Dubrovnik has been on the eastern Mediterranean cruise circuit for some time. Now it seems almost obligatory to include a stop in Dubrovnik on any cruise sailing between Italy and, say, Greece. Recently cruise companies have discovered other Croatian ports of call. Split, Rovinj, Zadar, Korcula, Hvar and Pula are all scheduled to be graced by the big cruise liners. Yesterday, Windstar announced two brand-new Adriatic routes to start in 2008 and they do look enticing. From Venice to Dubrovnik, one route stops at Pula, Rijeka, Zadar, Split and Korcula and another route goes from Dubrovnik to Venice with stops at Kotor, Hvar, Sibenik, Rab and Trieste. This is great news for the many, many people that would like to cover the Adriatic coast between Venice and Dubrovnik without having to travel by land. See more on Croatia cruises.
