An Adriatic Escape
from Venice to Split

Set sail from Venice in Italy , crossing the Adriatic to discover the sun-drenched treasures of Croatia . Your first call is Rovinj, a romantic Istrian jewel where pastel houses rise directly from the sea and quiet, cobblestone streets invite exploration. Your voyage continues south to the medieval island of Korcula, wrapped in lush pine forests, olive groves, and centuries of maritime history. Your exceptional journey culminates in the vibrant city of Split, where modern life thrives beautifully within the monumental walls of the ancient Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace, concluding a perfect crossing of Venetian heritage and Dalmatian charm.

Begin your journey earlier with the Grand Italian Tour - a seamless Italian experience combining the Orient Express hotels in Venice and Rome, the train La Dolce Vita Orient Express, and your Sailing Yacht voyage.

  • Venice La Serenissima

    Venice is a city that exists like no other—a floating wonder, crisscrossed by canals and steeped in history. You may think you know Venice—St. Mark’s Square, the Doge’s Palace, the gondolas gliding beneath the Bridge of Sighs—but the city has a way of surprising even seasoned visitors.

    Stroll through the medieval streets, visit the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, explore the vibrant Rialto market, or browse the unique shelves of the Acqua Alta bookstore. The Venice Film Festival, Carnival, and timeless beauty of La Fenice theater are just a few of the city’s many cultural gems.

    At nightfall, with only the soft murmur of voices, footsteps, and water lapping against stone, Venice becomes a dreamscape—one that invites you to lose yourself and discover hidden wonders at every turn.

    Extend your Venetian experience with a stay at Orient Express Palazzo Donà Giovannelli, an elegant retreat set within a historic 15th-century palace.

  • Rovinj, Croatia

    Like many Croatian towns, Rovinj’s charm lies in its maze of winding alleys and gleaming cobblestone streets. However, with its pastel-colored facades and a history rooted in Venetian rule, Rovinj feels like a romantic blend of Italy and Croatia.
    Wander through its streets to see the iconic Balbi’s Arch, decorated with the winged lion of Venice, and marvel at the Church of St. Euphemia, crowned by Istria’s tallest bell tower at 61 meters. The Adriatic’s deep blue waters and Rovinj’s inviting beaches beckon for a swim.
    As the sun sets, the sky ignites in vibrant hues, offering one of the most breathtaking sunsets in the world—a fitting close to a day spent in Rovinj’s enchanting embrace.

  • Korcula, Croatia

    A fortified jewel on the Adriatic, Korcula captivates with its medieval beauty, pine-fringed shores and quietly timeless allure. Rising from the sea in a mosaic of stone walls, terracotta roofs and narrow lanes, the island reveals a landscape where history, nature and maritime elegance exist in perfect balance. Wander through the old town, often likened to a miniature Dubrovnik, where graceful squares, palaces and carved facades speak of centuries past. Discover St. Mark’s Cathedral, whose Gothic-Renaissance silhouette watches over the town, then linger along intimate streets filled with artisan shops and shaded cafés. Beyond the walls, vineyards, olive groves and hidden beaches unfold beneath the Mediterranean sun, while nearby coves invite unhurried swims in clear, tranquil waters. As evening settles over the harbour, Korcula takes on a softer glow, suspended between heritage and serenity. Korcula is a refined Adriatic escape, where culture, light and island grace come beautifully together.

    Set on the sparkling Dalmatian coast of Croatia, Split blends ancient grandeur with the vibrant ease of the Adriatic.

Along the seafront promenade, palm trees, cafés and passing boats create an atmosphere both elegant and relaxed. Beyond the old town, beaches, pine-fringed coves and nearby islands invite moments of quiet escape. Split is a sunlit port of heritage and vitality, where Mediterranean spirit meets timeless coastal charm.
