Day 1: Venice, Italy | Embark

Begin your Croatian journey in the iconic city of Venice, where you transfer to your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht for a curated itinerary focused on history, culture, and coastal landscapes.

Please book your flight to arrive into Venice prior to 04:00 PM.

Day 2: Rovinj, Croatia

Rovinj, located on Croatia’s Istrian Peninsula, reflects strong Italian influence through its narrow streets, vibrant facades, and scenic harbor. This charming, walkable town features local art galleries, intimate squares, and a waterfront lined with traditional fishing boats.

Included Excursion

Walking tour of Rovinj
Discover one of the most picturesque Istrian towns on a guided walking tour—the ideal way to intimately experience local life. Rovinj, believed to be one of the most photogenic towns in the Mediterranean, evolved from a fishing village into a captivating tourist destination. The main Church of St. Euphemia showcases exquisite Baroque architecture, making it a highlight in Istria. Your guide will lead you through well-preserved medieval streets, offering insights into local life across different eras. 
Activity Level: Moderate, Duration: 2 hours

Day 3: Sibenik, Croatia

Today, visit Sibenik, nestled in a sea inlet on Croatia’s Adriatic coast. The origins of Sibenik date back to 1066 and there is a plethora of architectural styles to admire. Don’t miss the UNESCO World Heritage-listed St James’ Cathedral, crafted from white stone – just take the stairs from the Riva, the seaside promenade. 

Day 4: Trogir, Croatia

The tiny town of Trogir is a hidden gem, located on a small island between the mainland and Ciovo Island. For some of the most spectacular views of this photogenic town, climb the tower of the Cathedral of St Lawrence — it's the highest building in Trogir.

Day 5: Vis, Croatia

The island of Vis, off the Croatian mainland, was closed to visitors until 1989. This has given Vis a rare sense of peace and authenticity. Its rocky coastline, azure waters and Venetian architecture made it the ideal backdrop of the film ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.’ (2018). As the afternoon rolls in, it’s time to set sail to Hvar.

EmeraldPLUS

On board performance
Growing up in Hvar, a group of friends was inspired by the soothing melodies of traditional Dalmatian songs and founded Klapa Galešnik in 2002, with the intention of dedicating themselves more seriously to a cappella singing. Their debut performance took place at the Dalmatian Klapa Festival in Omiš in 2003. Since that time, their performances have consistently enriched the cultural landscape of Hvar and its surrounding regions. The group is led by Professor Tomi Domancic. 
Duration: 1 hour

Day 6: Hvar, Croatia

The heart of island paradise Hvar is the Old Town — while it’s become a modern-day hotspot, it’s layered in history and architectural wonder. The town of Hvar is a photogenic jumble of whitewashed buildings with sun-kissed red roofs, and beyond the town are rolling hills peppered with lavender fields, olive groves, and grapevines. 

EmeraldACTIVE

Uphill hike to the Spanish fortress
Begin your hiking tour with a stroll through the charming old town. Pass through the main city gate, known as the Porta di Datallo, and ascend the stairs into the historical heart of the city. Continue your journey towards Hvar's fortress, known locally as Fortica or Španjola. Once you cross the town walls, enjoy a gentle ascent along a tree-lined hillside leading to the fortress.  
Activity Level: Strenuous, Duration: 2 hours

Day 7: Korcula, Croatia

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. Sail to Dubrovnik later in the day. 

Day 8: Dubrovnik, Croatia | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
Your Emerald Cruises voyage concludes in the grand, historic city of Dubrovnik. From the yacht, transfer to the airport for your journey home or to continue your holiday.

Please book your flight to depart out of Dubrovnik after 11:00 AM.
