OVERNIGHT MOORINGFirst Class Ships: Itineraries ensure for an early arrival if full-day excursions are offered, or in the mid-afternoon if a half-day tour is scheduled, allowing you to explore the cities andislands in greater depth.

Great Value Ships: Due to port regulations, vessels are oftenunable to dock in port until 4-5pm. When possible, yourCaptain will endeavour to dock earlier, however this can not beguaranteed.

Due to the increasing popularity of the islands, ports havelimited space and multiple mooring of ships (side by side) iscommon practice.

Many other cruises are available in Croatia (departing Split, Opatija andDubrovnik) and Turkey (Bodrum, Marmaris and Fethiye). Cruises are available to

suit all budgets and durations between 3 and 8 days, and some can becombined with cycling or hiking tours of the beautiful islands that are visited
