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 Le Lyrial 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.
Von dort aus 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.

Abfahrt 20.08.2023 um 17:30
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.
21. August 2023 - Korcula
Ankunft 21.08.2023 am frühen Nachmittag
Abfahrt 21.08.2023 abends
Der ganze Reiz dieser Hafenstadt beruht auf deren Lage: Sie befindet sich auf einem Felsvorsprung an der Nordostküste der Insel Korcula. Die Befestigungen des mittelalterlichen Viertels eröffnen Ihnen schöne Ausblicke auf die Halbinsel Pelješac. 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.

In ihrer Altstadt, die zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe erklärt wurde, steht die Geschichte im Mittelpunkt. Vielleicht sind Sie von den Abmessungen der Hauptpromenade, derPlaca, erstaunt. Ihre Breite kommt daher, dass sie eine ehemalige Lagune bedeckt. Die Gebäude, die sie säumen, sind aus elegantem Travertin. Am Pile-Tor empfängt Sie die Statue des Schutzpatrons von Dubrovnik, und Sie können das Küstengebiet während eines Spaziergangs auf den Befestigungsanlagen bewundern. Was befindet sich in der an die Mauer angrenzenden Festung des heiligen Johannes? Ein maritimes Museum und ein Aquarium mit seltenen Fischarten der Adria.

Die von den letzten abrupten und ausgewaschenen Gipfeln der Dinarischen Alpen umgebene mittelalterliche Stadt Kotor, schmiegt sich tief in ihre Bucht. Wie ein Heiligenschein steigt ein irrealer Dunst aus dem unbeweglichen Wasser und umgibt die spärlich gesäten kleinen Inseln mit einer märchenhaften Atmosphäre. An Bord Ihres Schiffes fahren Sie durch ruhige, klare Gewässer, zwischen schwindelerregenden Felsen und geschützten, in der Sommersonne schlafenden Buchten, in denen hin und wieder ein kleines Dorf von der Geschichte seiner Gebäude erzählt.

Sie wurden aufgrund ihrer Nutzung seit der Zeit der Griechen in die Liste des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbes aufgenommen.

Krka waterfalls & lunch (return Split)
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 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. If time permits, you can enjoy some free time at the National Park.
You will then discover some old water-mills where cereals are still ground by water-spun grindstones.
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.
- This excursion involves approximately 1 hour of walking with 150 steps. We recommend you wear comfortable shoes and to protect yourself from the sun. Swimming in the waterfalls is forbidden. Lunch is included in your tour. This tour is limited to 90 participants.

Split & the Diocletian Palace
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 tour involves 1 mile (1.5 km) of walking on cobblestone streets with some steps. We recommend you wear comfortable shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Appropriate dress is recommended to enter religious sites (shoulders and knees must be covered). You have to walk 900 yards (800 m) between the ship and the palace entrance.

Treasures & panorama of Dubrovnik
From the pier, meet your guide and start your stroll through the streets of this medieval town.
Along the way you will visit, among other places, the Franciscan Monastery whose cloister ranks among the most inspiring sites of the city. The Monastery houses also the oldest still working pharmacy in Europe and the third oldest pharmacy in the world founded in 1317. It is still active and still offers creams manufactured according to ancestral recipes.
After visiting the monastery, you will go to the Assumption Cathedral built in the 18th century on the ruins of a church dating from the 12th century destroyed by an earthquake in 1667. This one might surprise you by its simplicity and the clarity of its interior, but its treasure is among the richest in Europe, with a unique collection of relics in gold and silver.
You will continue with the Dominican Monastery, soberer than the previous one, and its museum with a fine collection of Renaissance paintings, including the triptych of N. Bozidarevic representing Dubrovnik before the earthquake or the table of Titian representing Sainte Madeleine and Saint Blaise.
Other fine buildings will be viewed from the outside, like the Sponza Palace notable for its columned courtyard with elaborate stone carvings, Church of Saint Blaise, Onofriou's Fountain, etc.

City walls & Lokrum Island kayaking
It is by an original way of transportation, kayak, that you will discover Dubrovnik’s charms. You will go along the city walls and navigate among caves and islands.
From the pier, meet your guide and stroll through the main street of Dubrovnik toward Pile Gate to the kayak centre.
After listening to the safety instructions, you will board your kayak and start your adventure.
You will row between the fortresses of Bokar and Lovrijenac.
The Bokar fortress is listed among Dubrovnik’s medieval fortresses and overlooks the south-west part of the old town. This circular fortress, dating from the 15th century, was built over a period of more than one century. This important monument, overshooting the medieval walls, was a key element in Dubrovnik’s defence system, including Pile Gate and City Bridge. In addition to its defensive role, it also served as a prison during the 19th century. Fort Bokar is one of the oldest castles of its kind in the world.
Built upon a 37-metre-high sheer rock overlooking the sea, fortress Lovrijenac is one of the most impressive locations in Dubrovnik. This detached fortress was of prime importance for the defence of the western part of Dubrovnik, both against attacks from land and the sea. Chronologists date the fort to 1018 or 1038. However, first records of the fort’s existence are from 1301 when the council elected the Commander of the Fort. According to legend, in the 11th century Venice planned to send its troops to this rock in front of Dubrovnik and build a fortress in order to conquer the city. However, Dubrovnik learned about this plan and the citizens were mobilised to erect a fortress at the very same spot before the Venetians arrive. While all the other fortresses are part of the city wall system, this one stands high on its own rock, a position which earned it the title ‘the Gibraltar of Dubrovnik’.
Leaving the forts behind, you will steer a course round the city walls to Lokrum. According to legend, Richard the Lionheart was cast ashore here after being shipwrecked in 1192 when he came back of his 3rd crusade. You will make a stop at the island, enjoy some refreshments and have time at leisure to discover the island or have a swim.
- All kayaks are 2-seaters. This tour involves some walking with some steps. We recommend you wear your swimsuit under your clothes, bring a towel from the ship and protect yourself from the sun. Children must be at least 12 years old in order to participate and be accompanied by a parent. Maximum weight is 125 kg/275 lb per person. This tour is not recommended for guests with mobility issues or back/neck problems. In case of strong currents, the initial itinerary can be modified. This excursion is limited to 42 participants.

Perast & our Lady of the Rock
From the pier, embark your coach for the 25-minute drive to Perast, town with almost the same number of churches as the number of inhabitants.
Enjoy the scenery and architecture of the old historical town of Perast which, between the 13th and 18th centuries, belonged to Venice. The most beautiful buildings were constructed under the period of the Republic of Venice in the 17th and 18th centuries when Perast was at its peak. The Parish Church in Perast was built in 1740 by the Venetian architect, Giuseppe Beati but only the church tower and the church vault remain. You will visit the St. Nicholas Church, patron saint of the sailors.
There are two small islands in the close vicinity of Perast: St. George Island and Our Lady of the Rock Island.
You will reach the man-made islet of Our Lady of the Rocks after a 15-minute boat ride. The stone plateau in the middle of the sea with a church on it is the result of the enduring efforts of generations of sailors. The island was built artificially by scuttling old ships and depositing stones around a small crag. The construction of a sanctuary began in the first century of the Venetian rule. The sanctuary was dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin because this cult was greatly venerated by the Venetians. On the altar is the famous icon of Our Lady of the Rock, a 15th century work by Lovro Marinov Dobricevic. It is the most valuable work of art in the church because its history is so closely related to that of the island, the only artificially built island in the Adriatic. The church itself is decorated with more than 2,500 votive tablets made of silver, mostly donated by seamen.
Finally, you will get back to Kotor, following your guide on a walking tour of the city.
- This tour involves approximately 1 hour of walking, mainly over uneven and cobble-stone streets. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Appropriate dress is recommended (shoulders and knees covered).

Every year on 16 September, the faithful gather around her tomb.

Treasures & panorama of Dubrovnik
From the pier, meet your guide and start your stroll through the streets of this medieval town.

After visiting the monastery, you will go to the Assumption Cathedral built in the 18th century on the ruins of a church dating from the 12th century destroyed by an earthquake in 1667.

City walls & Lokrum Island kayaking
It is by an original way of transportation, kayak, that you will discover Dubrovnik’s charms. You will go along the city walls and navigate among caves and islands.
From the pier, meet your guide and stroll through the main street of Dubrovnik toward Pile Gate to the kayak centre.
After listening to the safety instructions, you will board your kayak and start your adventure.
You will row between the fortresses of Bokar and Lovrijenac.
The Bokar fortress is listed among Dubrovnik’s medieval fortresses and overlooks the south-west part of the old town. This circular fortress, dating from the 15th century, was built over a period of more than one century. This important monument, overshooting the medieval walls, was a key element in Dubrovnik’s defence system, including Pile Gate and City Bridge. In addition to its defensive role, it also served as a prison during the 19th century. Fort Bokar is one of the oldest castles of its kind in the world.
Built upon a 37-metre-high sheer rock overlooking the sea, fortress Lovrijenac is one of the most impressive locations in Dubrovnik. This detached fortress was of prime importance for the defence of the western part of Dubrovnik, both against attacks from land and the sea. Chronologists date the fort to 1018 or 1038. However, first records of the fort’s existence are from 1301 when the council elected the Commander of the Fort. According to legend, in the 11th century Venice planned to send its troops to this rock in front of Dubrovnik and build a fortress in order to conquer the city. However, Dubrovnik learned about this plan and the citizens were mobilised to erect a fortress at the very same spot before the Venetians arrive. While all the other fortresses are part of the city wall system, this one stands high on its own rock, a position which earned it the title ‘the Gibraltar of Dubrovnik’.
Leaving the forts behind, you will steer a course round the city walls to Lokrum. According to legend, Richard the Lionheart was cast ashore here after being shipwrecked in 1192 when he came back of his 3rd crusade. You will make a stop at the island, enjoy some refreshments and have time at leisure to discover the island or have a swim.
- All kayaks are 2-seaters. This tour involves some walking with some steps. We recommend you wear your swimsuit under your clothes, bring a towel from the ship and protect yourself from the sun.

Perast & our Lady of the Rock
From the pier, embark your coach for the 25-minute drive to Perast, town with almost the same number of churches as the number of inhabitants.
Enjoy the scenery and architecture of the old historical town of Perast which, between the 13th and 18th centuries, belonged to Venice. The most beautiful buildings were constructed under the period of the Republic of Venice in the 17th and 18th centuries when Perast was at its peak. The Parish Church in Perast was built in 1740 by the Venetian architect, Giuseppe Beati but only the church tower and the church vault remain. You will visit the St. Nicholas Church, patron saint of the sailors.
There are two small islands in the close vicinity of Perast: St. George Island and Our Lady of the Rock Island.
You will reach the man-made islet of Our Lady of the Rocks after a 15-minute boat ride. The stone plateau in the middle of the sea with a church on it is the result of the enduring efforts of generations of sailors. The island was built artificially by scuttling old ships and depositing stones around a small crag. The construction of a sanctuary began in the first century of the Venetian rule. The sanctuary was dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin because this cult was greatly venerated by the Venetians. On the altar is the famous icon of Our Lady of the Rock, a 15th century work by Lovro Marinov Dobricevic. It is the most valuable work of art in the church because its history is so closely related to that of the island, the only artificially built island in the Adriatic. The church itself is decorated with more than 2,500 votive tablets made of silver, mostly donated by seamen.
Finally, you will get back to Kotor, following your guide on a walking tour of the city.
- This tour involves approximately 1 hour of walking, mainly over uneven and cobble-stone streets. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Appropriate dress is recommended (shoulders and knees covered).

Rovinj & its cathedral
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 Basilica 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).
- This excursion involves approximately 1.5 hour of walking on cobblestone streets with some steps. We recommend you to wear comfortable walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. Appropriate dress is recommended to enter religious sites (shoulders and knees must be covered).
