Arrive at Split Airport, and transfer to Split Harbour for check-in from 14:00 onwards. Once settled, embark on a guided tour of this UNESCO-protected city, renowned for its impressive Roman heritage. Explore the Diocletian’s Palace, a magnificent former residence of a Roman emperor, and wander through Split’s vibrant streets.
After the tour, return to the ship for a welcome meet & greet cocktail reception, the perfect start to your Adriatic adventure. Overnight in Split.
As the ship spends the first night in port you can join at anytime this evening.
Set off in the morning for Brač island where a refreshing swim awaits at Zlatni Rat, Dalmatia’s most famous beach. This unique shingle promontory shifts with the wind and waves, constantly changing shape. Continue to Bol, a former fishing village turned charming tourist destination.
Next, cruise to the island of Vis, once a strategic Yugoslav naval base, closed to the public for years. Its isolation has preserved its authentic charm—"the Mediterranean as it once was." Explore ancient Issa, Croatia’s first urban center, or visit historical sites like the Roman Thermal Place and the City Museum. Enjoy a wine tasting at a local winery before spending the night in Vis port.
Cruise early for the island of Biševo to visit the breathtaking Blue Cave, a natural wonder where sunlight creates a magical blue glow (entrance fee payable on the spot). As weather conditions can be unpredictable, the visit will depend on the sea state, with timely updates provided.
Continue towards the glamorous island of Hvar, stopping for lunch on board near the stunning Pakleni Islands. Hvar, the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic, is famed for its lavender fields, historic charm, and vibrant atmosphere. Upon arrival, enjoy a guided tour of the town’s landmarks, including the Renaissance cathedral and the oldest community theatre in Europe (founded in 1612). For panoramic views, hike up the zig-zag path to the fortress overlooking the harbour.
In the evening, experience Hvar’s lively nightlife with a variety of restaurants, bars, and clubs open late into the night. Overnight in port.
Depart early for the island of Korčula, famed as the birthplace of Marco Polo. En route, enjoy a relaxing lunch stop in a secluded bay before arriving in the afternoon. A guided walking tour will introduce you to Korčula’s medieval charm, surrounded by ancient walls and featuring one of the best-preserved historic towns in the Mediterranean. Designed in a distinctive fishbone street pattern, the Old Town was built to allow natural cooling and comfortable living.
For a deeper cultural experience, join an optional excursion to a nearby village for a traditional Dalmatian dinner and insights into local history and heritage. Overnight in Korčula, with port location depending on availability.
Sail further south to the island of Mljet, a place of myth and natural beauty. According to legend, Odysseus was captivated here by the nymph Calypso for years. Explore the serene Mljet National Park with your cruise manager, taking a stroll to the famous salt lakes and a boat ride to St. Mary Isle, home to a 12th-century Benedictine monastery, abbey, and church.
For a more independent adventure, rent kayaks, bicycles, scooters, or convertible cars to explore the island at your own pace—but beware of the nymphs! Relax and soak in the island’s peaceful, unspoiled nature. Overnight in port Polača or Pomena.
Cruise to the charming village of Slano, a quiet fishermen’s retreat on the mainland and the gateway to Ston, a historic fortified town famous for its medieval walls and world-renowned oysters. Explore Ston’s impressive ramparts, then continue to Mali Ston, where you’ll learn about oyster farming and enjoy a special tasting of this local delicacy.
Return to the vessel for a memorable Captain’s Dinner, featuring live entertainment and a festive atmosphere to celebrate the journey.
(B, L, T, CD)
Depart early for Dubrovnik, one of the world’s most stunningly preserved medieval cities. Before docking in Gruž Harbour, enjoy a scenic cruise along the famous city walls while lunch is served on deck.
Upon arrival, transfer to the Old Town for a guided walking tour through its Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque treasures. Take the cable car to Srđ Mountain for breathtaking panoramic views of the city walls and the Elaphiti Islands. Wander through narrow stone streets, explore historic landmarks, or walk the impressive 1,940-meter-long city walls for an unforgettable perspective of Dubrovnik’s grandeur. Overnight in Dubrovnik.
