The amazingly exciting Adriatic Sea lies between the Balkan peninsula and the Italian peninsula, and a chain of islands fringes the sea surface. It is the high and mountainous coastlines plus the depths of the Adriatic that make the physiography of the area indeed unique and worth exploring.

Although there are plenty of Adriatic small ship cruises, one can look for a truly exceptional sea voyage with the PONANT ships.  Get ready to explore Adriatic on one of their compact cruise yachts that are innovatively designed to offer you the right blend of comfort and traditional authenticity. Explore the rugged coastline of Dalmatia and visit the majestic citadels of Split and Dubrovnik. It is time to discover the hidden marvels of the Adriatic with one of the luxury cruise Ponant ships.

 Check out Adriatic weather before sailing


As the Adriatic weather can be unpredictable, one has to be careful. The sea is well noted for its periods of thunderstorms and tornados that can be particularly violent. There are serious threats to navigation due to the very strong Bora Wind along the mountainsides of Croatia. As there is always a high level of uncertainty due to pressure differentials in the winds and high terrain, it is a must to check out the weather on the Adriatic Sea.

The best time to sail in the Adriatic Sea


The typical cruising season starts at Easter and peaks mid-July when one sees a horde of yachts of all shapes and sizes enter along the Adriatic coasts. There are huge motorboats as well as small motorboats with their skiers and ski boats. September and October are the quietest months.
