Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Skim across the glittering Bay of Kotor on a private luxury speedboat, gliding past baroque Perast to step inside the miraculous Our Lady of the Rocks island church. The bay's dramatic fjord-like walls, seen from the water, are among Europe's most arresting panoramas.
Scale 1,350 ancient steps to St. John's Fortress for jaw-dropping panoramas over the entire bay, then wind through UNESCO-listed Kotor Old Town with a private licensed historian. Medieval walls, hidden piazzas, and the 12th-century Cathedral of St. Tryphon await.
Plunge into the electric-blue waters of Montenegro's legendary Blue Cave, then snorkel secret grottos and secluded pebble coves inaccessible by any road. This is the Bay of Kotor's most photogenic bucket-list adventure, done in total privacy.
Ascend the serpentine Lovćen mountain road to the dizzying Njegoš Mausoleum at 1,657 m, then descend to Cetinje, Montenegro's royal capital, for a private tour of its palaces and monasteries. An inland journey of staggering grandeur.
Soar above Kotor's medieval rooftops on the recently restored official cable car, rising to a panoramic plateau with sweeping views across the entire Bay of Kotor. A swift, breathtaking ascent to one of the Adriatic's finest viewpoints.
Spend a full day sailing the entire sweep of Boka Kotorska — Europe's southernmost fjord — aboard a handsome 3-deck vessel with a professional guide, a sundeck, and an onboard restaurant. Visit Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks, and a secluded swim stop.
