It is for this reason that Venice is the city of lovers and of those in love with the sea. If all the roads lead to Rome, then, all the seas lead to the City on the lagoon: be it dusk or dawn, end or begining of a journey – Venice calls!

With just 31 outside cabins, the yacht-like Monet is the perfect size for calling at the small island ports and coastal towns of Dalmatia. With her shallow draft, Monet docks in places not available to larger ships. Guests enjoy friendly, professional service from our Croatian crew, excellent cuisine, educational shore excursions, and all the amenities that you would expect to find aboard such an elegant, small ship.

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.

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 and Pula respectively offer some of the best preserved Roman edifices in existence: the massive Diocletian’s Palace and 20,000—seat amphitheater designed to host gladiatorial contests.
