M/S Ambassador docks at Dubrovnik Gruz harbor, and passengers can board at any time during the day. Those arriving in the morning can leave their luggage on the ship, but cabins are ready after 02:00 pm. If the ship hasn’t arrived yet, luggage is safely stored, and an excursion is arranged. A welcome meeting starts at 07:00 pm, where the Cruise Manager introduces the crew and other guests, followed by dinner at 07:30 pm. The captain waits for all passengers arriving late at night, but must be notified in advance. All late-arriving guests receive dinner.

Day 2: Dubrovnik | Slano

After breakfast, a guide and coach take you to Dubrovnik’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore key sights before enjoying free time to visit the City Walls or take a cable car to Mount Srđ for panoramic views. A return transfer is scheduled between 12:30-1:00 pm, followed by lunch onboard and sailing to Slano, a scenic town on the Dubrovnik Riviera, known for its beaches, pine forests, olive groves, rich culture, and historical monuments.

If you're interested, you can join an optional excursion to Ston, a fortified town with 5-kilometer walls, historic saltworks, and oyster and mussel farms. You can reserve and pay on the spot.

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 Lake, visit the Islet of St. Mary with its Benedictine Monastery from the 12th century and, of course, take a swim in the heart of National Park.

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 unspoilt beaches, ecological agriculture and traditional architecture. Enjoy 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.

Overnight in Vis Town

Day 5: Bisevo Blue Cave | Hvar

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.

Overnight in Hvar Historical Town

Day 6: Bol | Trogir

In the morning, you 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. When you stop in Bol, you can enjoy simple pleasures such as taking a walk around this nice little Dalmatian town, perhaps having a cup of coffee or a swim, until lunch is served on board.
After lunch, you continue cruising towards Trogir, another city inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, arriving there in the afternoon. This town – museum is literally packed with palaces, churches, monasteries and towers. A professional English speaking guide takes you for a city tour of Trogir.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
