Sea Cloud II adriatic golf cruiseseptember 30–october 12, 2018

LONG AN IMPORTANT THOROUGHFARE between different cultures, the Adriatic Sea borders countries offering a splendid mix of challenging golf, dramatic landscapes and top-quality food and wine. Our journey begins at the charming Hotel L’Albereta, nestled in the rolling countryside of Franciacorta, between the Italian Alps and Lake Iseo. This Relais & Châteaux property, with its airy Provençal décor featuring period frescoes, appears on many lists of top hotels in Italy. We dine privately at the onsite restaurant and play some of Italy’s f inest golf courses nearby, including the Jack Nicklaus II designed Arzaga Golf Club.

We board the majestic Sea Cloud II in Venice, one of the world’s most romantic cities, where great voyages have started for centuries. Sea Cloud II is a ship that captures the timeless elegance of sailing history and combines it with modern service and accommodations. Privately chartered for this voyage, the ship provides a relaxing and gracious home away from home. With her spacious staterooms, elegant dining, f itness center and ample open deck areas, Sea Cloud II offers cruising at its f inest. Once on board, we journey effortlessly, leaving the uncertainties of land travel behind.

Across the Adriatic, we explore the Dalmatian Coast, with idyllic sheltered bays and some of the most dramatic landscapes in Europe. A visit to Dubrovnik highlights our voyage. After sailing through the Adriatic, with visits to Kotor and Italy’s Puglia region, we make a grand return to the Venice lagoon and its famed duomos and basilicas. Venice, “The Queen of the Adriatic,” provides f itting bookends to our journey.

Whether you are touring historic villages with our experienced guides, shopping or exploring on your own in Venice or sampling regional olive oils, you will experience unsurpassed personal attention, returning from your journey with new and enriched friendships and memories of a captivating experience.
