On board is a gym and additional amenities like paddleboards, kayaks and self-propelled SEABOBs, which make it easy to explore warm waters when the ship drops anchor in secluded harbours. Adriatic New Waves While these ocean vessels in Emerald's port- folio were designed for the warm waters of the Mediterranean and Caribbean, offering sea seekers plenty of R+R and soothing well- ness time as they chillax on their private balconies, the luxury yacht set are now aiming their binoculars towards the Adriatic and the tony Dalmatian Coast, Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. For this luxe Dalmatian Coast sail, start in Venice, Italy. The temptation is strong so consider a two-day pre-tour of the historic floating city. Now you're set for this coastal cruise. Experience the allure of the "Golden Island" of Krk, renowned for its beaches and nature. Step back in time as you explore Dio- cletian's Palace in Split. Lose yourself among the cobblestone streets, medieval squares and churches of Korčula. And end your voyage in enchanting Dubrovnik, gazing upon the Adriatic Sea from these ancient ramparts. With more time, you can make your way down the coast stopping at Kotor, Montenegro where Venetian influence is everywhere.
