Sail the Southern Dalmatia, the perfect blend of culture and adventure
DAY 1: SATURDAY SPLIT – MAKARSKA
Embarkation commences from 11am. Must be onboard before 12.30 pm. Departure from Split Harbour towards Makarska at 1pm. Lunch is served while cruising along the Dalmatian Coast. Afternoon swim stop in one of the secluded bays on route. For the adrenaline lovers, there’s an optional zipline ride over the Cetina River canyon. Enjoy Makarska in the evening. Stroll the waterfront with its wide promenade, a pathway out to a lighthouse and some cool bars. The main square is home to an impressive church and other monuments and sights. Overnight in the port of Makarska. (L)
DAY 2: SUNDAY MAKARSKA – MLJET Early morning departure towards Mljet, with a swim stop on the Pelješac Peninsula. Part of Mljet Island is a national park (entrance fee to be paid on the spot, approximately 25EUR, subject to change). In the afternoon, plan to visit its seawater lakes, the peaceful, tiny St Mary’s Island in the middle of the large lake, the church, and the monastery. Walk or hire a bike to explore these stunning lakes. Overnight in the port of Polača or Pomena. (B, L)
DAY 3: MONDAY MLJET – DUBROVNIK After breakfast, depart towards Dubrovnik, the most famous town in Croatia and, for many, the highlight of this cruise. The Irish writer George Bernard Shaw called Dubrovnik “heaven on earth”. Unbelievable views of the surroundings along the way, enjoy and admire the beautiful stretch of the coast. Upon arrival, explore on your own or join a guided city tour (included on Premium and Premium Superior only), followed by an optional cable car ride up to the Srđ mountain for spectacular views of the old town. Do not miss Stradun – both a street and a square in the Old Town and walk at least part of the 1,940m long city walls which have protected Dubrovnik during earthquakes and attacks! Overnight in the port of Dubrovnik. (B, L)
DAY 4: TUESDAY DUBROVNIK – SIPAN / TRSTENIK Late morning departure towards the island of Šipan or the small town of Trstenik on the Pelješac Peninsula. Gorgeous spots for an afternoon swim and time at leisure with the possibility to visit a local winery. In the evening enjoy the special Captain’s dinner on board (included on Premium Superior and Premium only). Overnight in Sipan or Trstenik. (B, L, D – dinner included for Premium/Premium Superior only)
DAY 5: WEDNESDAY SIPAN / TRSTENIK – KORCULA After breakfast, departure towards the island of Korčula, one of the famous islands in the Dubrovnik region. It’s the birthplace of the famous explorer Marco Polo. Lunch on board in a bay near Korčula town. The encircling town walls and bastions date back to the 13th Century and there are some lovely churches and museums. Join the optional sightseeing of Korčula town (included on Premium Superior only) or optional wine and local appetizer tasting at a local winery before dining in one of the numerous seafront restaurants or konobas on your own. Overnight in the port of Korčula. (B, L)
DAY 6: THURSDAY KORCULA – HVAR Early departure towards the Paklinski Islands near Hvar (the longest island in the Adriatic) for lunch and a swimming stop. Later, there is an optional afternoon sightseeing of Hvar (included on Premium Superior only), which resembles a film set. The Renaissance cathedral has its original tower and the oldest community theatre in Europe, founded in 1612. For those in good shape, Hvar offers an additional challenge – on the hill above the town, the fortress Španjola has dominated for centuries, strong and stable. Discover history once again, this time from a new dimension! Restless individuals always looking for fun will also find their empire here – numerous restaurants and bars open late into the night. Don’t forget to buy some island lavender from local stalls. Overnight in Hvar. (B, L)
DAY 7: FRIDAY HVAR – BRAC – SPLIT The next stop is the island of Brač. The most famous (and most photographed) beach in Dalmatia is Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn) near Bol – famous for its everchanging shape – a shingle bar that moves according to the wind. Great place for a swim stop. Bol is a typical fishermen’s village that kept the atmosphere despite becoming a popular touristic spot. After lunch, on the way to Split, it is possible to join the optional river rafting excursion on the Cetina River. The approach to the Split Riviera is wonderful and offers the best views from onboard. Upon arrival, join the optional guided tour of Split, a monumental city which together with the famous Roman Diocletian’s Palace is under UNESCO protection. Split is full of bistros and restaurant serving local specialities. Cool bars too.
