2009 5 Country Adriatic Cruise

Welcome to this wonderful tour and cruise program combining Croatia's magnificent Dalmatian Coast with the glorious city of Venice. The small and intimate MS Arion , while not luxurious, is the perfect choice to explore smaller and less visited ports like Zadar, Kotor and Ploce where bigger ships cannot dock.
