About this trip

 Join us onboard Emerald Cruises' new super yacht, the Kaia, as we sail the coastlines of the Adriatic Sea, from Dubrovnik on the Dalmatian Coast all the way up to Venice, Italy. The Kaia is being chartered exclusively for Robert Biale Vineyards, so expect a fantastic Biale celebration on board!


We are excited to explore Croatia as it is the birthplace of Zinfandel, which is known there by its original name Crljenak Kaštelanski (alsoTribidrag). 


We will set sail in Dubrovnik on June 27, 2026, and will have ample time to explore the ports of Split, Zadar, Opatija, and Piran before arriving in Venice on July 4, 2026. You'll have your choice of multiple included shore excursions in each port.  


There is plenty to keep everyone happily occupied on this new ship. From relaxing in a cabana by the infinity pool to jumping into the sea from the marina deck where you can swim or enjoy aqua toys, there will be no lack of fun activities.  Dining options range from casual to fine dining, all created by the talented chefs of the Kaia.  Complimentary wine (in addition to the wine from Robert Biale Vineyards), cocktails and beers are also provided for your enjoyment, ensuring there will be something to please everyone's tastebuds. 


The world is your oyster onboard the Kaia, as we will have the ship chartered for our group. We want this to be your best vacation ever!

We had a great time. Small very fun group to travel with. Our local guide and driver(Karin and Jordan), were first rate. Loved the variety of daily activities that were scheduled and executed without issue. Our accommodations, especially Les Source de Caudalie were excellent. Kudos to Gail Sherman of Wine Lovers Travel and her staff for all their contributions to making this a most memorable experience.

We had a great time with great wine, food and people. It was also great that our group had the entire Nerol Bio Resort to ourselves. The daily itineraries were excellent, however, a bit too packed with things like cannolo and chocolate tastings. I would also recommend shortening the time spent in the bus, allowing everyone to spend more time in the small cities i.e. Marsala and Taormina. Overall, great fun!
By James M for Sip & Savor Sicily with Pelletiere Estate on Oct 01, 2024
Jim—thanks for sharing your feedback. So happy you had a great time traveling through Sicily, and that you appreciated our group having exclusive use of the resort! I do agree that some of the travel time was too long—it was a function of trying to visit a lot of Sicily, which is much larger than most people realize. Future trips will cover smaller geography, so shorter travel time. If guests want to see more, we can arrange customized extensions.
