Dubrovnik to Split

Your ship is docked at Dubrovnik Gruž harbor, and embarkation is available throughout the day. If you arrive in the morning, you can leave your luggage on board, but cabin access begins at 02:00 pm. If the ship is not in port until the evening, the crew takes care of your luggage and organizes an excursion. At 07:00 pm, attend the welcome meeting where the Cruise Manager introduces the crew and fellow passengers. A welcome dinner follows at 07:30 pm. If you arrive late at night, inform the crew in advance so that the Captain can wait and a dinner can be arranged for you.

After breakfast, meet the English-speaking guide and coach at the pier for a tour of Dubrovnik’s historical center, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The guide shows the main sights and provides key information about the city. After the tour, spend some free time exploring Dubrovnik on your own. At 12:00, return to the ship for lunch served on board while sailing toward Slano. A swim stop is planned during the cruise. Slano is a small town on the Dubrovnik Riviera, known for its beaches, pine forests, olive groves, and historical landmarks. An optional excursion to Ston is available for those interested, featuring the town’s old defensive walls, saltworks, and oyster and mussel farms.

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 is 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 conducts 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.

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.

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 walks 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.

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.

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 conducts 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.

After breakfast, the time has come to say farewell to all your new friends.
