During your stay aboard the Monet, you'll see exquisite scenery, enjoy folkloric performances and view the wonders of centuries past. There'll be time to wander the cobbled streets of walled medieval towns, browse through attractive shops and swim in the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. From the legendary Renaissance splendors of Venice -- "the Queen of the Adriatic" -- to the medieval walled city of Dubrovnik -- "the Pearl of the Adriatic" -- you'll discover several millennia of history along the shores of this incredible azure sea. The Dalmatian coast alone has over 1,000 islands basking in the sun that, along with the coastal cities of Croatia, offer a wealth of art and architecture. Korcula contains reminders of the rule of the Venetians, while Split offers one of the best preserved Roman edifices in existence: the massive Diocletian's Palace. In Zadar, step ashore and visit the exceptional Museum of Church Art or the Archaeological Museum.
