Creamy coloured walls come regimented around Valletta. In Korcula, a toy town patchwork of houses runs to the very water’s edge. Zadar rallies Roman and Romanesque. You’ll marvel at the different personalities each of these ports exudes – some worldly, some undiscovered. Venice sports one of the world’s most famous waterfronts. Hidden at the heart of Slovenian Koper is a charming network of cobbled alleyways, while behind Diocletian’s towering palace walls in Split live families that have taken refuge here since the 7th century.

*At these ports you will be taken ashore by ship’s or local tender.
