Orient Express Sailing Yachts - Adriatic Sailing itinerary

Adriatic
   Coast

Valletta, Malta’s capital, is renowned as one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating cities. Depart from this gem to discover another equally breathtaking destination. After a day sailing the Ionian Sea, you’ll arrive in Otranto, the pearl of Salento, where the charm of a nearby Puglian village illuminated by twinkling lights will captivate you.
Your journey continues to Montenegro, guiding you through the Bay of Kotor and onward to Dubrovnik, where dinner overlooking its historic walls promises an unforgettable experience. The stunning views and azure waters of Hvar will further enrich your adventure.

As you meander through Rovinj’s scenic alleys at sunset, the end of your journey may seem near. Yet, the anticipation of arriving in Venice will undoubtedly make the conclusion even sweeter.

  • Departure from
    Valletta

    Valletta, Malta’s capital, is a gem of the Mediterranean. This UNESCO World Heritage site, although small, dazzles with each step. At the city gates, the modern Parliament building by Renzo Piano opens the door to history.

    Inside, discover St. John’s Co-Cathedral, adorned with the tombstones of 374 Knights of Malta and boasting a baroque interior. The Grandmaster’s Palace, Casa Rocca Piccola, and the Upper Barrakka Gardens are just a few of Valletta’s treasures.

    Everywhere you turn, Valletta reveals beauty and history, leaving you in awe of its rich heritage. In Valletta, you’re not just visiting a city; you’re stepping into a treasure chest of wonders.

    Otranto, a Gem by the Sea

    Welcome to Salento, the heel of Italy, where the enchanting town of Otranto stands as Italy’s easternmost city and one of its most captivating. Once Greek, then Roman, Otranto now blends historic fortifications with whitewashed houses overlooking turquoise waters.

    Pass through the massive Porta Terra and enter a perfectly preserved old town, where every street leads to the cathedral, home to one of the world’s largest mosaics—a Tree of Life composed of nearly 800,000 tiles. Other treasures include the Church of San Pietro, the Castle of Ferdinand, and the San Nicola di Casole Monastery ruins.

    By the time you leave, you’ll understand why Otranto is known as the pearl of the southern Adriatic.

    Dubrovnik, the Pearl of the Adriatic

    For some, Dubrovnik is the setting of Game of Thrones, but for many more, it’s the “Pearl of the Adriatic.” Dubrovnik’s sunlit, gleaming fortifications—among the best-preserved in Europe—feel like something out of a dream.

    Wander through the city’s medieval streets and admire the Assumption Cathedral, the Gothic-style Rector’s Palace, and the Dominican and Franciscan Monasteries. Walk along the Stradun, the main street, or visit Onofrio’s Fountain, which has provided mountain-fresh water for over 600 years.

    For adventurers, the blue Adriatic awaits. Set sail to nearby islands or explore the depths of the sea. Dubrovnik effortlessly merges fantasy and reality, captivating all who visit.

    Hvar, Queen of the Adriatic Islands

    Pronounced “roar” in Croatian, Hvar exudes a magnetic charm. Frequently ranked among the world’s most beautiful islands, Hvar is beloved by the elite, drawing visitors like Tom Cruise, Bill Gates, and Beyoncé.

    The town of Hvar centers around a cobblestone square with a 16th-century baroque cathedral, surrounded by cafés and terraces. Nearby, a 13th-century fortress offers stunning views over Hvar’s pristine beaches, white-tiled rooftops, and lavender-dotted hills.

    When you reach the island’s beaches, with waters so blue they seem to blend with the sky, you’ll understand why Hvar holds such allure. Here, nature’s beauty and timeless elegance come together, leaving an indelible impression.

    Rovinj, a hidden Gem in Istria

    Like many Croatian towns, Rovinj’s charm lies in its maze of winding alleys and gleaming cobblestone streets. However, with its pastel-colored facades and a history rooted in Venetian rule, Rovinj feels like a romantic blend of Italy and Croatia.

    Wander through its streets to see the iconic Balbi’s Arch, decorated with the winged lion of Venice, and marvel at the Church of St. Euphemia, crowned by Istria’s tallest bell tower at 61 meters. The Adriatic’s deep blue waters and Rovinj’s inviting beaches beckon for a swim.

    As the sun sets, the sky ignites in vibrant hues, offering one of the most breathtaking sunsets in the world—a fitting close to a day spent in Rovinj’s enchanting embrace.

    Venice La Serenissima

    Venice is a city that exists like no other—a floating wonder, crisscrossed by canals and steeped in history. You may think you know Venice—St. Mark’s Square, the Doge’s Palace, the gondolas gliding beneath the Bridge of Sighs—but the city has a way of surprising even seasoned visitors.

    Stroll through the medieval streets, visit the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, explore the vibrant Rialto market, or browse the unique shelves of the Acqua Alta bookstore. The Venice Film Festival, Carnival, and timeless beauty of La Fenice theater are just a few of the city’s many cultural gems.

    At nightfall, with only the soft murmur of voices, footsteps, and water lapping against stone, Venice becomes a dreamscape—one that invites you to lose yourself and discover hidden wonders at every turn.
