June and July 2012
Featuring Guest Speaker General Wesley Clark (ret.)
Venice, The Dalmatian Coast, Dubrovnik
Cruising aboard the Deluxe Small Ship m.s. L'Austral
Along the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, splendid walled cities, unspoiled picture-perfect islands and pristine blue waters beckon visitors to explore the stunning region of Dalmatia. A virtual crossroads of Roman, Byzantine, Venetian and Slavic civilizations, the distinctive deep-rooted cultures of this storied land have flourished for more than two thousand years.
We invite you to join us for this exclusive seven-night, round-trip Venice cruise featuring four countries—Italy, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro—and six UNESCO World Heritage sites.
By special arrangement, General Wesley Clark (ret.), former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, will join you for a portion of the cruise to discuss the Kosovo War during two exclusive onboard lectures.
Cruise aboard the deluxe m.s. L'Austral, a new generation of Small Ship design and technology featuring only 120 staterooms. Dock in ports of call unavailable to larger ships—Sibenik, Split, Hvar, Korcula, Ploce (for Mostar or Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina), Pula and Rovinj; Kotor, Montenegro—and the larger port city of Dubrovnik.
Among the many Cultural Enrichments included, you are sure to enjoy the exclusive Village Forum™, where Puljani (residents of Pula) will share with you their personal insights about past and contemporary life in the ancient Roman colony. There will be an introduction to simple Croatian phrases and their pronunciation; even using a few can make your interaction with local residents that much more enjoyable.
Venice Pre- and Post-Cruise Options are also offered to more leisurely explore yet another important UNESCO World Heritage site.
This popular program is an exceptional value with all accommodations and meals included, and you need to unpack only once! Won't you join us? Past offerings have quickly sold out, so I encourage you to reserve now.
