Follow in Nana’s Royle Family Footsteps With A 10-Day Adriatic Cruise
Following news that the former Royle Family actress Liz Smith (AKA ‘Nana’) will be filmed by the BBC embarking on her first "proper holiday" – a 10 night Adriatic cruise - Cruise Thomas Cook has some great deals to help you brush off your sea legs and follow suit this summer.
At the age of 87, Liz Smith's Summer Cruise will be shown as part of BBC4's forthcoming Grey Expectations series, a season of shows dedicated to understanding life's twilight years.
And viewers will be in for a visual treat as the Adriatic Sea, with its limestone sea floor, is reportedly one of the clearest seas in the world. Situated between the eastern coast of Italy and western coasts of Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, a cruise along the Adriatic is the ideal retreat for complete rest and relaxation.
Its Croatian coast is home to one of the largest archipelagos in the Mediterranean, featuring over 1,200 islands – some uninhabited - and offering spectacular views, beautiful Mediterranean towns and a variety of cultural heritage.
Although only a small distance from its Adriatic neighbour, the Italian coast is a million miles away from Croatia’s crystal clear waters and rocky coastline. Featuring marshes and lagoons as a result of its low shore, Italy’s Adriatic shoreline boasts plenty of famous cities to keep holidaymakers entertained including, Venice, Trieste and Rimini.
Marc Bennett, Director of Cruise Thomas Cook, comments; "Cruises are ideal for people who, like ‘Nana’, are looking for a once in a lifetime holiday that packs in loads of destinations, or who want to meet like-minded people while soaking up new corners of the world.
“Adriatic Cruises are a great way to combine relaxing on the unspoilt islands of Croatia with visits to the more well-known cities of Italy – attracting a wide-range of holidaymakers looking for a cultural cruising experience not too far from home."
