Definitely do the land tour. You'll see a lot more interesting things. The problem with a cruise is that they can only take you a certain distance from the port because of travel time. With a land tour they can take you directly to a sight (or site).
[The only advantage of a cruise is that you unpack once. If you have mobility problems, take the cruise. Otherwise, go for the land tour.
We originally signed up for a cruise along the coast. But after looking closely at what we would see on the cruise, compared to what we would see on the land tour, we switched to the land tour. If you're going to fly all that way, you want to see the most you can - and the most interesting things.]

We did the land tour in 2019. You can see pictures and text of our tour at - https://www.mikeandjudytravel.com/2019-2Adriatic-01.htm

Mike - Unpacking once wouldn’t be the only advantage of the cruise. Here are a couple of other examples (IMO):
I’d say starting and ending in the same city - Venice would be an advantage in arranging transportation to/from the states
I’d say if you’re adverse to long coach rides then the cruise would be the way to go
If you want to see things in Hvar or Korcula (on islands) then the cruise is your trip.
Suzheller- this is a classic Forum question. It’s almost like asking if they prefer Pepsi or Coke. 😁
