Itinerary
Day 1: Welcome on board the SeaDreamII This Mediterranean cruise departs from Dubrovnik in Croatia, with boarding beginning in the afternoon, including a personal meet and greet with the captain. The SeaDream anchors off the walled city and tenders directly to the town gate, giving you plenty of opportunity to explore the delights of this cultural city, known locally as the Pearl of the Adriatic. The city is a UNESCO-protected site and has been since 1979, and boasts spectacular city walls, which are certainly a must-see as the main attraction. In fact, Dubrovnik is considered to be among the 10 best mediaeval walled cities in the world and we highly recommend wandering along the walls, where you will be rewarded with simply stunning views over the Old Town and the shimmering Adriatic Sea. Our recommended tours: We offer a complete holiday planning service, which means that we have the pleasure of offering you exclusive tours to enhance your experience. Whilst in Dubrovnik, you can enjoy our Buggy Safari with Views of the Srdj Hill or perhaps you would prefer our refined Dubrovnik Tour & Wine-tasting Experience.

Day 2: Explore the coastal delights of Kotor On the first full day of your Mediterranean cruise package, you will visit Kotor in Montenegro. This historic Mediterranean port is surrounded by an impressive city wall built by the Republic of Venice, and the Venetian influence remains dominant among the architectural styles. Kotor and the surrounding region are UNESCO protected and the SeaDream usually navigates close by the small islands of St George and Our Lady of the Reef, giving you the chance to admire the beautiful natural vistas that this special part of the world is known for before enjoying the delights in Kotor itself. Our recommended tours: Note that Kotor is highly protected and so watersports are not available at the port; however, we offer a selection of land adventures for your to enjoy, such as our Flavours of MontenegroFood Tour to an olive farm, or our beautiful Boka Bay Tour, which gives you the chance to visit one of Montenegro’s most beautiful churches. To find out more, simply click the “Tours & Land Excursions” tab at the top of the page.
Day 3: Discover Italy’s heel! Today, you will have the opportunity to explore the rich beauty of Apulia, which sits within Italy’s “heel”. SeaDream will moor at the port town of Gallipoli, which sits happily on the Ionian Sea in a prime position that offers glorious coastal vistas. Like many Italian cities, Gallipoli splits into two parts: the modern town and the historic old town, which is located on a limestone island connected to the mainland by a 16th-century bridge. The beauty of Gallipoli’s old and new towns is that you can enjoy particularly diverse and varied attractions – for example, the new town is home to modern architecture, including a skyscaper, while the old town features historic sights, such as the 13th-century Angevine-Aragonese Castle.
