Itinerary + Map
DAY 1 Dubrovnik - Sipan/Slano
Depart from Gruz harbour in Dubrovnik at 13.00hrs, towards the Elaphiti islands. Relax as you have lunch onboard before arriving in Sipan or Slano, both peaceful fisherman villages where you can enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure.
Meals included: Lunch
DAY 2 Sipan/Slano - Mljet - Korcula
After breakfast, cruise to Mljet, where you have the option to visit the National Park. Enjoy the tranquillity and scenery while exploring the two salt lakes connected by a narrow channel to the sea. You can also take a boat ride to St. Mary's Isle in the Great Lake, where an old church and monastery are situated. After lunch, continue to Korcula, the supposed birthplace of the famous explorer and adventurer Marco Polo. Surrounded by medieval walls, Korcula resembles a miniature verwsion Dubrovnik when approaching it from the sea. In the late afternoon, enjoy a guided sightseeing tour through the streets of the old town built in the shape of a fish bone. The evening is free to visit the numerous konobas/ taverns located within and around the city walls.
Please note: Should the port of Korcula be at full capacity, the ship will overnight at the ferry port (Domince port) approx. 3km away.
Meals included: Breakfast and lunch
DAY 3 Korcula - Bisevo - Vis
This morning, cruise towards Bisevo and its stunning Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon where you will have the option to take a small boat tour to explore inside. Continue towards the island of Vis which due to its unique geographical position, was formerly a strategic stronghold for the navy. Closed to the public until 1989, Vis has remained relatively untouched by tourism and development and has retained much of its authentic charm. Developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia, there are ruins to visit or simply relax at the beach or stroll along the 'Villae Rusticae'.
Please 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.
Meals included: Breakfast and lunch
DAY 4 Vis - Hvar
Your next destination is the island of Scedro, near Hvar where you will have time to relax and refresh in the clean, crystal blue water. After lunch, cruise to Hvar Town, the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic. Join a guided sightseeing tour of this special place to see the Renaissance Cathedral with its original tower and the oldest community theatre in Europe founded in 1612. The evening is free to discover the town's many restaurants and bars.
Meals included: Breakfast and lunch
DAY 5 Hvar - Brac - Makarska
Today, continue to Brac and the town of Bol, a typical Dalmatian fisherman's village. Bol is best known for its famous Zlatni Rat beach (Golden Horn), a beach that is constantly changing shape due to tides and winds. After a swim stop, continue towards Makarska which has an abundance of churches and other cultural sites. Enjoy the magic of this central spot on the Makarska Riviera, strolling among the many restaurants and bars and an interesting beach promenade.
Meals included: Breakfast and lunch
DAY 6 Makarska - Brac
In the morning, head towards Pucisca also on the island of Brac, where you will experience the village’s authentic Mediterranean architecture and rustic ambience. There is a possible optional tour to visit the Stonemasonry workshop, one of the few workshops remaining in Europe. Learn about the famous Brac limestone and their centuries-old tradition of stonemasonry and the unconventional tools used. The precious limestone from this region have been used to decorate the facade of the White House in Washington DC, the Budapest Parliament Building and many other landmarks all over the world. Gather together for a Captain's dinner on board tonight.
Meals included: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
DAY 7 Brac - Trogir
