The program is rich and exciting, yet relaxed and comfortable, with no long bus rides. Don’t miss your chance to explore the true gem of the Adriatic!
We begin our journey with a visit to the town of Kotor — nestled in the most picturesque corner of the Bay of Kotor, the true jewel of the Adriatic.
Upon arrival, you'll enjoy an engaging walking tour through the Old Town, where you’ll discover fascinating facts, legends, and stories from the town’s rich history.
Kotor is a true treasure trove of medieval heritage and culture. As you wander through the narrow maze of its ancient streets, you’ll hear tales of Kotor’s most notable historical figures, admire the palaces of aristocratic families, and learn about Saint Tryphon — the town’s patron saint — as you visit the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, the oldest active church on the Eastern Adriatic coast. We’ll also take time to appreciate other architectural and historical gems hidden within the Old Town.
Next, after boarding the boat, we'll set off on a sea journey through one of the most beautiful bays in the world! The Bay of Kotor is ranked among the top 20 most stunning coastal destinations on the planet — and you’re about to see why.
We’ll cruise along the scenic shoreline of the medieval town of Perast, admire the view of Saint George Island from the water, and then make a stop at the man-made islet of Our Lady of the Rocks (Gospa od Škrpjela).
For centuries, local sailors upheld a tradition of sinking old ships — including those seized from pirates — and throwing stones into the sea at this very spot. Over time, this created a stone plateau covering 3,030 square meters, upon which a breathtakingly beautiful church was built — Our Lady of the Rocks.
Our journey continues to Herceg Novi — a wonderfully cozy and welcoming town with a unique atmosphere of warmth, joy, and eternal spring. Locals lovingly call it “The City of Stairs.” Herceg Novi is famous for its incredible variety of blooming exotic trees, many of which were brought here by Boka Bay sea captains from distant lands.
Before docking in Herceg Novi, you’ll learn the most interesting facts about the town’s landmarks and special charm — nestled right at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor. Once we reach the port, you’ll have free time to explore the town at your own pace and soak in its unforgettable character and charisma.
After a pleasant stroll through Herceg Novi, we return to the boat and head toward the picturesque bay of Žanjice. On our way, we’ll pass by Mamula — a historic fortress island.
We’ll make a stop in the bay, where you’ll have the chance to fully enjoy the Adriatic by swimming right from the boat!
For a small additional fee, those interested can take a short ride in small boats to explore one of the area’s most famous natural wonders — the Blue Cave, where the waters of the Adriatic shine in unbelievably vivid colors and shades.
At the end of our sea journey, we’ll arrive in Tivat, where a bus will be waiting to take guests back to their hotels.
