THE DALMATIAN COAST & ITS ISLANDS:
EXPLORING CROATIA’S TREASURES
June 19 - 27, 2013 TRIP OVERVIEW
Discover striking beauty, the contrast
of remains left by many cultures, and
the architectural and artistic
excellence of monuments, both famed
and less known.
Ancient Greek settlers, Roman and
Byzantine emperors, Venetian doges,
and Ottoman caliphs have all made
their mark on the sun-dappled,
island-dotted stretch of the Adriatic
Sea. Yet despite some turbulent
modern times, the small,
well-preserved medieval towns
lining the coast of Croatia and
Montenegro, the phenomenal
monuments, and the exquisite
landscapes have retained their
original character.
These historic coastal towns and
islands are compact and best
appreciated when traveling in a
smaller ship. Your cruise aboard the
private Corinthian, accommodating
only 100 guests in 50 suites, allows
you to experience the places with a
few like-minded travelers and at a
leisurely pace. Your Harvard study
leader, Peter W. Galbraith, who was
the first US Ambassador to Croatia
from 1993 to 1998, will share his
expertise and insights on the region.
Begin in Croatia exploring the medieval
splendors of Dubrovnik. Next, visit
Kotor in Montenegro, reached through
southern Europe’s only fjord, before
returning to Croatia and Korcula
Island, caressed by gentle breezes and
graced with Venetian spires. Tour the
ancient city of Split and the lovely
seaside town of Mali Losinj. Stroll
through the lavender-scented lanes of
Hvar, which is quietly becoming the
Mediterranean’s newest Riviera.
As befits a private-style cruise, you
will have the opportunity to
participate in activities such as
swimming and snorkeling in turquoise
waters from Corinthian’s swimming
platform or biking country lanes on
the ship’s fleet of bikes.

HARVARD STUDY LEADER

Below: Kotor, Montenegro
Peter W. Galbraith AB ’73, KSG ’78 served as the first US
Ambassador to Croatia and has held senior positions in the US
Government and the United Nations.
Galbraith was actively involved in the Croatia and Bosnia peace
processes. During the Bosnian war years, he was responsible
for US humanitarian programs in the former Yugoslavia and for
US relations with the UNPROFOR mission headquartered in Zagreb. Galbraith’s
diplomatic interventions facilitated the flow of humanitarian assistance to
Bosnia and secured the 1993 release of more than 5,000 prisoners of war held in
inhumane conditions by Bosnian Croat forces. He was co-mediator and principal
architect of the 1995 Erdut Agreement that ended the war in Croatia by providing
for peaceful reintegration of Serb-held Eastern Slavonia into Croatia.
Currently, Galbraith is the Senior Diplomatic Fellow at the Center for Arms Control
and Non-Proliferation where his work focuses on Iraq, the greater Middle East, and
conflict resolution and post-conflict reconstruction, specifically in the Balkans,
Indonesia, Iraq, India/Pakistan, and Southeast Asia.
ADDITIONAL STUDY LEADER
Richard Saller, dean of the School of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford,
teaches courses in Roman history and Western civilization. Of this itinerary, he
says, “I came to know about Dalmatia as a central arena of Roman history [that] .
. . played an important role in the last stages of the Roman Empire. Diocletian, the
only Roman emperor who voluntarily retired from oce, famously spent his last
years at his Dalmatian palace raising cabbages. After Rome fell, Dalmatia’s rich
history continued as it came under Byzantine and then Venetian rule.”
