Day 1: Dubrovnik | Embark

Enjoy a seamless transfer from the Dubrovnik airport to Gruž harbor, where check-in begins from 14:00 onwards. Once comfortably settled into your cabin, head to the historic city gates to begin an engaging guided tour of Dubrovnik. Meander through the narrow, car-free limestone streets—worn smooth by centuries of footsteps—while exploring the stunning Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture. Take the cable car from the Old Town up to Mount Srđ to capture spectacular scenic views of the mighty city ramparts and the distant Elaphiti Islands. Following the excursion, return to the vessel to meet the dedicated crew, enjoy a refreshing welcome cocktail, and savor a delicious onboard dinner to toast the exciting cruise week ahead. Conclude the first day with a peaceful overnight stay right in the port of Dubrovnik.

Day 2: Dubrovnik | Slano (Ston)

Depart for the small mainland village of Slano, taking in the magical scenery while cruising past the historic Dubrovnik city walls. Along the way, enjoy a refreshing swim stop anchored near one of the beautiful Elaphiti Islands. Arrive in the afternoon at Slano, a peaceful fishing village serving as the gateway to Ston, a formerly fortified town renowned for its fresh oysters. After exploring Ston's impressive medieval ramparts, travel to a nearby village to learn about local oyster farming and taste this regional delicacy. Enjoy some time at leisure before transferring back to the vessel for a restful overnight stay in Slano.

Day 3: Slano (Ston) | Mljet

In the morning, the cruise continues further north to the Island of Mljet. The legend says Greek hero Odysseus spent years on this island when he was captured by the nymph Calypso. Join the cruise manager for a stroll to the famous salt lakes in the Mljet National Park and enjoy the boat ride to St Mary Isle to visit an ancient Benedictine monastery, an old abbey and a Church dating back to the 12th Century. Alternatively, you can rent kayaks, bicycles, scooters or convertible cars to roam around the National Park or island on your own, but beware of the nymphs! In the evening, be ready for the Captain’s dinner with live entertainment on board. Overnight in port Polača or Pomena.

Day 4: Mljet | Korcula

Early morning departure towards the island of Korčula, best known as the birthplace of Marco Polo. Stop for lunch in one of the secluded bays en route. Afternoon arrival in Korčula Town, followed by a guided walking tour of this enchanting and one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the Mediterranean. The fishbone street pattern was used in the design of Korčula Old Town for a natural cooling effect, and it provides citizens with sheltered and comfortable accommodation. Korčula has an abundant choice of restaurants to enjoy a gourmet experience and numerous bars for those looking for evening entertainment. Optional excursion to a small village near Korčula Town for a typical Dalmatian dinner and learn about the history and traditional way of living. Overnight in one of the ports of Korčula, depending on availability (main port in the town center/ port of Dominče / ferry port (3 km away).

Day 5: Korcula | Vis

Continue to the island of Vis, once, in the 4th century BC, one of the main Greek colonies. Vis remains relatively under the radar for tourists, partly because it served as a Yugoslav military base until 1991. That long isolation left the island’s culture and architecture remarkably well preserved. Rosemary, capers and sage grow wild across the landscape, adding to its quiet, authentic charm. Try some exquisite local wines, and if you’re up for exploring, visit the remains of the Roman thermal baths or the City Museum. A stroll along the waterfront reveals the remains of ancient villae rusticae and the timeless island atmosphere. Overnight stay is planned in Vis or Komiža (subject to berth availability), both offering a genuine taste of the island’s character.

Day 6: Vis | Bisevo (Blue Cave) | Hvar

Early in the morning, cruising resumes towards the small island of Biševo to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon (entrance fee to be paid on the spot). As sometimes weather conditions can be very unpredictable, the possibility of a cave visit will depend on those conditions, however, you be notified in time. Continue towards the jet-set island of Hvar with a swimming stop and lunch on board at the Pakleni Islands. Hvar, the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic is known for glorious lavender fields and breath-taking beauty. Arrive in the afternoon for the guided tour of Hvar - visit the Renaissance cathedral with its original tower, and the oldest community theater in Europe founded in 1612. Hike up the zig-zag path to the town fort overlooking the harbor for lovely scenic views of the vessel and the Paklinski Islands. Hvar offers an abundance of entertainment in the evening - numerous restaurants, bars and clubs, many open long into the night. Overnight stay is planned in Hvar or Stari Grad (subject to berth availability), both offering a genuine taste of the island’s character.

Day 7: Hvar | Bol | Trogir (Marina Baotic)

Early morning departure towards the island of Brač and the town 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. In the afternoon, sail towards Marina Baotić, arriving in time for a transfer to Trogir. Enjoy a guided sightseeing tour of this UNESCO-listed town, followed by leisure time to explore its picturesque streets and choose a restaurant for dinner. For those who prefer a later meal, Marina Baotić offers dining options, including a restaurant, pizzeria, and bar. Return transfer to Marina Baotić. Overnight in Marina Baotić.

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!
