Mit nicko cruises Hochseekreuzfahrt nach Kroatien Dubrovnik

From the Ionian Sea to the Adriatic

8 days | Athens • Nafplion • Katakolon • Corfu • Saranda • Kotor • Dubrovnik

From the Peloponnese peninsula to the beautiful island of Corfu in the Ionian Sea and into the Adriatic Sea – this is the route that VASCO DA GAMA takes on this wonderful cruise. Along the way, you can marvel at the gigantic Corinth Canal and the ruins of Olympia. You will stroll on Sisi’s favourite island and stretch your toes in the glorious sand of Saranda, Albania. In Montenegro, you might even think you are in Norway – that’s how impressive the fjord is that contains the town of Kotor. Dubrovnik in Croatia has successfully claimed the reputation of being the “Pearl of the Adriatic” for some years now. The pedestrianised old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a perfect place to walk around and enjoy yourself.

You think you have already visited the most beautiful places in Greece? Then come with us to Nafplion and be proven wrong!
You need not be big into sports to fi nd Olympia fascinating. More than 3,000 years ago, a sacred site was built here in honour of Zeus, the father of the gods.
There are two UNESCO World Heritage Sites to visit around Saranda in Albania: the ruined city of Butrint and the stone city of Gijrokastra.
In Dubrovnik, it is also worth taking a bird’s eye view of the city. For this, take the cable car up Srd Mountain.
