Adriatic Explorer: Opatija - Dubrovnik

Departure at 13:00h towards Rab, famously known as the island of love, with its charming old town of the same name. Join a guided walking tour to explore the medieval city walls, the iconic four bell towers, and a delightful mix of palaces, churches, and lively squares.

After breakfast, set sail for Zadar, Croatia’s oldest university town, rich in world-class heritage. Here, history stares you in the face—from the Roman Forum of the 1st century, to the 9th-century St. Donat church, the city’s most iconic symbol. Explore the mighty city walls, over 30 churches, and the many museums and palaces that line the old town. Zadar has also embraced the modern era with the Sea Organ and the Greeting to the Sun, two award-winning installations on the seafront. Don’t miss the spectacular sunset show, best viewed from the promenade. Guided city tour included. Overnight in Zadar.

Wine and waterfalls! Cruise to Skradin, then hop aboard a coach to a local winery for a delightful wine tasting paired with a light tapas-style lunch. Afterwards, visit the stunning Krka National Park, home to the spectacular Skradinski Buk, the most famous of the waterfalls. With 17 cascades spanning up to 100 meters in width and drops totalling 45.7 meters, it’s nature’s drama at its finest. In the afternoon, sail to Šibenik, nestled in the heart of Croatia’s Adriatic coast. Explore the glorious old town, dotted with cultural treasures, including the UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St. James—a true Gothic-Renaissance masterpiece. Dinner on board and overnight in Šibenik.

Cruise south to Trogir, one of Croatia’s most picturesque coastal towns and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This small island, linked to the mainland by bridges, is a living museum of stone—its medieval streets winding past Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance facades. Join a guided walking tour through the historical center and discover landmarks such as the Cathedral of St. Lawrence and the Kamerlengo Fortress. Later, enjoy some free time to wander the lively promenade, where cafés and boats buzz with local energy. In the evening, gather onboard for the Captain’s Dinner with live entertainment—an evening of good food, music, and celebration beneath Trogir’s timeless skyline. Overnight in Trogir.

Cruise to Hvar, an island where lavender fields, Venetian architecture, and Adriatic charm blend into one unforgettable setting. Arrive in Hvar Town, a lively harbor watched over by a centuries-old fortress and lined with graceful stone facades. Explore its cobblestoned streets, visit the Renaissance Cathedral and the oldest public theatre in Europe, or climb to the Fortica fortress for panoramic views of the Pakleni Islands shimmering below. Enjoy the afternoon at leisure—perhaps discover hidden beaches, sip local wine in a seaside café, or simply take in the island’s effortless rhythm. Overnight in Hvar.

Departure towards Korčula, the island famed as the birthplace of Marco Polo. Enjoy a swim stop and lunch on board en route. Often called a miniature Dubrovnik, Korčula Town is enclosed in medieval stone ramparts and towers, exuding charm and history.
Join a local guide for a tour of the old town, whose streets are laid out in a clever fishbone pattern—a design choice with a fascinating story you’ll hear during your walk. Afterwards, soak in the island vibe in one of the konobas, wine bars, or cocktail lounges.
Overnight in Korčula.

There’s no better way to approach your final destination, Dubrovnik, than from the sea. One of the few fully walled cities right on the water, its grandeur is best appreciated as you cruise alongside the majestic ramparts. Lunch is served on deck before arriving at Gruž Harbour. Once moored, transfer to the Old Town for a guided walking tour. In your free time, take the cable car to Mt. Srđ (ticket included) for panoramic views of the city and the Elaphiti Islands. Or, explore museums such as Sponza Palace or the Rector’s Palace. If you’re up for it, walk the full 1,940-meter-long city walls, an unforgettable experience. Overnight in Dubrovnik.
