Uncover Ravenna, a magnificent historic city that served as the capital of the Western Roman Empire and is now home to an astounding collection of mosaics, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Ravenna offers an atmosphere of profound historical significance that feels both serene and deeply moving. Unlike a bustling seaside town, its focus is on its incredible collection of early Christian monuments, which are scattered throughout the compact and walkable city centre. The city's atmosphere is that of a quiet cultural capital, a place where art and history are revered, providing a peaceful and enlightening experience for visitors.

Ravenna's cultural importance is immense and unlike any other city in Italy. It served as the capital of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century and then the capital of the Ostrogothic kingdom, and later a Byzantine Exarchate. This unique period of history resulted in a collection of eight UNESCO World Heritage monuments, each containing some of the world's most impressive and well-preserved early Christian and Byzantine mosaics. The city also has a significant cultural connection to the poet Dante Alighieri, who spent his final years here, and his tomb is a place of pilgrimage for many.

The local cuisine in Ravenna is a delicious representation of the Emilia-Romagna region, with a strong emphasis on fresh pasta and rich flavours. This is the land of 'piadina', a thin flatbread that is a local staple, often filled with cured meats and soft cheeses like 'squacquerone'. Other regional specialities include fresh egg pasta dishes, such as 'cappelletti' (small filled pasta), often served in broth, and a variety of delicious cured meats and cheeses. The food here is hearty, traditional, and a genuine delight for the senses.

A visit to Ravenna offers an unparalleled opportunity to step back in time and witness masterpieces of ancient art. The city's compact size and walkable streets make it easy for cruise passengers to explore its magnificent UNESCO sites, providing a day filled with incredible beauty and a deep appreciation for its role as a pivotal centre of art and power in ancient Europe.

Discover Bar, a city on the Montenegrin coast where a modern port meets a medieval fortress and the oldest olive tree in the world.

Bar offers a unique atmosphere that contrasts its modern urban port with its ancient, ruined town. The new city of Bar is a lively, contemporary hub with a long, palm-lined promenade and a bustling marina. Just a few kilometres inland, you will find Stari Bar (Old Bar), a mesmerising ghost town perched on a hill, which offers a powerful glimpse into the past. This blend of new and old creates a fascinating and diverse atmosphere that appeals to history buffs and those seeking a relaxing coastal experience.

The cultural significance of Bar is immense and multifaceted. Its history dates back to Roman times, but its most famous chapter is as a medieval fortress and a strategic port on the Adriatic Sea, which was coveted by empires for centuries. The town has a unique religious and cultural blend, with both Catholic and Orthodox churches and the remains of a mosque side by side, reflecting its history as a crossroads of cultures. It is also home to the oldest olive tree in the world, a symbol of longevity and peace for the region.

Montenegrin cuisine in Bar is a delicious mix of Mediterranean and Balkan flavours. Given its location, fresh seafood is a staple, with local specialities often including grilled fish and seafood risotto. Other local dishes include 'Njeguški pršut' (smoked ham) and a variety of local cheeses. The town's surrounding area is famous for its olive groves, so it's no surprise that locally produced olive oil is a key part of the culinary scene.

Bar is an excellent cruise port due to its convenient location. The port is situated right at the edge of the modern town, allowing for easy access to the city's amenities and promenade. From here, a short taxi ride can take you to the historic site of Stari Bar, the ancient olive tree, or the surrounding natural beauty of Lake Skadar, making it a perfect starting point for a day of historical and natural exploration.
