Yachting Cruise in Albania, the secret Mediterranean

Albania! Long cut off from the world and still largely unknown, the land of the Eagles has everything to surprise: wild landscapes, a sunny coast with crystal clear waters, sublime mountains and countless archaeological treasures. In Albania, Byzantine, Greek, Roman, Venetian and Ottoman influences have left a priceless heritage. Here, mosques rub shoulders with churches, East meets West and the vestiges of communism mingle with a modernity that loves freedom, forming a land rich in its contrasts. A welcoming destination, still confidential and preserved from mass tourism, to visit without delay! In parallel with this discovery of Albania, the Variety Voyager will stop in Corfu and Montenegro, two pearls of the Adriatic and Ionian seas. Mountainous and wooded, Corfu is an island of wild beauty that has retained its authentic charm. In Montenegro, in the impressive Bay of Kotor, the mountainous slopes of the fjord plunge into the azure waters. Perched villages, fortified citadels and lush flora are an integral part of this cruise rich in colors and emotions. Embark on this unique cruise aboard the Variety Voyager, an intimate ship reserved for a privileged few, ideal for discovering these new horizons that will renew the charms of the Mediterranean for you.
