Cruise Description

The Fred Olsen team has designed this iconic Mediterranean cruise to reveal charming cliff-edge towns, from the Italian Riviera’s Cinque Terre to Corsica’s Bonifacio. Balmoral will sail past the colourful Amalfi Coast, where you can witness Ravello, Amalfi and Positano from the comfort of your ship. You will also sail into the fjord-like Bay of Kotor and past the mountainous Makarska Riviera, while ashore, witness the wonders of nature at Lake Bled, Lokrum Island or Krka Waterfalls. Indulge in ‘la dolce vita’ – the sweet life – in Italy, as you savour local delights like scialatielli pasta, limoncello and pizza, and stroll through Sorrento’s sweet-smelling lemon groves. When in Croatia, immerse yourself in the vibrant culture, dine in authentic konobas, indulge in Dingač and Postup red wines and enjoy the rhythmic beats of folk music. There will also be opportunities to unearth fascinating Roman and Balkan history with visits to Paestum, Pompeii, Diocletian’s Palace in Split and the Walls of Dubrovnik.
