Destination Notes

  • Dubrovnik and Kotor streets can be polished and slippery; footwear matters.
  • Kotor is often a tender port, so buffer time for independent plans.
  • This route is strong for scenery from the ship, not only port sightseeing.

Planning Notes

  • Best for repeat Mediterranean travelers who already know Barcelona or Rome.
  • Consider a balcony if scenic sail-ins are a priority.
  • The start and end ports are different, so plan open-jaw flights.
