Istrian Riviera 
featuring Hvar and Rovinj

You swim through a myriad of the Adriatic’s marvels, from Roman ruins along Croatia's coast to gondolas and bellinis on La Serenissima's canals. Is there any place lovelier than Dubrovnik, with its exquisitely walled city where ramparts evoke Rome's grandeur? Not until discovering Istria’s heartland for a day of delighting in the profound umami of gastronomy and wine. You succumb to the uniqueness of light in Rovinj, a ravishing under-the-radar stop where marble streets lead to magical moments, framed like snapshots from the Cinque Terre. Venice awaits, where the iconic bell tower serves as a compass pointing to piazzas and bridges, until you settle into a lavish lunch and a moment of luxurious calm, reflecting on a journey in the amber glow of the Adriatic.

  • Departure from
    Dubrovnik

    For some, Dubrovnik is the setting of Game of Thrones, but for many more, it’s the “Pearl of the Adriatic.” Dubrovnik’s sunlit, gleaming fortifications—among the best-preserved in Europe—feel like something out of a dream.
    Wander through the city’s medieval streets and admire the Assumption Cathedral, the Gothic-style Rector’s Palace, and the Dominican and Franciscan Monasteries. Walk along the Stradun, the main street, or visit Onofrio’s Fountain, which has provided mountain-fresh water for over 600 years.
    For adventurers, the blue Adriatic awaits. Set sail to nearby islands or explore the depths of the sea. Dubrovnik effortlessly merges fantasy and reality, captivating all who visit.

  • Hvar, 
    Queen of the Adriatic Islands

    Pronounced “roar” in Croatian, Hvar exudes a magnetic charm. Frequently ranked among the world’s most beautiful islands, Hvar is beloved by the elite, drawing visitors like Tom Cruise, Bill Gates, and Beyoncé.
    The town of Hvar centers around a cobblestone square with a 16th-century baroque cathedral, surrounded by cafés and terraces. Nearby, a 13th-century fortress offers stunning views over Hvar’s pristine beaches, white-tiled rooftops, and lavender-dotted hills.
    When you reach the island’s beaches, with waters so blue they seem to blend with the sky, you’ll understand why Hvar holds such allure. Here, nature’s beauty and timeless elegance come together, leaving an indelible impression.

    • The Secrets of Lecce​
  • Rovinj, 
    a hidden Gem in Istria

    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.

  • 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.
