Albania Cruises

Sarandë is the heart of the Albanian Riviera. Nestled in a horseshoe-shaped bay, this coastal city welcomes you with clear waters and a laid-back vibe.

The waterfront promenade is lined with palm trees, cafés, and local shops. You can stroll along the seafront or settle into a terrace for a drink with a view of nearby Corfu.

Sarandë blends old and new. Local markets buzz with life. Ancient ruins rest just steps from modern hotels.

The beaches here are calm, scenic, and perfect for a relaxing dip. Cruise visitors will appreciate the short walk from port to promenade.

Just 20 minutes south of Sarandë, Ksamil is a small village with a big reputation.

It’s famous for its white-sand beaches and crystal-clear water. Think Caribbean colours, but quieter.

There are several small islets just offshore — perfect for kayaking or swimming. You can even hire a paddle boat or take a short boat ride to reach them.

The beach clubs offer sun loungers and seafood lunches. The vibe is relaxed and very local.

Ksamil is ideal for sun-seekers, families, or anyone who wants to unwind with a view.

Butrint is Albania’s standout archaeological site — and a UNESCO World Heritage treasure.

Set within a lush national park, this ancient city feels frozen in time. You’ll walk among ruins that span Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Venetian history.

Highlights include a Roman amphitheatre, a grand basilica, and beautifully preserved mosaic floors.

The surrounding lagoon adds a peaceful, almost mystical feel to the visit.

Butrint is just a 30-minute drive from Sarandë and makes a fantastic shore excursion. It's one of the most important cultural sites on the Adriatic coast.
