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). 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.

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, 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 1.940 m long city walls that have protected Dubrovnik during earthquakes and attacks! Overnight in the port of this magical town.

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 of visiting a local winery. In the evening enjoy the special Captain’s dinner on board. 

After breakfast, depart 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 the 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 the Korčula town 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 one of the ports of Korčula, depending on availability (main port in the town center/ port of Dominče / ferry port (3 km away).

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), 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.

The next stop is the island of Brač. Bol is a typical fishermen’s village but also a popular tourist spot. From here, visit the most famous (and most photographed) beach in Dalmatia, Zlatni Rat – renowned for its ever-changing shape, a shingle bar that moves according to the wind. Enjoy a walk through the pine forest from Bol to the Golden Horn beach or ride the tourist train (with an additional fee). After lunch, navigation towards Split – the approach to the Split Riviera is wonderful and offers the best views from onboard. Upon early afternoon 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 restaurants serving local specialities, as well as cool bars.

An early breakfast before the final goodbyes to the new friends and crew and check-out.
