Kotor, Montenegro

Docked 9:00 9:00 pm

Beautiful sail in. Set your alarm for an early start when entering the Bay of Kotor and gliding for an hour through the mountains on a 17-mile waterway known as Europe’s southernmost fjord. It’s not actually a fjord — fjords are caused by glacial activity, and the Bay of Kotor has been carved by a river running from the interior to the Adriatic Sea. Views are fjord-like, with mountains rising on both sides of a long, thin bay that leads to the old walled town of Kotor. Cruise ships often begin the bay journey as early as 6:15 a.m. for an 8 a.m. arrival.
