Rab, a small ship exclusive port, is a picturesque island located in the northern Adriatic Sea, renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. The island's charm lies in its medieval old town, characterized by narrow cobblestone streets, ancient city walls, and Romanesque churches. Rab Town, the island's main settlement, is famous for its four distinctive bell towers, particularly the striking Bell Tower of the Cathedral of St. Mary. The island offers many beautiful beaches with sandy covers and crystal-clear waters. Visitors can enjoy various outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and water sports. The island's lush landscapes and pristine environment provide a perfect backdrop for nature enthusiasts.

No other sea approach in the Adriatic raises goose bumps like Venice, a small ship exclusive where the entire city and its lagoon are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On your luxurious home-away-from home, you arrive already equipped with a sense of what it's like to live in the city that's neither land nor water. Add your own sigh to the Bridge of Sighs, sip a spritz al bitter as you plot your agenda, and let the water taxis do your navigating unless you don't mind getting lost. Not such a bad prospect, with serendipitous discoveries around every corner.
