Description
Join us as we discover the beauty and wonders of the Adriatic, a captivating region that offers a delightful combination of lovely scenery and fascinating history. Our autumn cruise includes some charming places in both Italy and Croatia and over the course of ten days we will immerse ourselves in the region’s rich heritage and musical diversity. October is, of course, a lovely time in the Mediterranean when comfortable temperatures and uncrowded resorts make for a most enjoyable trip.
Our journey begins in Puglia, the heel of Italy, from where we make our way along the Adriatic coast of Italy and across to Croatia. We will call into cities and towns, learning of their intriguing history from our informative local guides and we also have the opportunity to experience a variety of glorious music at a selection of unique venues. From Vivaldi to Rossini, our musical programme will include great works from the early music to the golden age of opera and where better to listen to such inspiring works than in the places they were written or performed.
A highlight for many will be our two full days in Venice where we learn of the influence La Serenissima exerted over the region in bygone days and enjoy an exclusive private concert of Vivaldi themed music.
With just 95 like-minded fellow passengers and the MS Serenissima as our base, by the end of the voyage you will have seen and learnt so much about the fascinating musical legacy of the region. To complement our journey further, we have the expertise and knowledge of Guest Speaker Philip Blake-Jones who will be joining us on board.
