Cruise The Adriatic Sea with Emerald Yacht Club

Rocky cliffs, sandy beaches and fishing ports that have been trading for centuries, The Adriatic Sea separates the Italian Peninsula from the Balkan Peninsula.

Cruise from the Gulf of Venice, along the Dalmatian coast, and island hop in Croatia, as verdant shorelines border crystalline waters and communities thrive just as they have since antiquity.

Dubrovnik

Walk along its centuries-old, excellently preserved stone walls for truly extraordinary views of the city. Explore its many ancient landmarks or visit the beach to enjoy the warm waters.

Approaching Dubrovnik from the sea is a spectacle in itself, with the city’s vast medieval walls appearing the same today as they did 700 years ago. From here, a warren of cobbled streets leads to the captivating Old Town, a World Heritage Site brimming with Baroque palaces and ancient stone houses, all topped with perennial terracotta tiles.

Marvel at Rector’s Palace, St Saviour Church and Dubrovnik Cathedral, later taking a guided hike to the ramparts of Lovrijenac, the city’s iconic clifftop castle. There’s time, too, for a ride on Dubrovnik’s beloved cable car – a trip that promises one of Europe’s best coastal views.
