovinj. The historical centre is almost entirely built on a rocky island and connected to the mainland since the 13th century. During your tour, you will discover the Venetian influence and its rich cultural legacy, omnipresent in the architecture of the tall houses with warm red tiled roofs and the narrow streets intersected by covered passageways and archways, decorated with ancient frescoes.
The highlight of your visit will most certainly be the Church of Saint Euphemia, a prestigious building dating from the 8th century. Its 63-metre high bell tower rises out of the city centre, and is the most remarked symbol in the Istria region.
Built on the ancient ruins of a Roman church, it was altered in the 17th century in the Baroque style, and houses the relics of Saint Euphemia. They were brought from Constantinople in the 9th century for their safekeeping in a marble sarcophagus. There is also a mural depicting the life and the martyrdom of the saint. Every year on 16 September, the faithful gather around her tomb.
The church contains several treasures and works of art like Gothic statues from the 15th century and paintings from the 16th and the 17th centuries (The Last Supper and Christ in the Gethsemane).
At the end of your visit, you will enjoy a local snack before returning to your ship.

Enhance your cruise and extend your trip with a carefully designed programme.
Day 1 -Venice
Meet at Venice Airport in the Arrival hall. Look for PONANT sign. You will be greeted by our local representative off the flight selected by PONANT or any other flight (provided that you have previously communicated your flight schedule to your travel agent).
You will be transferred to the hotel Splendid Venice 4*.
Dinner at leisure.
Overnight at the hotel.
Day 2 - Venice
After breakfast, you will leave your hotel by boat to explore some of the hidden gardens of the city, learn their history and find out what prompted the locals to create gardens in such a challenging environment. Gardens in Venice come as a surprise: although many of the palaces have their own small, private garden, when wandering around it is easy to get the impression that Venice is a city of stone.
The first stop is Nani Bernardo Palace, opened especially for a private visit. Designed by the architect Vittoria and commissioned the Bernardo family, the palace was built in the mid-16th century with a beautiful Italian garden. On the other side of the Grand Canal, you will then enjoy a private visit of Palazzo Malipiero.
Initially built in a Byzantine style, it has undergone some modifications over the centuries. The adjacent Italian-style garden with a view of the Grand Canal, a rarity in Venice, makes it even more distinctive.
Like many others, this garden was created in the late 18th century, when the large palace gardens situated on the outskirts of the city disappeared because of residential and industrial development.
You will then be transferred by boat to Sant’Erasmo. While this is the largest island in the Venetian lagoon, it is only sparsely populated. For years this has been Venice’s countryside, the agricultural zone which produces the fruit and vegetables consumed by the city-dwellers. Its artichokes are particularly renowned. You will take a walk through the vineyards of the Cantina Orto di Venezia estate, before tasting three vintages of locally produced Orto, a white wine full of this special island’s unique character. This wine is made from ancient Italian grape varieties; the vines are cultivated using traditional and eco-friendly methods. Driven by their passion and tenacity, the Thoulouze family have managed to recreate the ancestral methods of drainage using the natural tides of the lagoon.
Orto is a white wine with a high mineral content and a flavour that reflects its terroir. It can be drunk on any occasion but goes especially well with the products of the Venetian lagoon: fish, artichokes, and asparagus. It was recently named the best Italian Malvasia vintage.
After the visit, you will take a boat ride to Mazzorbo, a rural island connected to Burano by a wooden pedestrian bridge. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant.
In the afternoon, you will return to Venice where you will learn the art of mask making.
Venetian masks have been worn in Venice since ancient times. They have a long history of protecting their wearer’s identity during promiscuous or decadent activities, such as gambling in one of the many casinos that dotted the city. The art of mask making is one of Venice’s oldest handicrafts. Guided by the desire to keep this traditional art form alive, a famous Venetian mask-making workshop will welcome you for a course in mask decoration including theory and practice. Once you have selected the type of mask you wish to decorate, you will choose among the different decorating techniques available and combine them to make your own one-of-a-kind Venetian mask.
The experts on hand will explain the ancient technique of making a Venetian papier-mâché mask, providing important historical information on the use of masks in Venice over past centuries, together with an explanation of the most significant models. At the end of the course, you will get to keep the mask you decorated, as a memento of this unforgettable experience.
You will return to your hotel by boat, to enjoy the rest of the day and evening at your leisure.
Day 3 - Venice
Breakfast at your hotel, morning at leisure and check-out.
You will then visit a tavern to enjoy a cooking lesson and learn the secrets of Venetian cuisine. With the chef’s guidance and supervision, you will create typical local dishes as you learn more about the culture and cuisine of the region. At the end of the lesson, you will eat what you prepared and toast to this memorable experience.
You will then be transferred by boat to the pier of Venice to embark on board your ship.
Your hotel:
The Splendid Venice 4* is a boutique-hotel in the heart of the historic centre of the city, near Saint Mark’s Square and the Doge’s Palace. Its location by the canals, its intimate atmosphere, and its refined style, will immediately immerge yourself into the Venetian spirit. Its 165 carefully equipped rooms offer a cosy cocoon combining contemporary design and Italian touch. The sophisticated decor of the Lounge Bar is a perfecto place to have a break overlooking the city and its canals. While the restaurant Le Maschere takes you between land and sea in the heart of the authenticity of the Venetian terroir.

Fully fortified in the 16th century; its walls were destroyed in the 19th century and only a section of a wall still faces the harbour.
From the pier, meet your guide and start your walking tour of the old town.
Your first visit will be the Bishop’s Palace and its Icon museum. The museum contains a unique collection of Byzantine Icons from the 13th to the 15th century and ceremonial pieces from the 17th and 18th centuries. The collection is primarily from Korcula sailors, who acquired the pieces on their journeys, especially to Crete, in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Then, you will discover Saint Mark’s Cathedral. This cathedral is probably the most important building in Korcula Old Town. Completed in the 15th century at the place of another church from 13th century, it is built in Gothic-Renaissance style. It was erected by local masters and craftsmen of stone masonry, very well known for their Renaissance and Baroque pieces in Dubrovnik and Venice.
Continue your exploration with the visit of the Korcula Town Museum. Facing the cathedral, the museum is housed in Gabrielis palace, a 3-storey building with basement and attic built between the 15th and 16th century. The museum presents various collections covering the history and culture of the town from the Ancient times to nowadays.
During your walking tour, you can see the monumental staircase which joins the Revelin Tower. This 14th century portal and its 15th century Revelin tower frame the only land access to the walled Old Town. The gate is embellished on the inside with a sculpture of Saint Mark's lion over its arch.
Finally, you will have the choice between following your guide to join your ship or strolling on your own.

After the short walk (15 minutes) from the port to the Old Town you will start with the walking portion of the tour.
The Old Town of Split is built on and around the spectacular Roman Palace erected by the Roman Emperor Diocletian (born in Salona - todays Solin) in the 4th century. The walking tour starts with a visit of the Palace on the ground gallery that is still very well preserved. It offers a good view at how the life in the Palace was organised.
You will also visit the very interesting Cathedral of St. Duje (patron saint of the city). According to medieval sources, Archbishop John of Ravenna purified in 650 the mausoleum of Diocletian by getting rid of its idols and founded the Cathedral whose bell tower is now the symbol of Split.
The Cathedral is built on the remains of an ancient shrine and is supposed to be the oldest in the world. A visit will also be made to the charming Temple of Jupiter, turned into the baptistery by Christians. Observe the front panel or the ceiling with grotesque faces. Cross the Palace of the southern gate to the North door and discover the ramparts and the immense "statue of Gregory of Nin" by the Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic.
After the walking tour you will head back to the ship. If you wish to spend some time on your own, you can visit the colourful open market (largest on the coast) or spend some time in the town before returning to the ship.

Let yourself be guided by a tasty mix of history, sumptuous landscapes, and gourmet delights. Whether you are a truffle connoisseur or a novice, this experience will leave you with a unique memory.
From the pier, you will board your coach and start your one-hour commented drive to Motovun. This medieval, hilltop town is a captivating symbol of the Istrian interior. Back then, Motovun forest was quite bigger than it is today, and both white and black truffles found in that area were among the best quality truffles to be found in Istria. You will enjoy a guided walk and some free time to explore the narrow streets of this singular village.
After another short, 15-minute bus drive, you will reach the Istria peninsula hinterland and the village of Paladini, where you will meet with the Karlic family: a grandfather, a mother, grandchildren, and their dogs at their farm. From Paladini, near Buzet, the Karlic family's truffle business was established in 1966 by Mr Ivan Rašpolic.
Your hosts will first take you on a truffle hunt in their own woods, where they grow and harvest black truffles. All the truffles are hidden underground and can't be found by your eye alone. However, the trained dogs are adept at recognizing their strong smell.
Back at the farm, they will introduce you to the history of truffles in Istra. You will taste delicious products made of truffles, all prepared by the family, including Istrian cheese with truffles, sausages with truffles, truffle paté, honey with truffles, olive oil with truffles. The highlight of your experience will be the preparation of the famous Istrian "fritaja" (scrambled eggs with truffles), where you will be invited to join in and cook the fritaja.
After this delightful moment, it will be time to re-board your coach and head back to your ship in Rovinj.

From the pier, follow your guide and start your walking tour of the historical centre of Rovinj. The historical centre is almost entirely built on a rocky island and connected to the mainland since the 13th century. During your tour, you will discover the Venetian influence and its rich cultural legacy, omnipresent in the architecture of the tall houses with warm red tiled roofs and the narrow streets intersected by covered passageways and archways, decorated with ancient frescoes.
The highlight of your visit will most certainly be the Church of Saint Euphemia, a prestigious building dating from the 8th century. Its 63-metre high bell tower rises out of the city centre, and is the most remarked symbol in the Istria region.
Built on the ancient ruins of a Roman church, it was altered in the 17th century in the Baroque style, and houses the relics of Saint Euphemia. They were brought from Constantinople in the 9th century for their safekeeping in a marble sarcophagus. There is also a mural depicting the life and the martyrdom of the saint. Every year on 16 September, the faithful gather around her tomb.
The church contains several treasures and works of art like Gothic statues from the 15th century and paintings from the 16th and the 17th centuries (The Last Supper and Christ in the Gethsemane).
At the end of your visit, you will enjoy a local snack before returning to your ship.
