Explore the iconic sites of Croatia and Italy on a handcrafted small ship sailing with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines in 2022

Set sail to the lands of the Adriatic and uncover the treasures of Croatia, Italy and beyond with a brand new cruise to be released from Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines 2022 programme tomorrow (Friday, 12thFebruary).

Small ship Braemarwill set sail on this 27-night Adriatic adventure in October 2022, designed to showcase the well-celebrated icons and many hidden gems that Croatia and Italy have to offer, from architectural delights to natural showstoppers, plus scenic cruising aplenty.

Martin Lister, Head of Destination Experience and Itinerary Planning at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said:

“The Adriatic is a real treasure, rich in history and culture all ready to be explored. From the walled cities of Split and Dubrovnik and the fortress city of Kotor to the canals of Venice and Chioggia, there are many tales to be unravelled.

“Architecture aside, there are also many natural wonders to be enthralled by, from the cascading Skradinski Buk Waterfall of Croatia’s Krka National Park, just a stone’s through from Sibenik, to scenic cruising by Stromboli, a still-active volcano which juts from the Mediterranean, and of the fjord-like Bay of Kotor in Montenegro.

“What makes this cruise even more exciting is that so much of it is made possible by Braemar’s smaller size, allowing us to sail much closer to the heart of these incredible destinations and visit places that would otherwise not be accessible.”

Details of this sailing are as follows:

Braemar’s 27-night M2230 ‘Discovering the Adriatic’ cruise, departing from Southampton on 23rdOctober 2022. Prices start from £4,199 per person.

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines

At Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines we are very proud of our smaller ships – Bolette, Borealis and Balmoral - and the imaginative and unusual itineraries they allow us to offer. Every cruise is hand-crafted from scratch by our team of in-house Journey Planners to make sure you are not only visiting the best destinations, but at the best time to experience them.

For us, it’s not just about where we go but how we take you there. We put as much time into planning scenic cruising as we do in choosing the destinations themselves. On board, our Signature Experiences showcase the history, culture, nature and flavours of the destinations you’ll visit – from Treats of the Region, where you can enjoy local delicacies, to our Sky at Sea star-gazing sessions where you can relax with a hot toddy out on deck while our astronomer talks you through the night sky.

Plus, with each ship carrying 1,300 guests or less, our ships are small enough for us to offer a warm, friendly and personal service where nothing is ever too much trouble, as we visit a host of exciting ports in every corner of the globe.
