Day 1: Dubrovnik | Embark

Transfer from Dubrovnik Airport to Gruz Harbor for check‑in from 14:00 onward. Once settled, transfer to the Old Town gates for a guided walking tour. Stroll the narrow, car‑free limestone streets, polished smooth by centuries of footsteps, while exploring the city’s Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture. Ride the cable car from the Old Town to Mount Srd for panoramic views of Dubrovnik’s imposing ramparts and the Elaphiti Islands. After the tour, return to the vessel to meet the crew and enjoy welcome cocktails and dinner on board, celebrating the start of your Adriatic voyage. Overnight in Dubrovnik.

Day 2: Dubrovnik | Slano (Ston)

Depart for the small mainland village of Slano, taking in the scenic views while sailing past Dubrovnik’s city walls before stopping at one of the Elaphiti Islands for a refreshing swim. Arrive in Slano in the afternoon, a tranquil fishing village and gateway to Ston, a once‑fortified settlement renowned for its oysters. Explore Ston’s impressive medieval ramparts, then continue to a nearby village to learn about oyster farming and enjoy a tasting of this local delicacy. Enjoy some leisure time before returning to the vessel for the Captain’s Dinner with live entertainment. Overnight 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! Overnight in port Polaca or Pomena.

Day 4: Mljet | Korcula

Early morning departure towards the island of Korcula best known as the birthplace of Marco Polo. Stop for lunch in one of the secluded bays en route. Afternoon arrival in Korcula Town followed by a guided walking tour of this enchanting place surrounded by walls and one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the Mediterranean. Fishbone street pattern was used in the design of Korcula Old Town for a natural cooling effect and it provides citizens with sheltered and comfortable accommodation. Korcula 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 Korcula Town for a typical Dalmatian dinner and learn about the history and traditional way of living. Overnight in Korcula.

Day 5: Korcula | Vis

Continue to the island of Vis, once, in the 4th century BC, one of the main Greek colonies. Vis is relatively under the radar for tourists. For a long time, it was in use as a Yugoslavian army base – until 1991. As a result, the culture and architecture are extremely well preserved. Rosemary, capers and sage grow wild around the island. Try some exquisite local wines. If interested, visit the remains of the Roman thermal place, City museum or simply take a walk enjoying the views of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the waterfront. Overnight in the port of Vis.

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

Early in the morning, cruising resumes towards the small island of Bisevo 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, the team will notify you 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 its 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 in the port.

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

Morning departure to Brac Island for a refreshing swim at Zlatni Rat, the most famous beach in Dalmatia, known for its ever-changing shape shaped by wind and waves. Explore Bol, a charming former fishing village turned popular seaside destination while retaining its authentic charm. Continue to Trogir, a UNESCO-protected historic town, and enjoy a guided city tour upon arrival in the early afternoon. Wander through its maze of cobbled streets, admire its stunning medieval architecture, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere. Overnight in Trogir (Marina Baotic).

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
