Meals included: Dinner

DAY 2 Dubrovnik – Sipan/Slano

This morning, a coach transfer will take you to Dubrovnik’s Old town for a guided walking tour of the “Pearl of the Adriatic” which has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979. After, enjoy some free time to explore the city at your own pace. Perhaps take a cable car ride to Srd Mountain or stroll along the perimeter of the city walls. Return back to the port and leave for the island of Sipan or Slano, both peaceful fishermen’s village. Tonight gather together onboard for a Captain's dinner.

Meals included: Breakfast, lunch and dinner

Note: Both Sipan and Slano are presented as port options as it can depend on dock and lock schedules or weather conditions not allowing to dock at Sipan

DAY 3 Sipan/Slano – Mljet – Korcula

Cruise towards the island of Mljet where upon arrival you will visit Mljet National Park. The park is well known for its versatile eco-system and two salt lakes (‘’Veliko jezero’’- Big Lake and ‘’Malo jezero’’- Small Lake), as well as for Benedictine Monastery from 12th century located on the St Mary’s Islet. You’ll have some free time to take a dip in the lakes, hire bikes or a kayak, or take a relaxing stroll around the park. Return back to the boat for lunch and leave Mljet for the Island of Korcula. The city of Korcula is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the Mediterranean and is thought to be the birthplace of the renowned explorer Marco Polo. After arriving in Korcula in the afternoon, join your guide for a walking tour of Korcula Town. The evening will be at leisure for you to try out some homemade food in one of many restaurants.

Meals included: Breakfast and lunch

DAY 4 Korcula – Vis
Leave Korcula behind this morning and cruise towards the island of Vis. Lunch will be served on board and there will be an opportunity for swim stops along the way. Arrive in Vis Town in the afternoon where you will have free time to explore the town at your own pace. Being closed during the time of ex-Yugoslavia, this wonderful island is still like an unspoiled and preserved oasis. If Vis looks and sounds familiar to you these days, it could be because the island was used as the setting for Mama Mia 2. Spend the afternoon taking in the sights and flavours of the town. There are many excellent restaurants and taverns along the promenade where you can enjoy a glass of local wine and try some fresh seafood which the island is known for.

Meals included: Breakfast and lunch

Note: Tonight's port can be substituted for Komiza if Vis harbour has reached its capacity. This is controlled by the Port Authority.


DAY 5 Vis – Bisevo – Hvar
Set off for the island of Bisevo to witness its famous Blue Cave. This mesmerizing natural attraction is breath-taking as it bathes the cave in luminescent aquamarine light. After a relaxing swim stop and lunch, continue your navigation towards the island of Hvar. Upon arrival in Hvar Town, join a guided walking tour and learn about the city’s rich history, beautiful architecture and important landmarks like the Cathedral of St. Stephen, Spanish Fortress, and the Hvar Arsenal which houses the oldest public theatre in Europe dating back to 1612. Later on you will have free time to try one of the many restaurants, bars and cafes and soak in the nightlife.

Meals included: Breakfast and lunch

Note: Visit to Blue Cave is dependent on weather conditions as sometimes high tide can prevent entry. Your Captain will advise the conditions and accessibility the morning of scheduled visit.
Tonight's port can be substituted for Stari Grad or Jelsa if Hvar harbour has reached its capacity. This is controlled by the Port Authority.


DAY 6 Hvar – Trogir
Your next stop on the cruise will be the historic city of Trogir, another UNESCO World Heritage site. Lunch will be served en route and there will also be an opportunity for a spot of swimming. Arrive in Trogir in the afternoon and join a guided walking tour of a city whose rich history has been influenced by many settlements (including Greek, Roman and Venetian) and is visible on every single step of its beautiful, narrow, cobbled streets. Admire the architecture of Trogir’s most imposing monument, the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, which was built in Romanesque-Gothic style and contains numerous sculptures and works of art from all periods. After the city tour, you will have some time at leisure before returning back to your vessel for a Captain’s dinner.

DAY 7 Trogir – Split
Depart for the last stop on your cruise, the magnificent city of Split. Enjoy lunch on board and a final swim stop before arriving into port.

As the second largest Croatian city, Split is best known for its glorious palace of Roman Emperor Diocletian which is inscribed in list of UNESCO World Heritage sites since 1979.
