"Leaozinho" Pirate Ship Cruise

Find a comfortable seating place in the mid-deck or the shade of the aft deck as you commence your cruise from the new marina of Albufeira. You have the choice of a half day cruise visiting the caves on the spectacular Algarve coastline or a 2-hour Captain Hook cruise. On both itineraries it is possible to view dolphins from the boat or even take a swim!

Cruise into the Atlantic, as the sails are set as you head westward along the cliffs and sandy beaches of San Rafael, Castelo and Praia da Gale. Pass the fisherman's village of Armacao de Pera, the rock chapel Senhora da Rocha and reach the beaches of Marina and Benagil.

You will stop for free time to try your hand at fishing, visit the caves or have a swim in the warm, clear water. You may prefer to relax on deck with a drink from the "Pirate Bar" which offers a variety of beverages (beer, water and soft drinks). Returning to the Albufeira, keep your eyes open on the lookout for dolphins which will sometimes swim near to the boat.

Dubrovnik Panorama: Old Town, Dominican Monastery, Cathedral



See Dubrovnik arrayed in all it’s historical splendor in this tour through the slender streets and along the menacing ramparts of this UNESCO World Heritage city.

Dubrovnik’s massively impressive city walls are a reminder of a less peaceful age, while its churches, bell towers, and palaces have all been beautifully protected from the ravages of time.

Tour the spectacular Dominican Monastery, originally built outside the city as a place for defense as well as devotion.

Walk through the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary—a masterwork of stone adorned on the inside with priceless Venetian paintings—perhaps the most iconic sight in Dubrovnik.

Road to Mostar: Neum, Polcitelj, Metkovic



Follow Croatia’s stunning Adriatic coastline across the border to Bosnia and Herzegovina, where nature’s genius and history’s ruins are on full display.

The town of Neum is the only coastal bastion in a mostly landlocked country, blessed with clear waters, sprawling wilderness, and ethereal views of mountains.

Visit the largest city in the agricultural heartland of the Neretva Delta and climb up the old stone steps in the ghostly town of Pocitelj, once a medieval center of administration.

Travel to the proud city of Mostar and traverse the great 16th century bridge for which the city is named.

Sightseeing Tour of Dubrovnik: Franciscan Monastery, Dominican Monastery



Tour the medieval town center of Dubrovnik, the “Pearl of the Adriatic.”

A major maritime power from the 13th century onwards, Dubrovnik abounds with cultural and historical treasures.

Visit the Dominican and Franciscan Monasteries, two of Europe’s most impressive churches.

The Dominican Monastery is an exemplary monument to the Gothic tradition, and houses Europe’s third oldest pharmacy.

Its Franciscan counterpart dates back to the early 13th century, and has miraculously weathered the sieges and earthquakes of ages.
