ITINERARY + MAP

DAY 1 Split
Your cruise commences with an arrival transfer to your ship with embarkation possible from 14:00hr, where you can check in and settle in to your cabin. Later, be introduced to Split on a walking tour of its historic centre built around the 4th century Diocletian’s Palace. See Jupiter's Temple, the Peristyle and touch the toe of the Gregory of Nin statue for good luck! Tonight, sit back and get to know your fellow companions while you enjoy an on board welcome reception and dinner.

Meals included: Dinner

DAY 2 Split - Brac - Hvar
Set sail this morning, cruising through the stunning Dalmatian Islands to the Island of Brac where you will stop in the town of Bol, where you have the chance for a refreshing swim at the iconic Zlatni Rat (also known as Golden Horn beach). After, cruise towards Hvar Island, enjoying a swim stop along the way before arriving at the charming town of Jelsa, situated on the northern side of Hvar Island, where you will spend the night.

Meals included: Breakfast and lunch

DAY 3 Hvar
Your Hvar experience begins with an introduction to island life, exploring the small fishing village of Vrboska and Stari Grad on guided walking tours. Drive into the vineyard-covered hills, olive groves and undulating fields of rosemary and lavender (seasonal) on the way to the family run farm Hora Estate. Here, relax and admire the view over some wine tasting and a traditional Peka lunch. In the afternoon, meet your ship and sail around the island to Hvar Town for a guided walking tour of this historical centre. The remainder of the evening is then free to explore, perhaps climbing to the top of the Spanish Fortress for scenic views over the town and out to sea before experiencing the vibrant nightlife of this popular Adriatic hot spot.

Meals included: Breakfast and lunch
Note: The ship may not be able to dock until 7-8pm tonight in Hvar Town.

DAY 4 Hvar - Vis
Continue your cruise with a stop for a refreshing swim in the warm waters of the Adriatic on the way to beautiful Vis Island. Until the late 80’s Vis was closed to tourists and served as a military zone for the Yugoslav army, because of this and coupled with its remoteness, it has helped preserve the island's authenticity. Enjoy time in Vis Town to experience the island's local food and wine, discover Greek and Roman ruins or simply marvel in the beauty of this island that featured in the movie Mama Mia 2.

Meals included: Breakfast and lunch
Note: The port of call in Vis can be substituted for Komiza because of the limited capacity in the harbour of Vis Town.

DAY 5 Vis - Bisevo - Korcula
This morning cruise to Bisevo Island’s incredible Blue Cave, its silvery blue waters create a unique otherworldly natural phenomenon that are a must to see. Afterwards, enjoy lunch on board and a relaxing swim stop on the way to the island of Korcula. Cruise along the length of the island to enchanting Korcula Town where, on a walking tour, you will see the mighty fortress and city walls and learn about the infamous Marco Polo and his connection to this island.

Meals included: Breakfast and lunch
Note: The Blue Cave is only accessible with small boats through an entrance just 1.5m high so it is unfortunately sometimes made inaccessible by bad weather and high waves.

DAY 6 Korcula - Mljet - Slano
Depart Korcula early and continue your journey to Mljet, one of Adriatic’s prettiest islands. Embrace the relaxed atmosphere and unspoilt beauty of the National Park, its two unique salt water lakes and medieval monastery. Continue this afternoon to the quaint fisherman's village of Slano, where your day ends with dinner and live Klapa music with the Captain, the perfect chance to get to share stories with new friends.

Meals included: Breakfast, lunch and dinner

DAY 7 Slano - Dubrovnik
Cruise the final stretch to Dubrovnik, the Jewel of the Adriatic, enjoying a scenic swim stop and lunch on board before your arrival. In the afternoon, join your local guide on a walking tour of the walled city, a UNESCO-listed site. Surrounded by ramparts and fortresses, stroll the Stradun and admire the treasure trove of architectural facades and cultural masterpieces such as the Rector's Palace and the Franciscan Monastery which houses the third oldest pharmacy in Europe.

Meals included: Breakfast and lunch

DAY 8 Dubrovnik
Your cruise concludes with a departure transfer for your onward journey.

Meals included: Breakfast
