Join SBMA and art historian Eric Frank aboard the intimate 18-cabin Queen Eleganza for a cruise along the spectacular Adriatic coast. Begin with a hotel night in the magnificent walled city of Dubrovnik, Croatia before embarking on a 7-night cruise. Cruise the Croatian coast from Dubrovnik to Zadar, calling at Mljet, Korčula, Hvar, Split and Trogir. After disembarking the ship, travel by motorcoach to walk amongst the waterfalls at the remarkable Plitvice Lakes National Park, spend two nights at a hotel in Slovenia’s captivating capital city, Ljubljana, and visit the stunning and magical Lake Bled.

The yacht-like Queen Eleganza, launched in 2018, was crafted specifically to cruise the Adriatic coastline. She features a casual ambiance, the ability to call at small, inviting islands and ports not accessible to large cruise ships, and easy walk-off access to explore independently. The 18 cabins are finished to high standards with sleek lines and neutral colors. The bar/restaurant and lounge boast comfortable seating areas, large windows, and complimentary tea/coffee. Meals are served in a single seating and feature fresh Mediterranean cuisine. The atmosphere is intimate and casual. 

The program is limited to 28 participants including travelers from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia. Most of the time, touring will be done in two smaller groups.
