Adventures on Small Ships in Slovenia
Family cruise vacations are memorable and beautiful.
Why not enjoy the picturesque and luxurious Slovenian Coast
on a small cruise?
The versatility and compactness of Slovenia are two of the things I like the best. Monday I am hiking in the Slovenian mountains or rafting down the Sava Dolinka and then on Tuesday I am taking in the colourful landscape along with the sun's rays painting the sea and the sky.
An enjoyable destination is the coast around the well-known Gulf of Trieste, at the northern part of the Adriatic Sea. from half-day up to 8-day cruisesFamily Cruise vacations in Slovenia are basically small ship adventures, beginning with the panorama half-day tour, which starts with Portoroz - ideally for families with small children. The Adriatic Cruise on the other hand could last for as much as 8 days. PANORAMA CRUISE departing Portoroz for a Half-DayThe Panorama cruise will include the slovenian coastal towns Portoroz, Piran and Izola.
Since the 13th century, Portoroz has been famous for being a health resort. Now it is proud of its restaurants, sport centres, fancy hotels, boutiques, gorgeous landscape, and top quality standards for tourism.
Piran happens to be an attractive and pleasant small town, wedged in the middle of the sea and the walls of the town, which in years gone by have been protection for it from sieges by land.
Izola is a very old fishing village built with the normal Mediterranean-flavor architecture, located on a peninsula. Within its narrow streets you will discover great taverns selling the local wines and fish.
Panorama Cruise - Length of time: half a day. This includes a boat ride and a guide who speaks English.
