The cruise ships dock in the center of Warnemunde and is only 300 meters from the train station and city center. From there on one can travel to Rostock (20 min) and Berlin (a 2 and a half hour trip) Train schedules. The terminal can accommodate 3 cruise liners at a time. If all occupied, ships dock at the main commercial piers of Rostock at Seehafen on the other side of the river.

Getting to Berlin under your own steam in one day isn't practical, since trains run on specific schedules that may conflict with your ship's time table. Shore excursions use charter trains or coaches, so that is the best way to reach the capital.

Sightseeing:

Being a center of maritime traffic, the district of Warnemünde comprises numerous navigational aids, the oldest is the lighthouse, which is currently still in use. The lighthouse was built in 1897. In the summer, the tower, approximately 37 meters (121 ft) high, allows visitors to enjoy an impressive view over the Baltic Sea and the northern districts of Rostock. The nearby Teepott (Teapot) with its slightly curved roof, the resort’s second famous landmark, is an interesting example of East German (DDR) architecture. Built in the 1960s and renovated in 2002, it today houses different restaurants and a sea voyage exhibition.

Warnemünde's acres of fine sand makes a sure fire hit as a holiday resort and this is where the ship docks. So if your ambition is no more than a touch of sunbathing and a stroll around the resort then all that is very close by.

Yachts at anchor, a jumble of fishing boats, sea, cafes and bars, not forgetting the famous teapot, and a pier all lend character to this small but charming resort.

Tours Excursions Transportation:

Trains to Rostock leave about every 10 minutes for Rostock Hauptbahnhof. The train trip is less than 20 minutes, tickets are 1.80 Euro one way, which includes the tram in Rostock. Once you arrive at Rostock Main station, go two levels down and take either tram 5 or 6 to Neuer Markt and you are in the center of this charming town.

You can also buy a day ticket 4.60 Euro, which allows you to travel on all modes of travel, even ferries, in the municipal area of Rostock.

There are HOHO buses in Warnemunde to Rostock but both cities are so compact it is not necessary. Also the intervals are 2 to 3 hours apart. Everything is within easy walking distance once you are in the center.

It pays to compare your cruise line tours here .

Nearby Places:

Rostock town center is relatively compact so it is fairly easy to take in a number of sites within the course of a day. The place to start is St Peter's Church (St Petrikirche) in the oldest part of the city in the east. It started life as a wooden church in the 13th century but was followed by a brick Gothic construction with an 117m (380ft) tower which served as a landmark for sailors for centuries. Air raids destroyed the tower and part of the church in 1942. After a long wait of 52 years, the tower was rebuilt to a height of 125m (410ft) this time with a modern lift so visitors can ascend to a viewing floor.

You can also take a train from Warnemunde to Lubeck , with a change in Rostock. Lubeck is a delightful old city to visit. Trains run quite frequently.

Visit Schwerin, about an hour away. You can purchase a Mecklernburg-Vorpommern Ticket 1st person €20 + €3 for each additional person up to maximum 5 people. It is valid from 9 a.m. on weekdays and the whole day on weekends for regional trains (RE or RB) and suburban trains (S).

Warnemünde – A Cruise Port Guide

Warnemünde, on the mouth of the river Warnow is a both a busy port and an elegant ‘fin de siecle’ seaside town. Warnemünde increasingly features on the Baltic Cruise circuit and its large modern terminal, which has two berths, is home port for AIDAdiva and AIDAmar. The entrance to the harbour is guarded by a new lighthouse – it is a very deep channel but it does look a dramatically tight entrance, especially from the shore!

The port of Warnemünde is labelled as ‘for’ Berlin which is a little misleading as is is quite some distance away (240km or 3 to 4 hours on a train to be precise!) and this is one of those situations where we would probably suggest that you use a ships tour to visit unless you are a very confident traveller. German trains are generally exceptionally reliable and, as Warnemünde is it’s are generally a little longer than normal to allow for travel to Berlin, it would be possible to DIY the day but the downside is that the next day or two will probably be sea days and then home to Southampton so if you miss the boat your holiday will be over! If you are based in the UK a weekend trip to Berlin will be less stressful than a DIY day from the ship and probably much cheaper than a ships tour to Berlin for two! (Funnily enough the same applies to the other major German port, Hamburg – basically Berlin is a long way inland!) There is a lot to do local to Warnemunde – so consider spending the day locally – I think you’ll have fun!

Warnemünde was originally the fishing port for its larger, more prosperous neighbour – the city of Rostock. Strategically placed upriver to be more easily defended from attack, Rostock is the largest city in the German Federal state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is the academic, cultural and economic centre of the state with over 200,000 inhabitants. It is a Medieval town, founded in 1218, with a long history as a Hanseatic port and harbour. The Hanseatic League was effectively the worlds earliest trading association – you can still see Hanseatic warehouses on various cruise stops around Northern Europe ( Hamburg, Riga, Bruges, Tallin and Bergen) and these Hansa cities effectively ruled the Baltic from the 1200s until the 30 Years War in 1618. The strategic location of Rostock made it strategically important and over the years it was occupied by the Danish, the Swedes, the French under Napoleon and the Prussians under Peter the Great. It was the largest port in East Germany and for some time was a popular cruise port itself.

Rostock is home to cruise company AIDA Cruises and their ships are home-ported at Warnemünde. Nowadays although some smaller ships still travel upriver to Rostock the majority of cruise moor at the Warnemünde Cruise terminal. The two towns are quite different and it is perfectly possible to visit both quite comfortably in one day.

Lets start with Warnemünde where you will almost certainly be berthed at the Cruise Terminal , opened in 2005 it is a large two-storey steel and glass terminal with all the usual facilities for passengers. It is probably one of the most convenient and pleasant terminals for a stopover because of its exceptionally good position. The terminal is only 300 m from the local railway station and not much further from the town of Warnemünde itself so it is very easy to explore. It is worth mentioning here that English isn’t very widely spoken in the area so a translation app or book might come in handy. If you turn away from the town and walk through the underpass beneath the railway (towards the water) you will reach the Pier 7. The local ferry travels to Rostock from here every half hour or so. You can purchase a days travel pass for the local public transport system for 5€ with further reductions for groups. From the Station trains go to Rostock every 10 minutes or so. It is a twenty minute train journey to Rostock Hbf which is actually on the outskirts of town. From the station it is a short tram ride to Neuer Markt – the town centre. We took a nice round trip going into Rostock by ferry, walking back down through the town, taking a tram to the station and return to Warnemünde by train (you could do the opposite!).

Warnemünde town is a short level walk from the ship – you can pick up a walking map of the town at the cruise terminal or railway station. Although quite small in comparison to Rostock with a population of only about 35,000, it is both a busy fishing port and a seaside town.

The town surrounding the old fishing port expanded at the end of the 18th century as tourists discovered the towns beautiful long sandy beach and dramatic sand dunes. The grand 18th Century architecture of its casino, hotels and spas contrasts with that of the ancient timber framed fishermen’s cottages and the captains houses which sit overlooking the river and the new marina on the Alte Strom.

Warnemünde Church built in the 1860s has strong evidence of its maritime links with a lovely carved wooden statue of St Christopher and a fleet of small model sailing ships hanging from the ceiling. Warnemunde is a very popular seaside resort, you can hire bikes and ride for miles along the flat sea front.

Architectural highlights include the UNESCO World Heritage Site at the Warnemünde Lighthouse and the Teapot which is an unusually shaped shaped building situated directly on the beach, containing bars and restaurants. The old lighthouse was first constructed in 1836 and restored in 1898, there are great views over the coast and the port from the top of its 36m high spiral staircase. The beach is wide and sandy with high dunes – quick warning, part of it is a naturist area!

Excellent restaurants and bars line the habourside area and the path continues right out to the Port ( green) entrance lighthouse which can be quite a bracing walk! Warnemünde is a popular sailing town with a popular weeklong regatta in July each year. The renowned Norwegian expressionist painter and graphic artist Edvard Munch (1863 – 1944) spent eighteen months in Warnemünde from summer 1907 and his former home is now used as part of a cultural exchange scheme for visiting Norwegian artists. Although not generally open to the public it sometimes holds exhibitions and events when you are able to see inside.

The medieval city of Rostock is 13km up the Warnow river from Warnemunde. It dates from 1218 when its main exports were ships, beer and fish and its position as an important port in the Hanseatic League ensured the cities wealth. Ship building flourished on the banks of the river and in the early 20th century Rostock became famous for aircraft manufacture; the Heinkel factory produced planes for the Luftwaffe in the 1930s. Rostock was East Germanys principal ocean port but since Reunification at the end of the 20th century has declined in importance in comparison to Hamburg. If your cruise arrives in August you may catch the annual Hanse Sail Rostock in August, when upwards of 200 Tall Ships and other classic sailing boats arrive for four days of regattas, fireworks and markets.

Rostock is also northern Germany’s oldest university town, it has an excellent reputation both academically and as a centre for performing arts.Although some of the city’s older buildings were destroyed by Allied bombing in World War II, the grand marketplaces, bridges, city ramparts and gates have been restored and newer buildings are still designed with the traditional Hanseatic red brick, stepped gables.

The lively pedestrian zone of Kropeliner Strasse is lined with shops, restaurants and bakeries and is a nice place to walk, at its far end you will find the remains of the old city wall some of which is still walk-able and next to it the peaceful Wallangen park, a good spot for a picnic. At the end of the main Plaza you will find a large fountain – celebrating Zest for Life – and the beautiful 600 year old facade of Rostock University, founded in 1419 it is one of the oldest universities in the world. Also close to Wallangen park, tucked down behind the old city wall is the Cultural History Museum which displays various paintings, relics, crafts & artifacts in a converted 13th-century monastery on Klosterhof, various art and craft galleries cluster nearby.

At the opposite end of town you will find the 13th century Petrikirche (St. Peter’s Church) which unbelievably was once the tallest building in the world, although post war restoration has left it shorter than it used to be! The steeple is now 335 feet high and its viewing platform can be accessed by climbing 196 steps or you can cover the 12 stories in a lift. Also nearby is Marienkirche (St. Mary’s Church), built in 1230 – definitely worth a visit to see its intricate astronomical clock and the beautiful model boats that hang from the ceiling.

The midway ferry stop between between Rostock and Warnemünde (or accessible by bus) is the IGA park , which was built in 2003 for the 17th World Horticultural Exposition. The park was created on the banks of the river, in a derelict area around the ruins of the village of Schmar. Many cultural events are held here and It also houses a Maritime Museum housed in an old merchant ship as well as a spacious park with playgrounds, landscaped gardens & sporting facilities. Rostock has a large Zoo with many animals including elephants, jaguars, gorillas and polar bears, it is slightly outside the city on the other side of the woodland park Barnstorfer Anlagen .

‘For’ Berlin?

As I mentioned Warnemünde is usually labelled ‘for’ Berlin which is a trip that I really wouldn’t advise but because of that stops here are generally a little longer than normal to allow for extended travel times, so there are other things that you can do a bit further afield than you might normally consider…

Bad Doberan is worth a visit – it is accessible by taxi, bus or train , the drive takes 30 minutes or it is about an hour by train. The town is lovely but the ‘Molli” train which leaves from here is great fun! It travels through the streets of the town and then out across fields and open countryside to the seaside resort of Bad Kühlungsborn. Opened in 1886, the Molli is apparently the worlds oldest narrow gauge steam train and a regular train service runs every hour during the summer and every 2 hours during the winter. It is all delightfully old fashioned, with hand operated level crossings and traffic giving way to the train as it travels down the centre of the main street in town! There are currently five trains that date from 1886 to 1932 and although the oldest carriages are now ‘retired’ the newer ones still feature hard wooden seats, if you are offered the option of an upgrade to a ‘Salon’ coach with upholstered leather seats it will be worth it! There is a nice restaurant at the Kühlungsborn Ost station.

If you fancy going even further afield you could investigate the medieval port of Wismar or take a trip to Schwerin, both of which are accessible by local transport in a couple of hours or by taxi or car in under an hour. Schwerin is a beautiful old town dating from the 11th century which is almost completely surrounded by water. The beautiful castle (Schloss) is an extravagant, ornate palace on an island accessed by a causeway over Lake Schwerin, surrounded by elaborate gardens intersected by canals. It is a riot of architecture with a golden dome, Gothic and Renaissance turrets, Slavic ‘Onion’ domes and terracotta brick Hanseatic step gables. The Schloss contains the State parliament of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, a museum, cafes and galleries. In Schwerin town you could visit the museum which has a wonderful collection of medieval art, the 13th century cathedral and the rococo State Theatre.

The local food is quite hearty and filling. Look for Fischbrotchen, Warnemunde’s own speciality, which is a smoked fish sandwich – available in all sorts of fish – halibut, mackerel, herring, butterfish, flapper, bismarck – many cafes and restaurants have their own smoker just outside on the terrace to prepare the fish. Local Rostock beer is also very popular in both ‘white’ and ‘dark’ forms, and, as elsewhere in Germany, bratwurst and other sausages are found everywhere!

Shopping is quite good in Rostock and Warnemunde and if you are reaching the end of a Baltic cruise you will find it substantially better value than some other ports you have visited. Amber jewellery and various arts and crafts seemed good buys and various gourmet food items made with local orange Sanddorn (sea buckthorn) berries.

So unless you have a burning desire to visit Berlin I really can recommend a day spent more locally, as you can see from many of our pictures we had some pretty poor weather and still had a great day. When the sun is out it is a really lovely area to visit. I hope you’ve found this helpful, its always great to hear what you think so it would be great if you commented below!

I hope you enjoyed reading about how to spend your cruise visit to Warnemunde and that it will be useful on your cruise. The port features on many Baltic and Northern Europe itineraries cruises – if you are looking for inspiration you could start here …

Cruise 2020

See cruise ships up close

Various organisers and shipping companies have a wealth of offers for you. Regardless of whether you’re planning a short trip on the Baltic or the Norwegian Sea or if you want to tour the seven seas. Of course, the ships belonging to the Rostock shipping company AIDA are regular guests, while the Queen Elizabeth and Norwegian Star have both moored at the port of the Warnemünde resort on multiple occasions. Anyone wanting to observe the impressive ships coming in, from the Warnemünde pier for example, will usually need to get up early as these ships arrive in the mornings or mid-morning. The floating hotels invariably head back out to sea towards the evening. To make sure that you’re in the port at the right time to witness an arrival or departure, take a look at the latest Warnemünde cruise ship calendar when planning your trip!

As finding a parking spot around the port is really difficult, especially during the peak season, your best bet is to park at one of the park and ride facilities at the town entrance and then use local public transport.

Previous guests to Warnemünde

The ninth ship in the Kussmund fleet, the AIDAmar , which launched in 2012, has already visited Warnemünde on several occasions. 253 metres long, it has seven restaurants as well as its own brewery on board. The 294 metre-long Norwegian Star , meanwhile, has an open-air beer garden. The ship, originating from the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, has been fitted with six hot tubs and a volleyball court.

Among other ships to have arrived in Warnemünde is the Vision of the Seas , which bears the epithet of “glassy ship” due to its large panoramic windows. While at sea, its passengers enjoy spending their free time on the climbing wall or playing mini golf. Meanwhile, the Princess Royal – 330 metres long, 3,600 beds – attracts people thanks to its “Seawalk”, a walkway made of glass which juts over the side of the ship 40 metres above the sea.

Visiting Warnemünde Germany by cruise ship? Here are 9 fun things to do in one day

I visited Warnemünde during my 7 night Northern European cruise aboard the MSC Poesia this summer. Prior to my trip, I’d never even heard of Warnemünde. But after my cruise, I’m sure I’ll never forget this charming little German town. Warnemünde was founded around 1200 and for centuries it was merely a small fishing village on the Baltic Sea. Today, it is one of busiest cruise ports in the world!

It’s super easy to make your way to the centre of Warnemünde from the cruise ship terminal. Just follow the signs for the ‘city centre’ as you leave the ship. The path will take you underneath the train tracks at the main station, and the town lies just on the other side. I would say it’s about a 10-minute walk.

I decided not to book any tours through the cruise line, but to rather explore the town on my own. Below I share nine fun things to do in Warnemünde in one day.

1. Walk along the sea promenade

Warnemünde has a beautiful, wide promenade that runs parallel to the Baltic Sea. It was built over 100 years ago and stretches for 2 km starting at the famous Warnemünde Lighthouse in the east and terminating into coastal forests in the west. The promenade is flanked by beach villas on the one side and white sand dunes on the other. No matter the weather, this is a great place to enjoy a walk.

2. Visit the Warnemünde Church

It’s difficult to miss the prominent neo-gothic church in the old town centre of Warnemünde. It dates back to 1866 when construction of the current brick building began. As impressive as the outside of the church is, the interior is more modest, but still fitted with interesting furnishings such as a carved altar and Renaissance pulpit. Be sure to check out the interior of the church as there is no entrance fee.

3. Enjoy the Warnemünde beach

The incredibly wide (up to 80 meters) sandy beach of Warnemünde is definitely one of the main attractions. Whether you want to swim in the cool Baltic Sea, or laze on a strandkorb or walk along the white sandy beach, the choice is up to you.

Fun fact : The strandkorb or german beach chair was invented here (Rostock) in 1882.

4. Search for the Dutchman windmill

The windmill was built in 1866 and up until 1991, corn was milled here. Since then, the windmill has been converted into a residential building, including a restaurant. As someone who lives in the Netherlands and has seen a large number of windmills, this one isn’t particularly special. But if you haven’t seen a lot, then this one is worth checking out. Just note that the windmill is currently being renovated (July 2019).

Insider tip : You can get the best view of the windmill from, you guessed it, Mühlenstraße.

5. Climb the Warnemünde Lighthouse

This is a fun activity that the whole family can enjoy. The lighthouse has a height of 37 meters and was built in 1897. Approximately 100 stairs take you to the top of the tower and at 31 meters, you can practically see the whole town. Entry is only €2. Note that you can only climb the tower from Easter to autumn.

6. Explore the area around the Alter Strom

The Alter Strom is the lively heart of Warnemünde, a canal filled with boats and surrounded by restaurants and shops. It’s a great place to take a stroll or do some people watching. So grab an ice cream or a fresh German pastry and just watch the boats go by…There is also a market where local fishermen sell freshly caught fish.

7. Check out the pretty houses on Alexandrinenstraße

With its quaint little houses and tall trees, this pretty street looks like it belongs on the canvas of some famous painter. Long ago, fishermen, sailors and pilots used to live in these houses.

8. Shop till you drop in the local shops

If you like shopping as much as I do, then the local shops in Warnemünde will not disappoint. You can expect to see a variety of products, from spices to homemade liquor and treats to art galleries and everything in between.

9. Walk along the west pier

Take a romantic stroll along the west pier that runs 500 meters into the Baltic Sea. Believe me, the view is great! The pier mainly serves as a breakwater to stop the currents of the Baltic Sea and to facilitate the approach of incoming ships. At the end of the pier is a green and white lighthouse.

Bonus: Warnemünde Sand World

Just as you exit the cruise ships (Pier 7), there is a temporary sand sculpture exhibition (Warnemünde Sand World) featuring artists from all across Europe. This is the best sand art that I’ve ever seen and it’s completely free to visit! From what I’ve read on the internet, there is a sand sculpture competition/exhibition every year. The exhibition runs until the end of October.

Although Warnemünde is fairly small, there are lots to see and you can do all these activities at a leisurely pace. If you crave more excitement or you simply want to see more, Rostock is only a 30-minute train ride away. Now technically, you can also travel to Berlin or Hamburg. But these cities are huge and hours away. I wouldn’t recommend visiting them on this port stop. Rather, stick around and explore all that Warnemünde has to offer.

I’m a travel fanatic, nature lover, geek, metalhead, and writer. My promise to you: transparency, depth, and passion. Keep it real and stay weird everybody!

Disney announces where its cruise ships will be sailing during late-2025, early-2026

Disney Cruise Line is preparing to debut its new cruise ship, the Treasure, at Port Canaveral later this year.

But it also is planning ahead as far as 2026, with the cruise line's latest announcement of ship schedules out of Port Canaveral and other ports.

Disney's just-released ship schedules for October 2025 through May 2026 ― Disney's winter and spring cruise seasons ― shows that the cruise line will have three ships based on Port Canaveral during that time.

Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.

Disney currently bases two ships at Port Canaveral — the Fantasy and the Wish. But it will have three, starting when the Treasure starts sailing in December.

Where Disney ships are headed

What you'll discover on Disney Treasure: Here's a lineup of some restaurants, entertainment and lodging on Disney's Treasure ship

Here are the newly announced plans and itineraries for Disney ships that will be based at Port Canaveral:

• The 2,713-passenger Disney Magic will have four- and five-night sailings from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas in October 2025, before switching home ports to San Juan, Puerto Rico, at the end of October, then to Galveston, Texas, in November 2025.
• The 4,000-passenger Disney Fantasy will sail out of Port Canaveral on three-, four- and five-night cruises to the Bahamas starting in November 2025, replacing the Magic on the port's schedule. Before coming to Port Canaveral, the Fantasy will offer a special 13-night trans-Atlantic cruise sailing leaving Oct. 20, 2024, from Southampton, England, to Port Canaveral, with two port-of-call stops in Spain and one in Portugal.
• The 4,000-passenger Disney Treasure will offer seven-night cruises to the Eastern and Western Caribbean from Port Canaveral.
• The 4,000-passenger Disney Wish will offer three- and four-night cruises to the Bahama from Port Canaveral.

All the cruises out of Port Canaveral will include a port-of-call stop at one or both of Disney's private islands in the Bahamas — Castaway Cay and the new Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, which had its first port-of-call visits this month.

"That's a lot of options out of Port Canaveral," said Scott Sanders, owner of the Celebration-based Disney Cruise Line Blog , which is not affiliated with Disney itself.

The Fantasy and the Magic will be switching places at Port Canaveral. The Fantasy currently is based at Port Canaveral, but will leave in May 2025, replaced by the Magic, before the Fantasy returns in November 2025.

The addition of a third Disney ship at Port Canaveral at the end of this year means Disney will be using two cruise terminals there, rather than one. Currently, when they are in port, Disney ships dock at Cruise Terminal 8, a terminal primarily used by Disney. But the third home-ported ship will result in Disney also using Cruise Terminal 10, which now currently is used primarily by MSC and Norwegian.

This is where Disney's two other ships will be during the fall 2025 to spring 2026 time frame:

• The 2,713-passenger Disney Wonder will have multiple home ports, including Vancouver, British Columbia; Honolulu; Sydney and Melbourne, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; and San Diego.
• The 4,000-passenger Disney Dream will sail out of Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades with three-, four- and five-night sailings to the Bahamas, as well as five-night sailings to the Western Caribbean.

Disney will offer themed holiday sailings on some of it 2025 cruises, with Halloween on the High Seas cruises in September and October, then Very Merrytime sailings in November and December.

Bookings for the general public will open Friday for the winter 2024 through spring 2025 Disney cruises. Bookings for members of various Disney Cruise Line clubs open earlier this week.

Sanders said it is unusual for Disney to announce cruise ship schedules for two seasons at once. But he believes that is related to Disney planning a special announcement with the next few months about itineraries for two other Disney ships now under construction that will joining the fleet in 2025 ― the Disney Adventure and the Disney Destiny.

The 6,000-passenger Adventure will sail out of Singapore. Disney acquire that ship — partially built and then known as the Global Dream — from another cruise company. No home port has been announced for the 4,000-passenger Destiny.

Affordable Island-Hopping in Croatia? What Could Go Wrong?

A 30-percent-off Black Friday sale on a cruise aboard a yacht meant off-season sailing and being prepared for the unexpected.

By Elaine Glusac

Elaine Glusac is the Frugal Traveler columnist, focusing on budget-friendly tips and journeys.

As Croatians tell the story , the Greek hero Odysseus was shipwrecked and held captive on the Croatian island of Mljet. Visiting in May, I and six other sailors embraced the myth when the motor on our 54-foot yacht failed.

“Remember, Odysseus spent seven years on Mljet,” said Ivan Ljubovic, our captain. “We can do two nights.”

In the scheme of things, the clogged fuel filter that impeded our progress on a seven-night, island-hopping cruise from Split to Dubrovnik on a yacht — which the passengers helped sail — was minor. Though an engine, even on a sailboat, is vital for docking and sticking to schedules on becalmed days, most of my shipmates agreed that getting waylaid in a village with Roman ruins on a turquoise bay was an acceptable fate.

I had been resigned to what were, in my mind, worse inconveniences when I had signed up for the trip last November. Then, the tour operator G Adventures had put several trips on sale over the Black Friday weekend. Its best deals were in the off-season, which meant potentially chilly weather and closed restaurants and attractions. But leaving in late April for seven nights of island hopping at roughly $1,300 — after a 30 percent discount — was too tempting to pass up.

My cousin Kim agreed and we made plans to pack rain gear and meet in Split to test the budget waters.

‘Everything between is an adventure’

Little about the itinerary was published pre-departure and none of it was firm.

“Split and Dubrovnik are fixed,” said the captain, who would pilot the ship solo and double as our guide, on our first day. “Everything between is an adventure.”

It started with the Sauturnes, a handsome Kufner yacht with four snug guest cabins, four economical bathrooms where the retractable faucet doubled as a shower spigot, and a spacious galley. Our “crew,” a mix of Australians and Americans ranging from 18 to 75 — all of whom had also jumped on the promotional pricing — spent most of the time atop the boat, where foam mattresses invited sunbathing and a cockpit awning provided shade.

The weather, which turned out to be sunny and comfortably cool, was not our greatest concern. The G Adventures website had mentioned well-known islands, including beachy Brac and Vis , which played a convincing Greek idyll in the movie “Mamma Mia 2.” But since many places would be closed in the shoulder season, we would proceed, according to the captain, based on the dictates of the weather and conditions on shore.

Meals were not included, which meant finding open restaurants was critical. For shipboard breakfasts and lunches, we each chipped in 50 euros (about $54) for communal groceries, which we shopped for at local markets. At night, we would dine at restaurants; G Adventures advised budgeting $250 to $325 for the week, which was accurate, though we often splurged on Croatian wine (a carafe of house red averaged $15).

Small ports

After the frenzy of grocery shopping and moving into the bunk-bedded cabin Kim and I shared, we experienced the Zen of sailing as the ship set off on a sunny morning for 43-mile-long Hvar , the longest and purportedly sunniest island in Croatia.

Neighboring islands drifted past as the wind patterned the sea in shifting ripples and ruffles. A flock of shearwaters soared by at eye level.

Within a few hours, the ridgelines of steep Hvar appeared, revealing terraced lavender fields and olive orchards. Motoring down a long, narrow inlet, we arrived in Stari Grad , a village of stone homes with terra cotta roof tiles, as travelers had since 384 B.C., when Greek sailors from the island of Paros settled here.

Our mooring provided a front-row view of fishing boats and cafes animating the waterfront. Stari Grad’s attractions, including the Greek ruins of Faros and a 17th-century Venetian cathedral, had yet to open for the season, but we relished exploring the old quarter’s narrow lanes and deserted plazas.

From the waterfront, an aerobic 20-minute hike up a steep hill crowned by a giant white cross offered views over Stari Grad and the plains beyond, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of fourth-century agricultural fields, with stone walls circumscribing grapevines and olive orchards.

That evening, we visited them to reach Konoba Kokot , a farm restaurant that specializes in “peka,” a kind of barbecue in which meat cooks under an iron lid piled with hot coals. The family that runs it opened in the preseason, welcoming us with bracing shots of rakija, a local herbal liquor. At a long table under an arbor, we gorged on homemade goat cheese, wild boar pate and, from the hearth, roast lamb, veal and octopus with limitless jugs of red and white wine for 35 euros a person.

Starry nights

Small ships are unmatched at getting into small ports, but a yacht trip is also a little like camping, starting most mornings with D.I.Y. instant coffee. Marinas offered free bathhouses with showers.

Cool temperatures apparently deterred the celebrity-filled mega yachts, which are known to anchor in the town of Hvar on the south shore of Hvar island. Our captain declared it the “Mykonos of Croatia” as we motored by the port bustling with visitors carrying shopping bags and cones of gelato.

With clear weather in the forecast, we moored in an undeveloped cove east of town. The mooring belonged to the owners of Moli Onte restaurant, who ferried us to land on a motorized dingy, allowing us enough time before dinner to visit the fortress above Hvar and have an Ozujsko beer on St. Stephens Square, the largest in the region of Dalmatia.

Back on board, with no artificial light to wash out the night sky, we hit the upper deck for stargazing. As my shipmates peeled off to bed, I grabbed a blanket and beanie and bedded down under the stars for the evolving show, periodically waking to catch the drama of the moon rising, reflected in the still water.

Little Dubrovnik

Fingers of gray rock reached down to meet sloping vineyards along Hvar’s south coast as we departed for its neighbor, Korcula. On our longest day of sailing, five hours, I welcomed the chance to play first mate, manning the lines on the jib sail.

To break up the trip, Captain Ljubovic navigated to a quiet cove off the Peljesac Peninsula where the Caribbean-blue waters, cloudless sky and sandy bottom convinced us to jump in despite numbing sea temperatures.

Fifteenth-century walls ring the historic center of Korcula, earning it the nickname “Little Dubrovnik.” Past the stone gates carved with a winged lion representing the empire of Venice, which controlled much of the Adriatic after the 13th century, narrow alleys led to ornate churches and mansions. There was no better history trip than getting lost in the web of pedestrian lanes. Or so we told ourselves as we passed the purported home of Marco Polo, still closed preseason.

Along the seafront walls, restaurants served pizza and seafood under lights strung in the pines and we caught sunset from a former turret, now converted into Massimo Cocktail Bar , which requires patrons to climb a ladder to the rooftop, a caution against second rounds.

The most romantic port of the trip was also the rowdiest, at least in the marina, which was hosting a Polish sailing regatta. When I headed for the showers at 6 a.m. the next morning, I found a group still cheerfully dancing atop a yacht littered in empty booze bottles and crushed potato chips.

Marooned on Mljet

We left Korcula on strong 20-knot “jugo” or south winds and Captain Ljubovic unleashed the sails, saying “You paid for a sailing vacation, not a motorboat.”

As we tacked back and forth toward Mljet , the boat heeled at a queasy angle and we took face shots of ocean spray.

On Mljet, where the western end of the island is home to Mljet National Park , we rented bikes (10 euros) to ride a lung-busting route over the park’s mountain spine. On the other side, we cycled around a pair of inland lakes and took a boat trip to a 12th-century monastery built on an island in one of them (park admission, 15 euros).

Docked in the still sleepy town of Polace, we heard tales of high season, when up to 100 yachts anchor in the bay and members of the band U2 were once seen biking in the park. After a brief shower, the town glimmered at sunset and the restaurant Stella Maris welcomed us with grilled sea bass (25 euros) and prawns (20 euros).

“I’m so glad I chose this time, because I don’t do crowds,” said my shipmate Nova Hey, 46, of Sydney, who was traveling with her 18-year-old daughter.

In the morning, I had the trail to the peak of Montokuc to myself. The roughly three-mile round-trip hike reached one of the highest points on the island, a rocky knob with stunning panoramas shared by a family of feral goats.

Not long thereafter, the Sauternes’ engine refused to turn over, stranding us in a national park on a remote island with no mechanics.

Teeming Dubrovnik

The next morning, Captain Ljubovic jimmied a fix but it didn’t last long and the engine died again, this time just opposite a cave on Mljet that we joked had to be the refuge of Odysseus.

After a morning of light sailing, a mechanic from the mainland arrived by speedboat and within an hour we were motoring toward the Franjo Tudman Bridge that spans the inlet to the Dubrovnik marina where hot showers awaited.

“Dubrovnik is the most expensive city in Croatia,” said Captain Ljubovic as we spent the last of our pooled money, 70 euros, hiring a taxi van to get us to and from the walled heart of the ancient city about 15 minutes away.

With two large cruise ships in port, Dubrovnik was teeming with visitors and the price to climb the stone walls that encircle the city was a sticker-shocking 35 euros. (In the ensuing two days Kim and I would spend post-cruise in the city, we bought the more comprehensive Dubrovnik Pass for 35 euros that included admission to the walls as well as several museums and public bus transportation.)

On our final evening, we measured the lack of crowds versus closed museums; perfect hiking weather versus swim-inviting water; ample dock space versus more restaurant choices — and felt we’d come out ahead sailing in the bargain season.

Travel | fdle confirms investigation involving orlando-area rep. amesty, things to do, subscriber only, travel | disney cruise line reveals ship deployment plans for late 2025, early 2026.

That includes Disney Treasure, set to debut this winter, and 2022’s Disney Wishas well as older ships Disney Magic and Disney Fantasy trading off sailing duties.

The new homeport and sailing plans for Disney Destiny, a sister ship to Wish and Treasure, was not announced, but it’s slated to be delivered to the line at a yet-to-be-revealed date in 2025 and could end up DCL’s new second Florida home in Port Everglades.

Disney Cruise Line names its newest cruise ship

Also debuting in 2025 will be the Asia-bound Disney Adventure, but for now, DCL only revealed sailing plans for its two original ships, Magic and Wonder, its two decade-plus-old ships Dream and Fantasy and its two most recent ships Wish and Treasure.

Port Canaveral will continue to host Wish sailing short three- and four-night Bahamas trips while Treasure will continue with seven-night Caribbean sailings.

Disney Magic, which arrives to the port in summer 2025, will remain through October and then be replaced with Disney Fantasy in November doing a four- and five-night set of itineraries through May 2026.

3 looks back at Disney Cruise Line’s new Lookout Cay

Wish, Magic and Fantasy all have some trips that visit Disney’s newest private Bahamas destination Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point that welcomed first guests this month. Some sailings visit both Lookout Cay and the line’s original Bahamas private island Castaway Cay.

Many of the September and October sailings will take on the popular Halloween on the High Seas theming while November and December sailings will have the Very Merrytime holiday theme.

Disney Magic has not sailed from Port Canaveral since 2016, and as the line’s oldest ship has been tasked with bouncing around the world for short-term stays at various markets. It will do so again after October, first heading to Puerto Rico for a series of seven-night Caribbean sailings, and then making its way to Galveston, Texas, for four- to seven-night western Caribbean trips through May 2026.

Disney Cruise Line opens 2nd Florida home at Port Everglades

Disney Dream will keep sailing from its new year-round home in Port Everglades, which opened for business last fall. It will tackle three- to five-night Bahamas trips visiting either Lookout Cay, Castaway Cay or both, as well as some stops in Nassau through May 2026.

After a summer of Alaska sailings, Disney Wonder will continue its late 2025 duties in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, not returning to the West Coast homeporting in San Diego beginning in March 2026 for three- and four-night Mexican Riviera sailings. This will be the third season Disney Wonder has sailed from Australia.

Bookings for the new itineraries open to the public June 28, with earlier dates available for the line’s variety of club-level members, but details can already be found on disneycruise.com.
