Itinerary
Day 1: DUBROVNIK
Transfer from Dubrovnik airport to the Gruž Harbour for check-in. After settling in, transfer to the city gates for a guided tour of the city. Meander through the narrow, car-free limestone streets, worn smooth under the soles of centuries of pedestrians exploring the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture. Take the cable car from the Old Town to the Srđ Mountain to enjoy scenic views of the mighty ramparts and of the Elaphiti Islands. After the tour, return transfer to the vessel to meet the crew and enjoy cocktails and dinner on board, to toast to the upcoming cruise week ahead. Overnight in Dubrovnik. (D)
Day 2: DUBROVNIK - SLANO - STON - SLANO
Departure to the small village of Slano on the mainland. Enjoy the magical scenery as you are cruising around Dubrovnik city walls before continuing to one of the Elaphiti Islands for a swimming stop. Afternoon arrival in Slano, a peaceful fishermen's village and our starting point to Ston, once fortified small village, famous for its oysters. After exploring the town’s long medieval ramparts, heading for a small village nearby to learn more about oysters and a special tasting of this delicacy. Overnight in Slano. (B, L)
Day 3: SLANO - 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. Overnight in port Polača or Pomena. (B, L)
Day 4: MIJET- KORČULA
Early morning departure towards the island of Korčula best known as the birthplace of Marco Polo. Stop for lunch in one of the secluded bays en route. Afternoon arrival in Korčula 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. Overnight in Korčula. (B, L)
Day 5: KORČULA - 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 Villa Rustica situated along the waterfront. Overnight in the port of Vis. (B, L)
Day 6: VIS - BIŠEVO - HVAR
Early in the morning, cruising resumes towards the small island of Biševo 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, you will be notified 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 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 theatre in Europe founded in 1612. Hike up the zig-zag path to the town fort overlooking the harbour for lovely scenic views of the vessel and the Paklinski Islands. Overnight in the port. (B, L)
Day 7: HVAR - BOL - SPLIT
Morning departure to Brač island where swimming is planned at the most famous beach in Dalmatia, Zlatni Rat near Bol, whose shingle promontory shifts from side to side as the wind and waves constantly cause the shape to change. Bol is a typical fishermen’s village converted into a popular tourist destination yet retaining its charm. Continue to Split to join a guided tour of the city upon arrival. This historical town under UNESCO World Heritage protection will knock you off your feet with its abundance of things to see and do and with its unique lively atmosphere. Overnight in Split. (B, L)
Day 8: SPLIT
One last breakfast on board followed by goodbyes with the crew and new friends! (B)
