Croatia is known for its beautiful islands, typical Mediterranean coasts, the Walls of Dubrovnik, and historic cities like Split. Explore Croatia with Ponant and immerse yourself in a multicultural country with a rich history. Located in the heart of Europe, surprises await around nearly every corner. Dubrovnik is recognized as one of the jewels of the Adriatic. Visit the Assumption Cathedral, built on the site of a 12th-century church, and symbolizing the rebirth of the city.

Exceptional cities, emblematic landmarks, and old-world charm are all part of this unforgettable journey. The adventure begins with a memorable crossing of the Corinth Canal, followed by a stop in Sicily’s capital city, Palermo, where you can visit royal tombs housed in the 12th-century Palermo Cathedral or take in an opera performance at the neoclassical Teatro Massimo, one of the largest theatres in Europe. From there, Sardinia’s charming squares, the picturesque Balearic Islands, the lively culture of Málaga, the archeological wonders of Valencia, and the quaint nostalgia of Lisbon all await.

This cruise begins in Casablanca, where Arab culture is perfectly entwined with modern swagger. After a day exploring “The White City,” the bewitching Moroccan port town of Tangier awaits, famous for it rich landscapes, international influence, and mint tea. Passing the Strait of Gibraltar is both mythical and magical—according to Greek mythology, the straits were formed when Hercules smashed through the mount Atlas. Once on the European continent, spend the day in Malaga and laze along the Costa del Sol. A handful of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Seville’s Alcázar and the famed Gothic Cathedral said to contain the tomb of Christopher Columbus, also dot the itinerary.
