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.
Depart Dubrovnik's Gruz Harbor at 13:00 (late arrivals may join in Slano). Enjoy lunch on board while sailing along the scenic Dalmatian coast toward either the tranquil Elaphiti island of Sipan or the charming mainland village of Slano. Both are traditional fishing villages known for their serene atmosphere and stunning sunsets. Overnight mooring in port.
Following breakfast, sail to the island of Mljet and its renowned national park (entrance fee payable locally). Enjoy lunch on board before spending free time exploring the park’s tranquil saltwater lakes. Visit the islet in the Large Lake, home to a historic abbey and church, or paddle through the lakes by canoe. Bicycles are also available for hire to cycle the scenic trails around the park. In the late afternoon, continue to Korcula. Join a guided walking tour (included on Premium Superior) through the remarkably preserved old town, encircled by medieval walls and dating back to the 13th century. Overnight in one of Korcula’s ports, subject to availability (main town port, Domince, or the ferry port 3 km away).
Early in the morning, cruise towards the little island of Bisevo and visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon. As sometimes weather conditions can be very unpredictable, the visit depends on prevailing conditions. Entrance to the Blue Cave is not included, to be paid on the spot. The cruise continues towards the island of Vis, which has a unique geographical position and was once a strategic harbor for the Yugoslav navy – it was closed to the public until recently. Because of this very isolation, Vis retained a special charm of ‘the Mediterranean as it once was’ which makes it really interesting to see. Overnight in the town of Vis, situated on the northern side of the island, developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban center in Croatia. If interested, visit the remains of the Roman Thermal Place and City Museum or simply take a walk enjoying the views of the beautiful villae rusticae situated along the waterfront. For those wandering to see more – rent a car or scooter and explore this wonderful island on your own.
The next destination is the tiny island of Scedro near the island of Hvar. Upon arrival, time to relax and refresh in the clean, crystal blue sea. Departure towards Hvar after lunch, followed by an optional guided tour (included on Premium Superior). Hvar is the longest island in the Adriatic. Visit the magnificent Renaissance cathedral with its original tower and the oldest community theater in Europe which was founded here in 1612. Hvar offers plenty of restaurants, bars cafes and clubs, open long into the night. Overnight in the Hvar harbor.
Leave Hvar behind and continue cruising towards the island of Brac, heading to the town of Bol, best known for its famous Zlatni rat beach (Golden Horn), a natural phenomenon that with its distinct shape and form dominates other beaches of Croatia. Directional winds and waves cause the shape of the beach to often change. After the swimming break at the horn, cruise towards Makarska with its Mediterranean feel. During a stroll, discover numerous churches and other architectural and cultural sites. Overnight in port.
Today's destination is Pucisca, a typical Mediterranean village, situated on the northern side of Brac island at the bottom of a deep bay. But before reaching it, stop for swimming and relaxing in some secluded bay along the route. After lunch on board, explore Pucisca, home of the world-famous white stone of Brac. There is a possibility of visiting one of the few stone masonry workshops left in Europe. Overnight in the port with the Captain's dinner onboard (included on Premium Superior & Premium category vessels).
Departure for the last destination, the city of Split, with arrival in the early afternoon. The Old Town of Split is the maze of streets and cobblestoned lanes that surround the 1700-year-old Diocletian's Palace (the Emperor chose this spot for his retirement villa). Both the old town and Diocletian's Palace are under UNESCO protection. People's Square (Narodni Trg) is the heart of the Old Town. Cafes and restaurants spill out into the square and one of the highlights of a visit here is gazing up at the old town clock. On arrival join the guided tour of Split with an English-speaking guide (included on Premium & Premium Superior). Overnight in Split.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
