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 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 payment on the spot.

Day 3: Mljet National Park | Korcula

This morning, cruise to Mljet and explore National Park (entrance fees are not included), walk around the Great and Small Lake, visit The Islet of St. Mary with its Benedictine Monastery dating from the 12th century, and, of course, take a swim in the heart of this pristine National Park. Lunch will be served on board as you continue your cruise toward the Island of Korcula, where you shall arrive in the afternoon, docking in the Town of Korcula. This historic town is known as the birthplace of Marko Polo, one of the most famous world explorers of all time. Your English-speaking guide will do a Korcula City tour and walk you through the town’s charming narrow and cobbled streets. You have the rest of the evening free to enjoy dining at one of the local restaurants of your choice.

Day 4: Vis

This 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 ending in Komiza, a stunning fishermen’s village, is organized to have dinner in one of the cozy restaurants—reservations and payment on the spot.

Day 5: Biseva Blue Cave | Hvar

Start your day with a morning cruise towards the Island of  Bisevo and its Blue Cave. Originally, the entrance to Blue Cave was located below sea level, requiring visitors to dive deeply to resurface into the cave’s mysterious blue depths. However, at times, high waves prevent the entrance to Blue Cave, which you shall not know before the morning designated for your visit. For this reason, entrance fees are paid on the spot. After a swim stop and lunch on board, continue cruising along many idyllic coves and bays towards Hvar, the sunniest Croatian island.

Hvar is one of the most popular and attractive Croatian tourist destinations and a meeting point for the international jet set. Upon your afternoon arrival at Hvar, a local English-speaking guide will walk you through the town, introducing you to the island’s way of life and its rich history and culture. Afterward, you can enjoy your evening in Hvar, explore independently, and dine in one of its numerous family-owned restaurants or taverns.

Day 6: Bol | Pucisca

Start your day with a morning departure towards Bol. Bol is famous for having one of the finest European beaches, Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape). As you stop in Bol, you can relax in this charming Dalmatian town. Have a walk, a cup of coffee, or a swim until lunch is served on board.

After lunch, continue cruising towards Pucisca, with refreshing swim stops en route and lunch served on board. Pucisca is the biggest village on the island of Brac. Nowhere in the system of towns and villages in Dalmatia does terrain play such a compelling role as in Pucisca. Its spectacular irregularity of steep-sided natural harbor, authentic Mediterranean architecture, and rustic ambiance are unforgettable. Pucisca is also home to the only Croatian Stonemasonry school. Its students carve sculptures from Brac limestone, applying traditional and unconventional tools used here for centuries. You shall spend a night in this very quiet town. Enjoy the nightfall, as it unifies the distinct features of Pucisca that have intrigued you so much in daylight. This evening, have Captain’s dinner on board.

Day 7: Omis | Split

After breakfast, cruise across the Brac channel to Omis, an ancient town with city walls, fortresses, and stone churches. Omis is located at the delta of the Cetina River, with its wonderful beaches. For centuries, Omis was a stronghold of famous pirates,  a symbol of retaliation, courage, and strength in the long historical fight against The Republic of Venice. After a relaxed walk in Omis, have lunch on board.

During the afternoon hours, sail on towards Split, your last stop. Your English-speaking guide will do the afternoon Split City tour and walk you through the historical Diocletian Palace. Croatia's second-largest urban center and the seat of the Split-Dalmatia County, Split boasts 1700 years of history. Since 1979, the historic center of Split has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site List. The city's historical and cultural buildings are located inside the walls of the Diocletian's Palace. After the city tour, explore Split and have an intimate farewell dinner on your own.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
