Cruise

Pack your bags and cruise into Croatia. With pristine blue waters and remarkable landscape, Dubrovnik is the perfect place to make your escape! Learn some history at the Maritime Museum and visit Rector’s Palace, known for its Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles of architecture. Don’t forget your camera as you walk on top of the city walls! The view is absolutely stunning! Cross over the famous Pile Gate and enter into Old Town, which was once surrounded by a moat. Finally, be sure to enjoy the scenic beaches and sample the delectable gelato!

RealTravel author Tracy writes:

“The next day we sail down to Dubrovnik, the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, and the most anticipated destination of our trip. Traveling to Dubrovnik by boat is much easier than by car since Bosnia crosses through Croatia dividing the country in half forcing drivers to go through immigration twice on their way to the famous walled city.

We dock in new harbor which is a 10-15 minute cab ride from Old Town. This is the only port where the action literally isn’t just outside our gang plank.

We set out to explore the city right after lunch. We enter through Pile Gate where St. Blaise looks down on all who enter. The first thing we see is Onofrio’s Fountain which is built in 1438 as part of water supply system. The water coming out of the fountain is cold and we stick our wrists under to cool off. Did I mention how hot it is here?” (more…)

RealTraveler Michelle Finkelstein shares a list of places to visit:

“An afternoon walk along the city walls is essential for unparalleled vistas and photo ops. Gaze across the clusters of traditional red rooftops and church spires, watching the women hanging wash high above narrow cobblestone alleys with children playing down below.

Within the city walls, visit Onofrio’s Fountains, one at each of the main gates, Pile and Ploce, erected in 1438 so people entering could wash to prevent bringing the Plague into this noble city.

Meander down Stradun, the main wide street, stopping for a gelato or souvenir shopping” (more…)

RealTraveler Traveling Nomad shares adventures off of the cruise ship:

“We hired a taxi driver who took us from the ship to the famous Jain Temple in Bombay which was an absolutely beautiful visit, surrounded by people who are so respective of life that they may tape their mouths shut so that they may not accidentally swallow an insect. The atmosphere, or energy is a better word, in the temple was really something to feel, brief as it was. Then we went to visit the Hanging Gardens, the main garden/park in Bombay. It is a misnomer because there are no actual hanging plants. The garden is constructed over the main water reservoir in Bombay which is why it is called “hanging”. The gardens were lovely and there were many whimsical topiaries, and people were playing tag and having picnics on the grass. It was really hot so we then went on to visit Gandhi’s home and museum. To see where he lived, sit in his library and see the books that he read, read his correspondence, and view the dioramas that depicted his life of nonviolent social protest was really very special. We ate at a restaurant that was recommended by someone on board ship and it was delicious” (more…)
