Dubrovnik Discovery Cruise (KL5) | 8 Days

DAY 1:                                DUBROVNIK         

Check-in from 14:00pm onwards at the Gruž harbour. The first overnight is in Dubrovnik. This is a world famous and rather special place, where the old town and many of the buildings have remained (some barely changed) from the time of the ancient Dubrovnik Republic. Many of the historic and cultural buildings belong to the architecture of the Renaissance period with some traces of the Gothic style too. In the evening, we suggest a walk around the famous ramparts, as well as a drink or two in one of the many bars on the popular Stradun. Dinner onboard and overnight in Dubrovnik. (D)

DAY 2:                                DUBROVNIK – MLJET                   

After breakfast, cruise towards the Mljet National Park (entrance fee to be paid on the spot). Lunch onboard. Mljet is a beautiful, tranquil island and the whole afternoon is at leisure to enjoy and explore the beautiful nature with seawater lakes. In the middle of the large lake, inside the National Park, there is an old abbey and church to visit, or rent a small boat to roam around the Mljet National Park. Bicycles can also be hired to cycle the paths that surround the lakes. Overnight in the port Pomena. (B, L)

DAY 3:                                MLJET – HVAR       

Morning departure towards the little island of Šćedro, located off the south coast of the island of Hvar, where we will have time to relax and refresh in the clean, crystal-blue sea. After lunch, departure for Hvar. Hvar is the longest island in the Adriatic and officially the sunniest! The Renaissance cathedral with its original tower, the oldest community theatre in Europe, founded here in 1612 and the lovely horseshoe-shaped harbour are the main attractions. Join the guided tour of the old town (included on Premium Superior). Hvar town offers plenty of restaurants, bars, cafes and clubs that are open long into the night. As well as being known for the sunniest climate in Croatia, Hvar also has a jet-set pedigree often attracting some rather famous visitors in summer. (B, L)

2025 Departures: DAY 4:                                   HVAR – BRAC – SPLIT 
In the morning, cruise towards Bol on Brač island, best known for its famous Zlatni rat beach. It is a long, golden pebble beach, specific for its everchanging shape – in fact, it is shaped daily by wind and sea currents. In the late afternoon, arrival in Split, Croatia’s second-largest city, a busy university and maritime centre and the capital of the Dalmatia region. Its historical complex is under UNESCO protection, and the old town with its cultural richness is wondrous both to local inhabitants as well as to the many visitors who fall in love with this 1,000-plus-year-old beauty. Enjoy exploring it on your own, soaking up the true dalmatian spirit. Overnight in Split. (B, L 

2026 Departures: DAY 4:                                      HVAR – VIS

Vis has retained a rather special charm reflecting the “‘Mediterranean as it once was”. A short swim stop and then set sail further to the town of Vis for overnight. Vis was developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia, formed by the Greeks in the 4th century B.C.  Visit the remains of the Roman Baths, City Museum, or take a walk enjoying the view of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the coast. Overnight in Vis. (B, L)
