Day 1: Dubrovnik | Embark

The ship will be docked at Dubrovnik Gruz Harbor, with embarkation available throughout the day. Passengers arriving in the morning can leave their luggage on board. However, cabin access will only be available after 14:00. If the ship is not yet in port by the evening, the team will securely handle your luggage and arrange an excursion.

At 19:00, join a welcome meeting where the Cruise Manager will introduce the crew and your fellow travelers. A welcome dinner will follow at 19:30.

The captain will wait for guests arriving late at night, provided you inform them in advance. A complimentary dinner will be available for all late arrivals.

Day 2: Dubrovnik | Slano

After breakfast, your English-speaking guide and a coach will meet you at the pier to tour Dubrovnik's historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discover the city's most captivating landmarks as your guide shares its rich history. Following the tour, you can explore Dubrovnik at your own pace, soaking in the charm of the "Pearl of the Adriatic."

At 12:00-13:00 p.m., transfer back to the ship. Enjoy lunch on board as you sail towards Slano on the mainland, with a refreshing swim stop along the way. Slano is a picturesque gem of the Dubrovnik Riviera, known for its beautiful beaches, lush pine forests, olive groves, rich cultural heritage, and historical landmarks.

For those interested, an optional excursion will be organized to the fortified town of Ston. Ston is renowned for its impressive 5-kilometer-long defensive walls, ancient salt pans, and oyster and mussel farms. Reservations and payments can be made on-site.

Day 3: Mljet National Park | Korcula

Your day starts with a morning departure towards Mljet National Park. When you arrive there, you have just enough time to explore the park, walk around the Great and Small Lakes, visit the Islet of St. Mary with its Benedictine Monastery from the 12th century, and, of course, take a swim in the heart of the National Park. Entrance fees to Mljet National Park are included. With lunch served on board, you sail for the Island of Korcula, arriving there in the afternoon. The town of Korcula is the island’s main settlement and is known as the birthplace of Marco Polo, one of the world’s most famous explorers of all time. Your English-speaking guide will take you on a tour of Korcula Town through its narrow and cobbled streets and rich history. You can have the rest of the evening free to enjoy dining at one of the local restaurants of your choice overnight in Korcula Historical Town.

Day 4: Vis

In the morning, cruise to the Island of Vis, with lunch on board and a swim stop en route. Arrival to Vis is scheduled for the afternoon. Compared to other Adriatic islands, Vis is rather unique. Being an important strategic military stronghold for centuries, Vis was spared the excessive tourist development and thus retained its unspoiled beaches, ecological agriculture, and traditional architecture. Enjoy the afternoon exploring the town of Vis, its picturesque stone streets, pristine beaches, and fine taverns. For all interested, an optional Vis Island excursion will be organized, ending in Komiza, a stunning fishermen’s village, where you can have dinner in one of the cozy restaurants. Reservations and payment on the spot. Overnight in Vis Town.

Day 5: Bisevo Blue Cave | Hvar

Today, cruise to the Island of Bisevo and its Blue Cave, one of the most famous natural attractions in the Adriatic Sea. Blue Cave is a water-logged cave that can be approached only by boat. However, sometimes high waves prevent the entrance to Blue Cave, which you shall not know before the time designated for your visit. If you can’t enter Blue Cave due to such sea conditions, you can get a full refund for the ticket. After a swim stop and lunch on board, continue cruising along many coves and bays towards Hvar, the sunniest Croatian island. Hvar is one of the country’s most attractive tourist destinations and a meeting point for international jet setters. Upon arriving at Hvar, a local English-speaking guide will walk you through this unique city, introducing you to its millennia-long history, culture, and way of life. Afterward, you can have an evening to explore and dine in one of the numerous family-owned restaurants and taverns, overnight in Hvar Historical Town.

Day 6: Bol | Trogir

In the morning, cruise towards Bol, a place best known for its beach of Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape), which regularly hits the top lists of the most beautiful European beaches. Once you stop in Bol, you can enjoy simple pleasures such as walking around this nice little Dalmatian town, perhaps having a cup of coffee, or swimming until lunch is served on board. After lunch, continue cruising towards Trogir, another city inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, arriving there during the afternoon. This town's museum is packed with palaces, churches, monasteries, and towers. A professional English-speaking guide will take you on a city tour of Trogir. Afterward, you can have some time alone, free to explore. This evening, have Captain's Dinner on board, along with live music entertainment. Overnight in Trogir.

Day 7: Split

In the morning, sail out for Split, your last port on this cruise, with a swim stop along the way. After lunch, your English-speaking guide will do an afternoon Split City tour, walking you through the world-famous Diocletian's Palace. Split is Croatia's second-largest urban center and the seat of Split-Dalmatia County. Over 1700 years old, Split abounds with cultural and historical sights, many of them situated within the Split's historical nucleus, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List ever since 1979. After the city tour, explore this lively and bustling Mediterranean city on your own and enjoy an intimate farewell dinner. Overnight in Split.
