Voyage Itinerary

29 April to 2 May

Setting sail from Ljubljana

Ljubljana, Slovenia

3 May to 4 May

Italy: Venice

Venice is a city like no other, a marble maze of turquoise canals criss-crossed by beautiful bridges, overflowing with palaces, churches and charming little piazzas. No matter how many times you’ve seen it in photographs, that first glimpse of the Grand Canal will simply take your breath away.

5 May to 6 May

Italy: Chioggia

Situated on a small island at the southern entrance to the Venetian Lagoon, Chioggia is a pleasant fishing port that is sometimes described as a ‘miniature Venice’, complete with canals and some attractive historical architecture.

10 May

Croatia: Pula

Pula is a busy commercial port on the Istrian coast, best known for its impressive Roman remains. The imposing Roman amphitheatre in the centre of town is impossible to miss, and the Habsburg emperors also contributed some handsome architecture during the 19th century.

11 May

Bosnia and Herzegovina: Sarajevo

12 May

Bosnia and Herzegovina: Mostar

13 May to 14 May

Serbia: Belgrade

Belgrade has been invaded and occupied dozens of times over the centuries, a fact that's reflected in the mish-mash of architectural styles, from Ottoman and Art Nouveau to grim relics of the communist era. But Belgrade is also a city with real soul, emerging from a difficult recent history as one of Europe’s most exciting capitals.

15 May

Bulgaria: Sofia

16 May to 18 May

Arriving in Istanbul

Istanbul is the place where East meets West, where Asia Minor reaches out across the Bosphorus and almost touches Europe, and the city remains a bristling, bustling cultural melting pot, the skyline dotted with magnificent minarets and domes.

Don't miss

Tailor-make your trip

Ways to make it better
    • Four Seasons Sultanahmet, Istanbul

      Our recommended hotel in Istanbul

      We love the intimate Four Seasons at Sultanahmet, but – top Mundy tip! - it is so small that it’s often fully booked, so don’t hang about.

    • Hot air balloons over Cappadocia, Turkey

      See more of Turkey

      Take a few extra days and travel to Cappadocia for the extraordinary Star Wars scenery, rock caves and churches.

    How can we help?

    Our frequently asked questions

    From cruise tips to travel protection, here are some of our most-asked questions

    visit our faqs

    Will I save by booking with Mundy Cruising?

    Absolutely. You'll save money and time by booking with us rather than directly with the cruise line and enjoy more flexibility in your travel arrangements. We have access to preferential rates and exclusive offers, and we offer expert advice on how to get the best value.

    Can you help with pre and post-cruise arrangements?

    From flights and transfers to hotels and tours, we can help with all your travel needs to make sure your trip is exceptional. What's more, we are members of ABTA and also offer full ATOL protection, not to mention a 24hr emergency contact, so we offer complete peace of mind.

    What are the benefits of a small luxury ship?

    Because small ships are able to reach smaller ports of call and provide a higher level of service than their big ship counterparts, we believe that small ship cruising is the very best way to travel. Usually they offer more space per person, and an attentive team to make sure you have the very best experience. Small ship cruising offers the very best of the best.
