About this trip
Join John and Mitchi Dragonette of Dragonette Cellars on the perfect sailing from Dubrovnik to Rome on the magnificent Kaia, a 128-passenger yaucht launched by Emerald Cruises in 2026.. Experience sun-drenched coastlines, striking architecture, ancient ruins, and a medley of cultures and cuisines on this 10 day/9 night cruise that combines the beauty of Croatia, Greece and Italy in one fascinating itinerary.
Your journey starts in the remarkable city of Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is also known as the Pearl of the Adriatic. You will then cruise to Split, where you’ll discover the majestic Diocletian’s Palace and soak up the lively atmosphere of this coastal city. Your last port in Croatia is the vibrant island of Hvar, a destination known for its lavender fields, charming old town, and lively nightlife.
Next, you’ll head to Italy to Monopoli in the largely undiscovered region of Puglia. Here, you can spend time exploring its historic sites or on its striking pebbly beaches.
Cruising among the stunning Greek isles, you will stop in the picturesque port of Corfu in the Ionian Sea, where lush greenery and rich history await. Then it’s back to Italy, to the enigmatic Italian island of Sicily, where the resort town of Taormina is set to the backdrop of Mt Etna. Retuning to Italy’s mainland, you’ll loop around to the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, where dramatic cliffs meet azure seas, and colourful villages cling to the hillsides.
Your memorable journey concludes in Civitavecchia, the gateway to Rome, where history and modernity collide.
