L2635 - Itinerary Update - Scenic Gems of Croatia with the Bay of Kotor
Whether your joining us for our whole Exploration of the Mediterranean voyage, fly cruising for the Scenic Gems of Croatia with the Bay of Kotor cruise (Cruise Code L2635), or on back to back cruises, we wanted to let you know about a change to our itinerary.
The change is specific when we'll sailing between Malta and Heraklion, shown as cruise code L2635 online and in our brochure - Scenic Gems of Croatia with the Bay of Kotor.
Why are you making changes?
Sadly, the the Dubrovnik Port
Authority have had to amend the date of our call, which means we’ve needed to
make some thoughtful adjustments to our itinerary.
What’s changing?
Our new confirmed date for the
beautiful city of Dubrovnik is the 26th October.
The change to our call in Dubrovnik means we’re no longer
able to visit Zadar, however, we’re pleased to let you know that we’ll now be calling
at Brindisi, on the south coast of Italy. You’ll find the full revised
itinerary on the table below.
We understand some Guests may feel disappointed by this
change however, Brindisi is a beautiful, historic port with a fascinating story
to tell. She briefly became Italy’s capital during the Second World War and
played an important role throughout the Roman Empire. With so much history to
explore, along with welcoming cafés, interesting shops and lovely coastal
scenery, it promises to be a fantastic day ashore.
