Embarking on an Adriatic cruise is one of the best ways to discover some of the most scenic sights in the Mediterranean. On a cruise through the region, holidaymakers can expect to see the picturesque Lake Bled, the iconic waterways of Venice and much else besides.

As an inlet in the Mediterranean, the Adriatic region boasts sunny climes in addition to being home to beautiful views. A cruise is the perfect way to explore the various famous cities and tranquil treasures that make this such a special area, all while enjoying luxurious travel.

One of the most beautiful sights on the cruises in the region is Slovenia's Lake Bled, a popular tourist destination located in the Julian Alps. Surrounded by mountains and dense, lush forests, the lake is the epitome of tranquil beauty.

Visitors can cruise down it in a traditional boat called a pletra, which will take them to Bled Island - a tiny islet located in the lake. While Bled Island is small, it is home to a beautiful church situated in its centre. After exploring, visitors can ring the wishing bell, something which is said to make wishes come true.

Countless photo opportunities are available both on the islet and from the lake itself, such as a medieval castle perched at its northern tip.

Lake Bled is not the only stunning destination holidaymakers can explore during an Adriatic cruise. The delightful Venice is just one of the other locations on offer, where visitors can learn about the famous city's history while taking a tour of the St Mark's region.

Here you will be able to see St Mark's square and its basilica, which is one of the most famous churches in the city, as well as the Bridge of Sighs.

You will also be able to visit the Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik in Croatia. Including a trip to see the Dubrovnik River and the splendid views it affords, visitors will also be able to explore the historic town, which features intriguing old architecture.

For tranquil, picturesque breaks, there is no better holiday than an Adriatic cruise. Here you will be able to experience the delights of the Mediterranean in the utmost comfort.
