Activity options vary depending on destination and operator. Activity level is determined by the range and intensity of activities you choose to participate in. Discuss with your Trip Planner which options are best for you.
Your ship docks in the Split harbor, allowing you to board at any time throughout the day. Passengers arriving in the morning can leave their luggage on board, as cabin access is only available after 02:00 pm. If the ship arrives in the port later in the evening, the crew takes care of your luggage and organizes an excursion for you. At 07:00 pm, a welcome meeting takes place where the Cruise Manager introduces the crew and fellow passengers, followed by a welcome dinner at 07:30 pm. The captain waits for late-night arrivals if notified in advance, ensuring that all late-arriving guests receive dinner.
In the morning, an English-speaking guide leads a walking tour of Split, exploring the historic Diocletian’s Palace. As Croatia’s second-largest city, Split is rich in cultural and historical landmarks, many of which are part of its UNESCO-listed historical center. At 12:00, the ship departs for Trogir, another UNESCO-listed city, with lunch served on board and a swim stop along the way. Arriving in the afternoon, passengers explore Trogir, known for its palaces, churches, and the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, guided by a professional English-speaking guide.
Afterward, have the evening on your own, free to explore or have dinner in one of Trogir’s cozy taverns.
In the morning, sail for 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 indulging in simple pleasures such as taking a walk around this nice little Dalmatian town, perhaps having a cup of coffee or going for a swim, until lunch is served on board. After lunch, continue cruising to Vis. Being an important strategic military stronghold for a long time, Vis was spared 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.
If you are interested, you can join an optional Vis Island excursion, ending in Komiža, a stunning fishing village where you can enjoy dinner in one of the cozy restaurants. You can make reservations and payment on the spot.
Cruise to the Island of Biševo and its Blue Cave, one of the most famous natural attractions in the whole of the Adriatic Sea. Blue Cave is a waterlogged cave that can be approached only by boat. However, at times high waves prevent the entrance to Blue Cave, which is something you shall not know before the morning designated for your visit. In case you can't enter Blue Cave due to such sea conditions, you can get a full ticket refund. After a swim stop and lunch, 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 jetsetters. Upon arrival in Hvar, a local English-speaking guide walks you through this unique city, introducing you to its millennia-long history, culture, and way of life. Afterward, you have the evening to explore and dine in one of the many family-owned restaurants and taverns.
Start your day with a morning departure towards the Island of Korčula. Before lunch, stop for a swim in one of the pristine bays en route. Your arrival on the Island of Korčula is scheduled for the afternoon. The town of Korčula 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.
An English-speaking guide takes you on a tour of Korčula Town, through its narrow, cobbled streets and rich history. Have the rest of the evening free to enjoy dining at one of the local restaurants of your choice.
Sailing out from Korčula in the morning, you cruise toward Mljet National Park. You have just enough time to explore the park, walk around Great and Small Lake and visit the Islet of St. Mary with its Benedictine Monastery from the 12th century or take a swim in the heart of Mljet National Park. Entrance fees to the National Park Mljet are included. Take care to return to the boat for lunch. In the afternoon, continue your cruise to Slano, located on the mainland.
Slano is one of the most picturesque places on the Dubrovnik Riviera, with a beautiful beach, dense pine forest and olive groves, a long cultural tradition and numerous historical monuments. In the evening, you enjoy the Captain’s Dinner on board, accompanied by live music entertainment.
Morning departure to Dubrovnik, passing by the Elaphiti Islands with lunch on board and cruising directly to the historical center of Dubrovnik, the famous city enlisted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cruise along Dubrovnik City walls and fortifications, where you can have a chance to take an unforgettable group photo of breathtaking Dubrovnik.
You disembark directly in the Old Town, where our English-speaking guide shows you the most interesting sights of Dubrovnik. After the city tour, explore the city on your own, visit City Walls, or take the cable car to the top of Mount Srd for an intimate farewell dinner. A return scheduled transfer by coaches to Gruž harbor is organized. You can see why this city is called the Pearl of the Adriatic.

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.
