Itinerary

DAY 1:                 DUBROVNIK

You will be transferred from Dubrovnik airport to the port, where embarkation begins at 2pm. Get settled in your cabin before going on a walking tour of Dubrovnik around 17:00h, the “Pearl of Adriatic”. Walk through Stradun – both a street and a square, the most famous place inside the town walls, enlisted as UNESCO’s World Heritage site, where your guide will show you the most interesting sights of Dubrovnik and visit the Franciscan Monastery with its Pharmacy. After returning to ship enjoy a Welcome reception followed by dinner this evening. Overnight in Dubrovnik. (D)

DAY 2:                 DUBROVNIK – ELAPHITI ISLANDS – SLANO

Early in the morning enjoy the magic scenery as the ship cruises around Dubrovnik city walls to continue to one of the Elaphiti islands for a swim stop. Afternoon arrival in Slano, a peaceful fishermen’s village and our starting point to Ston, situated on Peljesac peninsula and once fortified small village famous for its oysters. Peljesac peninsula is known as one of the best wine-producing regions in Croatia. After exploring the town, we leave to a small nearby village to enjoy the authentic local oyster tasting. Overnight and Captain’s dinner on board in Slano. (B,L,D)

DAY 3:                 SLANO – MLJET – KORCULA  

In the morning we head north to the Island of Mljet. Join the Cruise Manager for a stroll to the famous salt lakes in the Mljet National Park.

Overnight in Korčula. (B, L)

DAY 4:                 KORCULA – LASTOVO

Early in the morning we sail to Lastovo. Take a break for a swim during your morning cruise. Continue sailing through lunch, arriving this afternoon in Lastovo, an island known for its Venetian architecture from the 15th and 16th centuries. The island of Lastovo and the Lastovo archipelago, which includes 46 islands, islets, rocks, and reefs, are a nature park in Croatia where the sea is crystal clear, and the sky is full of stars that shine like the most beautiful evening gown. We dock in the port of Ubli where you can enjoy your free time and explore the beauty of the island. From there, a local taxi can take you to the town of Lastovo, where you can visit a local winery and taste some of the indigenous varieties of wine on your own. Overnight in Lastovo. (B, L)

DAY 5:               LASTOVO – HVAR 

In the morning head further towards island of Hvar, the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic, with a swim stop and lunch on board. Join a guided tour of the town of Hvar where you will see many historical sights of the town, such as St Stephen’s Square and Cathedral, the Arsenal with the theatre built on its first floor, the first municipal theatre in Europe. Above Hvar Town is the impressive fortress Fortica offering magnificent views over the bay and Pakleni islands. Overnight in Hvar or Stari Grad. (B, L)

DAY 6:                 HVAR – BISEVO – VIS 

Early in the morning we sail to small island Biševo to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon. Possibility of our visit will depend on weather conditions; however, you will be notified of this on time. Cruise towards the island of Vis once a strategic naval Yugoslav base and restricted to the public. Due to this isolation, Vis has a special charm – “the Mediterranean as it once was” making it interesting to visit. Since the independence of Croatia, the island began opening slowly to the outside world. Some of Europe’s largest and great naval battles had happened in the waters of Vis. Vis Island holds many historic secrets and we will explore Vis history by military Land Rover Defenders. Overnight in the port of Vis. (B, L)

DAY 7:                 VIS – SPLIT

In the morning set sail to Split with a stop along the way to swim and relax, if weather permits, with lunch on board. In the late afternoon we arrive at Split to spend the night.
