NCL Gem Cruise Vlog: Kotor, Montenegro Shore Excursion & Blue Cave Boat Tour senior silver travelers

Описание: Speedboats, "soggy bottoms," and the most iridescent blue water we’ve ever seen! 🚤🌊 Join Stewy and Emery—your favorite senior retired couple and active "Silver Travelers"—for Day 5 of our 10-day NCL Gem Mediterranean cruise! Today, we’re anchored in the spectacular Bay of Kotor, Montenegro. We’re trading the big ship for a high-speed boat to explore the rugged coastline and a natural wonder that has to be seen to be believed.

In this episode:

Ship Life: We start our day with our favorite "peaceful" breakfast spot on the Stern [02:14] and navigate the tender process to get ashore.

The Speedboat Adventure: We board a jet boat for a "frantic" but fantastic ride along the coast. Pro-tip: Sit in the front for less splashing! [06:43]

The Blue Cave: We enter a massive rock cave where the sunlight creates a mesmerizing, iridescent blue glow. We watch our fellow passengers take a dip while we stay dry for our walk through town. [07:39]

Our Lady of the Rocks: We visit this unique artificial island built on sunken ships and rocks, featuring a beautiful Roman Catholic church and museum. [11:10]

Kotor Old Town: We explore one of the best-preserved medieval towns on the Adriatic, dodge "timid American" habits in traffic, and find the perfect local beer in a courtyard filled with charm. [14:43]

Whether you're planning your own cruise to Montenegro or you're a fellow traveler looking for the best cave experiences in Europe, we hope this video inspires your next adventure!
