Day 1: Dubrovnik | Embark

The ship docks in Dubrovnik Gruz harbor, allowing boarding throughout the day. If arriving in the morning, cabin access remains unavailable until 14:00, but feel free to leave your luggage safely on board. Should the vessel not arrive in port until the evening, arranged luggage storage and an organized excursion are provided for your convenience. At 19:00, attend a welcome gathering where the Cruise Manager introduces the dedicated crew alongside fellow passengers. Following this introduction, enjoy a delicious welcome dinner served at 19:30. For those arriving late at night, the crew remains on standby to greet guests, provided advance notice is given, and a light snack is offered upon boarding. Spend the first night resting comfortably docked in Dubrovnik.

Day 2: Dubrovnik | Slano

After breakfast, an English-speaking guide and a coach arrive at the pier to begin the day's adventure. Travel to the historical center of Dubrovnik, a celebrated UNESCO World Heritage Site. As the walking tour unfolds, the guide reveals the most captivating sights of this stunning city, widely known as "The Pearl of the Adriatic." A return coach transfer takes place between 12:00 and 13:00.

Once back on the ship, savor a delicious lunch while setting sail for the mainland coastal haven of Slano. This picturesque destination on the Dubrovnik Riviera boasts a beautiful beach, dense pine forests, and tranquil olive groves. For further exploration, an optional excursion to Ston is available. Discover this fortified town famous for its impressive five-kilometer-long walls, historic saltworks, and fresh oyster and mussel farms, with reservations and payments arranged directly on the spot. Conclude the day by spending a peaceful night docked in Slano.

Day 3: Mljet National Park | Korcula

This morning, cruise to Mljet, where your time is free to explore Mljet National Park (entrance fees are not included and can be purchased on site). Walk around the Great and Small Lakes, visit the Islet of St. Mary with its 12th-century Benedictine monastery, and, of course, take a swim in the heart of this pristine national park.

Lunch is served onboard as the journey continues toward the island of Korčula, arriving in the afternoon to dock in Korčula Town. This historic town is famously known as the birthplace of Marco Polo, one of the most renowned world explorers of all time.

An English-speaking guide leads a Korčula city tour, walking you through the town’s charming, narrow cobbled streets. Enjoy the rest of the evening at your leisure to dine at a local restaurant of your choice. Overnight in Korcula Historical Town.

Day 4: Island of Vis

In the morning, cruise to the island of Vis, with lunch served onboard and a swim stop en route. Arrival in Vis is scheduled for the afternoon.

Compared to other Adriatic islands, Vis is unique. Serving as an important strategic military stronghold for centuries, Vis was spared excessive tourist development, retaining its unspoiled beaches, ecological agriculture, and traditional architecture. Enjoy 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 Komiža, a charming fishing village. Reservations and payment are handled on the spot. Overnight in Vis Town.

Day 5: Bisevo Blue Cave | Hvar

Today, cruise to the island of Bisevo and its Blue Cave, one of the most famous natural attractions in the Adriatic Sea. The Blue Cave is a sea cave that can only be accessed by boat. However, high waves may occasionally prevent entry, which cannot be determined in advance of the scheduled visit. For this reason, entrance fees are payable on the spot.

After a swim stop and lunch onboard, continue cruising past numerous coves and bays toward Hvar, the sunniest Croatian island and one of the country’s most attractive tourist destinations, known as a meeting point for international jet-setters.

Upon arrival in Hvar, a local English-speaking guide leads a walking tour of this unique city, introducing its rich history, culture, and way of life. After the tour, enjoy the evening at leisure to explore and dine at one of the many family-owned restaurants and traditional taverns. Overnight in Hvar Historical Town.

Day 6: Bol | Pucisca

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

After lunch, continue cruising toward Pucisca, with refreshing swim stops en route. Pucisca is the largest 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. The spectacular irregularity of its steep-sided natural harbor, authentic Mediterranean architecture, and rustic ambiance are simply unforgettable.

Pucisca is also home to the only Croatian stonemasonry school. Students carve sculptures from Brac limestone, applying traditional and unconventional tools used here for centuries. Spend the night in this very quiet town. Enjoy nightfall as it unifies the distinct features of Pucisca that captivate so many in the daylight.

This evening, experience the Captain’s Dinner onboard. Overnight in Pucisca.

Day 7: Split | Omis

Enjoy a morning departure to Split, where an English-speaking guide leads a city tour and walks you through the historical Diocletian’s Palace. Split boasts 1,700 years of history and is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The city’s historical and cultural buildings are located inside the walls of Diocletian’s Palace.

After the tour, lunch is served onboard while cruising to Omis, an ancient town with city walls, fortresses, and stone churches. Known as a stronghold for famous pirates, Omis stands as a symbol of retaliation, courage, and strength in the long historical fight against the Republic of Venice. Enjoy the evening at leisure. Overnight in Omis.

Day 8: Omis | Split | Disembark

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!
