Day 1: Venice, Italy | Embark

Your cruise begins in Venice and transfer to embark on your discovery of Croatia.

Day 2: Rovinj, Croatia

Start your day with a tour of Rovinj. The town’s famous cobbled streets lead to the hilltop church of St. Euphemia. Rovinj is also considered to be a ‘living cultural monument’ because of its vibrant frescoes, museums, and galleries spread through the old town.

Day 3: Zadar

Set on a peninsula, the historic city of Zadar has relics of bygone eras scattered across its landscape. Among the churches and Roman ruins, the Sun Salutation and Sea Organ are two of the city’s more modern, and curious attractions. 

Day 4: Sibenik

Known for its UNESCO World Heritage-listed St. James’ Cathedral and its famous black and orange hat, Sibenik is a city of tradition. The oldest native town in the country, its origins trace back to 1066; you can find history at every turn of its medieval streets and Square of the Four Wells.

Day 5: Hvar

Lying neatly off the coast of Split is the island Hvar. Said to be Croatia’s answer to Saint-Tropez, Hvar Town is home to an elegant shoreline bursting with luxurious yachts and is one of the more glamorous settings in the Adriatic.

Day 6: Split

Enjoy a taste of real Dalmatian life in awe-inspiring Split. Croatia’s second-largest city effortlessly brings together the country’s traditional and contemporary elements. Diocletian’s Palace is an extraordinary example of Roman architecture and features a myriad of hideaway bars and cafes. 

Day 7: Korcula

The sixth-largest island in the Adriatic, Korcula is among the most beloved in Croatia. Its Old Town, referred to by the locals as “Little Dubrovnik”, is a delightful collection of medieval churches, palaces and squares, while the villages of Cara and Smokvica produce the country’s signature dry white wine.

Day 8: Dubrovnik, Croatia | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
As you arrive in Dubrovnik, bid farewell to your crew and fellow passengers as you disembark and are transferred to the airport for your return flight home.

    The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.
