About the trip
This 21-night cruise on Balmoral sets sail from Alicante, taking in a varied route around the western Mediterranean and the Adriatic. After a stop in Mahon on Menorca, the itinerary moves to Italy with calls in Savona and La Spezia, gateways to Ligurian towns and the Cinque Terre. The ship also visits Bastia and Propriano on Corsica, offering a chance to see a different French island coast.
Passing along the Amalfi Coast and the Maratea coast by sea, the cruise touches Salerno, then continues past active Stromboli and through the narrow Strait of Messina. Malta’s capital Valletta provides a mix of history and stone-barred streets. It then ventures to Croatian ports including Split and Dubrovnik, plus the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro.
Among the finer details are cruising the dramatic Dalmatian coastline and seeing Corfu’s shores before disembarking back at Alicante. The naval history and layered cultures encountered en route give a strong sense of the Mediterranean’s breadth, while Balmoral’s navigating the narrower waterways is an appealing practical detail for those who’ve passed only larger ports.
