Two weeks from Pula on 5 June 2027: see the prices
Northern Adriatic explorer flotilla, June 2027
Join us for a unique two-week flotilla in the Northern Adriatic, from Pula in Croatia across to Venice, then back through the islands to the south of Pula.
Following on from a successful trip in 2026, we embark on our explorer flotilla in the Northern Adriatic, starting from Pula in Croatia and heading across to Venice, a destination that needs no introduction.
Pula is known for its well-preserved Roman amphitheatre, and the old town has plenty of cobbled streets, revealing some lovely restaurants, or konobas, that showcase Adriatic cuisine, with a focus on the abundance of fresh seafood.
From here we journey north along the Croatian coast to Novigrad, with a couple of shorter sailing days to shake out the reefs and get our crews ready for the passage to Venice. An early start from Novigrad sees us head west across the Adriatic to Cavallino, just north of Venice, where we spend a couple of days, with a non-sailing day to explore Venice itself. After some time ashore we journey south, past Venice, to Chioggia for another taste of Italy, before heading east to explore the islands to the south of Pula.
Explorer itinerary
Two weeks from Pula: north along the Istrian coast, across the Adriatic to Venice and Chioggia, then back to Croatia and south through the islands of Lošinj, Ilovik, Silba and Susak. Full details of each day are below.

















Explorer flotilla routes may vary according to weather and operating conditions. However, our flotilla crew will keep you fully briefed each day.
The Northern Adriatic, the shallowest part of the Adriatic Sea, stretches between Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. Its calm waters and sandy seabed have shaped coastal life for centuries, supporting fishing, trade and tourism.
Our starting pointKnown for its well-preserved Roman amphitheatre, with cobbled streets and konobas serving fresh Adriatic seafood.
IstriaPastel houses stacked around a hilltop church, with clear water and sheltered anchorages nearby.
IstriaA classical Istrian town wrapped by medieval walls and calm waters.
Across the AdriaticA non-sailing day to enjoy the sights, sounds and flavours of this iconic destination, from our berth at Cavallino.
ItalyJust south of Venice, for another taste of Italy.
The islandsOur most southerly islands, from a mooring on the west of Lošinj to peaceful little Silba.
The region’s unique mix of fresh water from rivers like the Po and salt water from the Mediterranean creates rich ecosystems, home to diverse marine species and wetlands. Historic ports such as Venice, Trieste and Rijeka grew prosperous along its shores, and today the Northern Adriatic balances economic activity with environmental protection, preserving its cultural heritage and natural beauty.
The weather in June is warm and predictable, with typical daytime temperatures in the high 20s and slightly cooler evenings. Wind strength is typically force 3 to 5, although you should be prepared for stiffer breezes on our open-water passages.
The water temperature is perfect for a refreshing dip once the sailing is done.
