Plan the arrival before the attractions.

The Adriatic & Ionian collection brings these destinations together inside Ahoy There. Its 14 genuine cruise ports span Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Italy, Greece and 1 more country or territory. Start with the call itself: the berth, tender, shuttle and distance into town decide how much of the destination is genuinely yours to enjoy.

01

Plan the arrival before the attractions.

Calls in this collection include arrival patterns described as Gruž cruise berth or ship-directed tender near the Old City; City Port cruise berth or ship-directed tender beside central Split; Gaženica passenger terminal or central Zadar peninsula berth; Old Town berth or ship tender from a Bay of Kotor anchorage. Those labels are not decoration. A central dock may open straight into a walking day; a remote terminal, gateway port or tender can consume time before the experience begins.

Open the individual preview before choosing transport or tickets. The guide explains the likely arrival context, then points back to current ship and port instructions because berth assignments, shuttle arrangements and sea conditions can change.

02

Choose a day that fits the call.

Compare places such as Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar, Kotor without assuming that every famous sight belongs in one port day. A strong plan protects the all-aboard margin, matches the group's walking pace and leaves room for food, weather, queues and the simple pleasure of stopping somewhere unexpectedly lovely.

Use each substantial website preview to judge the shape of the day: what is close, what needs a transfer, what works for families and what may need advance booking. Then choose one leading experience and an easier fallback rather than building a frantic checklist.

03

Carry the useful detail ashore.

The public atlas is deliberately useful in its own right, with arrival answers, practical essentials, selected highlights, family advice, related ports and source links. The complete included or owned app guide adds the wider place catalogue, prepared plans and richer decision detail for use offline.

Prepare Ahoy There and any separate offline maps while the phone still has a reliable connection. Save the stops that belong to the sailing in My Trip, check the current ship instructions on the day, and take a calm plan ashore instead of depending on a signal at the terminal.

Inside the collection

Adriatic & Ionian port previews

This page explains the destination collection without making a price claim. Current availability and purchase details appear inside the app.

Croatia · Gruž cruise berth or ship-directed tender near the Old City

Dubrovnik

Most large ships berth at Gruž, the working harbour several kilometres from the Old City. Some calls anchor and tender near the historic harbour instead. Photograph the ship notice: Gruž, Pile and the Old Port are different return points.

Croatia · City Port cruise berth or ship-directed tender beside central Split

Split

Split’s cruise berths sit in the busy City Port beside the ferry harbour, and some calls may use tenders. The Riva and Diocletian’s Palace are close, but the assigned quay, tender landing and security route still control the return.

Croatia · Gaženica passenger terminal or central Zadar peninsula berth

Zadar

Zadar’s 2026 cruise plan uses both Gaženica and the passenger port beside the historic peninsula. Gaženica needs a road transfer; a central berth starts within walking distance. Confirm the named port before estimating the day.

Montenegro · Old Town berth or ship tender from a Bay of Kotor anchorage

Kotor

Kotor offers cruise berths immediately outside the walls and remaining anchorages served by passenger transfer. A berth is nearly walk-off; an anchored call adds tender queues and weather. The ship notice decides which return applies.

Slovenia · City-edge passenger terminal below Koper Old Town

Koper

Koper’s passenger terminal lies only a short walk below the historic centre. A panoramic lift helps connect the waterfront with the old-town level, making Koper an unusually compact call; regional and cross-border trips still need firm road margins.

Italy · Ship-assigned Bari cruise berth in the working passenger port

Bari

Cruise ships use Bari’s long, multipurpose passenger harbour north of the old city. The waterfront and Bari Vecchia can be close, but the assigned quay, controlled gate and any shuttle stop decide the real walk and the correct return.

Italy · Ship-assigned berth within Brindisi’s inner, middle or outer harbour system

Brindisi

Brindisi wraps around a deep natural harbour with several operational zones. Some cruise calls feel almost central and others use a shuttle or controlled transfer, so the ship’s berth and passenger gate matter more than a generic pin for “Brindisi port.”

Greece · Corfu New Port cruise berth and passenger terminal

Corfu

Cruise ships normally use the New Port west of Corfu Old Town. The passenger terminal is roughly 1.6 kilometres from the historic centre, but the berth-to-gate leg and any port or ship shuttle make the practical distance longer.

Greece · Walk-off berth at the Port of Katakolo

Katakolon

Ships berth beside the compact village of Katakolon, making the harbour and main street easy to reach on foot. Ancient Olympia is the famous inland destination, about 38 kilometres away, and its train, coach or road return must be confirmed for the actual call.

Greece · Argostoli cruise quay or ship-directed tender landing

Argostoli / Kefalonia

Argostoli’s official harbour includes a cruise pier beside the long sheltered bay. The ship decides whether guests use a berth or tender on the day, and that exact quay or landing must remain the return point before any island road trip.

Croatia · Ship-assigned berth in Rijeka Basin, commonly beside the breakwater passenger terminal

Rijeka

Cruise ships can berth along Rijeka’s long breakwater close to the centre, while the working port retains other operational quays. Save the ship’s exact gangway and controlled return route before treating the clock tower and Korzo as an easy city walk.

Greece · Zakynthos Town ship-assigned berth or ship-controlled tender landing

Zakynthos

Zakynthos calls may use the town harbour or a ship-controlled tender. The waterfront centre is compact after landing, but island highlights sit on slow roads or boats, so the exact return point and final tender time matter before any beach, cave or viewpoint plan.

Croatia · Vrulje passenger berth or ship-controlled anchorage/tender arrangement

Šibenik

Cruise ships that fit the port can use Vrulje quay near the city, while larger vessels may anchor outside near Zablaće and tender. The ship’s exact arrangement decides the practical start, even though Šibenik’s stone old town rises invitingly above the sheltered harbour.

Albania · Sarandë cruise berth or ship-controlled tender landing

Sarandë

Sarandë’s passenger port sits beside the crescent waterfront, and suitable ships can use its cruise pier while other calls may tender. Record the exact return arrangement before leaving town for Butrint, Ksamil, the Blue Eye or hilltop viewpoints.
