Dubrovnik to Split

Your ship docks in Dubrovnik Gruz harbor, and embarkation is open throughout the day. If you arrive in the morning, you can leave your luggage on board, though cabins are available after 2:00 PM. If the ship is not yet in port, your luggage is safely stored and an excursion is arranged for you.

Join the welcome meeting at 7:00 PM, where the Cruise Manager introduces the crew and your fellow guests. Welcome dinner follows at 7:30 PM. The Captain waits for all passengers arriving late at night, but notification in advance is required. Dinner is provided.

After breakfast, your English-speaking guide and coach meet you at the pier for a tour of Dubrovnik's historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the city's famous sights, then enjoy free time to further discover the Pearl of the Adriatic. At 12:00 PM, transfer back to the ship for lunch as you head to Slano, located on the mainland, with a swim stop along the way. Slano is known for its beautiful beaches, pine forests, olive groves, and rich cultural history. An optional excursion to Ston, famous for its 5-kilometer-long walls and ancient saltworks, is available for those interested. Reservations and payment are made on the spot.

This morning, cruise to Mljet where you are free to explore the National Park (entrance fees not included), walk around the Great and Small Lake, visit the Islet of St. Mary with its 12th-century Benedictine Monastery, and take a swim in the heart of this pristine park. Lunch is served on board as the cruise continues toward the Island of Korčula, arriving in the afternoon and docking in the Town of Korčula. This historic town is known as the birthplace of Marko Polo, one of the most famous explorers of all time. An English-speaking guide leads a city tour and walks you through the town’s charming, narrow, cobbled streets. Enjoy the rest of the evening dining at a local restaurant of your choice.

In the morning, cruise to the Island of Vis, with lunch served on board and a swim stop along the way. Arrive in Vis in the afternoon. Compared to other Adriatic islands, Vis is unique. As an important strategic military stronghold for centuries, Vis has been spared excessive tourist development and retains its unspoiled beaches, ecological agriculture, and traditional architecture. Spend the afternoon exploring the town of Vis, its picturesque stone streets, pristine beaches, and fine taverns. For those interested, an optional Vis Island excursion is available, including a visit to Komiza, a stunning fishermen's village.

Start your day with a morning cruise toward the Island of Bisevo and its Blue Cave. Originally, the entrance to the Blue Cave is located below sea level, requiring visitors to dive deeply to resurface into the cave’s mysterious blue depths. At times, high waves prevent entrance to the Blue Cave, which cannot be confirmed until the morning of the 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 toward Hvar, the sunniest Croatian island.

Hvar is one of the most popular and attractive Croatian tourist destinations and a meeting point of the international jet set. Upon afternoon arrival at Hvar, a local English-speaking guide walks you through the town, introducing the island’s way of life, its rich history, and culture. After the tour, enjoy your evening in Hvar, explore on your own, and dine in one of its many family-owned restaurants or taverns.

Start your day with a morning departure toward Bol. Bol is famous for having one of the finest European beaches, called Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape). As you stop in Bol, relax in this charming Dalmatian town. Take a walk, enjoy a cup of coffee, or swim until lunch is served on board.

After lunch, continue cruising toward Pucisca, with refreshing swim stops along the way. 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 ambience are simply unforgettable. Pucisca is also home to the only Croatian Stonemasonry School. Its students carve sculptures from Brac limestone, using traditional and unconventional tools that have been used here for centuries. Spend the night in this very quiet town. Enjoy the nightfall, as it unifies the distinct features of Pucisca that intrigue you in daylight. This evening, enjoy the 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 sits at the delta of the Cetina River, known for its wonderful beaches. For centuries, Omis stands as 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, enjoy lunch on board. In the afternoon, sail toward Split, the final stop. An English-speaking guide leads the afternoon Split City tour and walks you through the historical Diocletian’s Palace. As the second largest urban center in Croatia 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 Diocletian’s Palace. After the city tour, explore Split at your own pace and enjoy an intimate farewell dinner independently.

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