Die Adria überrascht und begeistert mit hunderten bezaubernden Inseln, die sich entlang der Küste erstrecken, und ihrem außergewöhnlichen Kulturerbe. Diese von Stränden und kleinen Buchten gesäumte Region strahlt Ruhe, Stille und Gelassenheit aus. Jeder, der in diesen türkisfarbenen Gewässern unterwegs ist, kehrt mit einzigartigen Erinnerungen zurück. Gehen Sie zu einer 8-tägigen Kreuzfahrt an Bord der Le Bougainville und entdecken Sie die unvergleichliche Pracht der Städte.
Ihre Kreuzfahrt beginnt in Venedig. Sie haben die Gelegenheit, die Stadt der Dogen mit ihren zahlreichen Kanälen, den Vaporetto-Booten und den berühmten Gondeln zu entdecken, bevor Ihre Reise weitergeht nach Kroatien in die Stadt Rovinj.
Im Norden Dalmatiens liegt das hübsche Fischerdorf Primosten mit seinen schönen traditionellen Steinhäusern und dem von der Republik Venedig geprägten Architekturerbe vor Ihnen. Das Tor zu den wunderschönen Wasserfällen von Krka begeistert mit seinem authentischen Flair und seiner außergewöhnlichen Umgebung.
Split öffnet Ihnen seine Tore. Sie entdecken den historischen Stadtkern, der zum UNESCO-Welterbe zählt, und seine Schätze wie den Diokletianpalast oder die Kathedrale des hl. Domnius.
Nach einem Zwischenstopp in Hvar nimmt die Le Bougainville Kurs auf die Insel Brac. Bol, die älteste Hafenstadt der Insel, offenbart sich in einem Labyrinth aus malerischen Gassen, gesäumt von traditionellen Häusern mit weißen Fassaden und roten Ziegeldächern, und paradiesischen Stränden, wie dem berühmtesten von ihnen: dem Kieselstrand von Zlatni Rat.
Weiter nördlich, vor der Küste Istriens, liegt die kleine Inselgruppe Brijuni, die als wahres Paradies auf Erden gilt. Auf diesen paradiesischen kleinen Inseln, auf denen kein Auto fährt, können Sie sich bei einer Kajak- oder Fahrradtour von den einsamen Buchten, antiken Ruinen und dem Nationalpark verzaubern lassen.
Anschließend legen Sie in Pula, der römischsten aller kroatischen Städte, an, bevor es weitergeht nach Slowenien. Die von Festungsmauern umgebene Altstadt von Piran versetzt Sie in eine mittelalterliche Atmosphäre mit venezianischem Einflüssen. Lassen Sie sich durch die Salzgärten führen, in denen jahrhundertealte Produktionsmethoden und die Wahrung der Traditionen an der Tagesordnung sind, und entdecken Sie die für das Fleur de Sel bekannten Salzgärten. Als krönender Abschluss führt die Reise Sie nach Venedig, der Serenissima, und ihrer Lagune.

Jahrhundert und die Ankunft des österreichischen Industriellen Paul Kupelwiser fortsetzt. Durch den Kauf der Hauptinsel des Archipels Veli Brijun trug er aktiv zu ihrem Ruhm unter den österreichisch-ungarischen Aristokraten der Belle Époque bei.

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.

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.
