Touring in Montenegro

Ships calling on Montenegro dock in Bar or Kotor, both opening directly onto the Bay of Kotor, a dramatic fjord-like inlet framed by steep mountains. Kotor's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its stone lanes and squares enclosed by fortress walls that climb more than 900 meters up the hillside above. A short drive around the bay brings you to Perast, a tiny village of baroque palaces facing the islet church of Our Lady of the Rocks, while Budva, about 40 minutes south, offers its own walled old town and Adriatic beaches.

A private Montenegro shore excursion lets you build the day around Kotor's Old Town, the coastal drive to Perast, or a longer run down to Budva, rather than following one fixed group itinerary. Your private vehicle, driver, and licensed English-speaking guide set the pace, with time to linger over the bay views or wander the old streets. All Montenegro shore excursions include our back-to-ship guarantee, so a day along the Bay of Kotor never puts your return to the ship in question.
