Every destination on this cruise has historical significance in shaping the Balkans as we know it today, with ancient structures, ruins and archaeological finds all telling the story of how various empires battled for control of the region, and the influence they had upon this.

Other highlights include the chance to explore Dubrovnik?s UNESCO-listed Old Town, protected by the centuries-old city walls, or a visit to the ruins of Diocletian?s Palace, found in the heart of Split," he added.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines will release its entire 2022/23 programme for its new-look fleet in March, 2021.
