Itinerary

Transfer from Dubrovnik Airport to Gruž Harbour for check-in from 14:00 onwards. After settling in, enjoy a transfer to the city gates for a guided walking tour of Dubrovnik. Stroll through the narrow, car-free limestone streets—polished smooth by centuries of footsteps — while discovering stunning examples of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture. Take the cable car to Mount Srđ for panoramic views of Dubrovnik’s mighty ramparts and the nearby Elaphiti Islands. After the tour, return to the vessel to meet the crew and enjoy cocktails and dinner on board, toasting to the exciting cruise ahead. Overnight in Dubrovnik

Early morning departure toward Korčula, best known as the birthplace of Marco Polo. Stop for lunch in a secluded bay along the way. In the afternoon, arrive in Korčula Town and join a guided walking tour of this enchanting walled city, one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the Mediterranean. Explore the fishbone-patterned streets, designed to offer natural cooling and shelter from the wind. In the evening, enjoy a gourmet dinner at one of the town’s many restaurants, or explore its lively bars and cafés. Overnight in Korčula.

Today’s destination is the island of Vis, once a restricted Yugoslav naval base, only recently opened to tourism. En route, stop for lunch in a tranquil bay. Because of its long isolation, Vis remains authentically Mediterranean, often described as “the Mediterranean as it once was.”  The town of Vis developed near the ruins of ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia. In the afternoon, enjoy a wine tasting at a family-owned winery, uniquely located in a former military tunnel. Overnight in the port of Vis.

Depart early for the small island of Biševo to visit the stunning Blue Cave, a unique natural phenomenon (entrance fee to be paid on spot). As weather conditions can be unpredictable, your cruise manager will inform you in advance whether the visit is possible. Afterwards, cruise to the chic island of Hvar, with a swim stop and lunch around the Pakleni Islands. Arrive in Hvar in the afternoon and join a guided walking tour, including the Renaissance Cathedral, its original bell tower, and Europe’s oldest community theatre, founded in 1612. For panoramic views, climb the zig-zag path to the hilltop fortress overlooking the harbour and Pakleni Islands. Hvar offers plenty of nightlife, with vibrant restaurants, bars, and clubs open well into the night. Overnight in Hvar.

Early morning cruise toward the coastal jewel of Trogir, often referred to as a “miniature Venice” and celebrated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With a history spanning over 3,000 years, this town is a living museum of Romanesque and Renaissance artistry. Join a guided walking tour through its maze of cobbled streets, grand palaces, and ancient city walls. As the sun sets, dock in Trogir port for an overnight stay, soaking in the timeless atmosphere under the starlit sky. In the evening, gather for a Captain’s Dinner on board, complete with live music to mark the occasion. Overnight in Trogir.

Start your day with a scenic cruise northward, enjoying breakfast on board and a refreshing swim stop along the way. Arrive in Skradin and set off for a visit to the breathtaking Krka Waterfalls National Park, where nature’s beauty cascades through lush landscapes. Return to the vessel and cruise to the historic city of Šibenik, one of the oldest Croatian towns on the Adriatic. Explore the UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St. James and wander through the medieval streets lined with cultural monuments. Enjoy free time to dine in one of Šibenik’s charming local restaurants. Overnight in Šibenik.

Cruise towards Zadar, with a lunch stop in a secluded bay en route. Upon arrival, join a guided walking tour of this ancient city, once the capital of Dalmatia. Discover historical landmarks such as the Roman Forum, the Church of St. Donatus, impressive city walls, and the City Gate from the 16th century. Don’t miss Zadar’s unique contemporary attractions: the Sea Organ, which plays music powered by the sea, and the “Greeting to the Sun” light installation that celebrates the sunset in a spectacular display. Overnight in Zadar.

Enjoy one final breakfast on board, followed by heartfelt farewells with the crew andyour fellowtravellers. Check-out in Zadar and individual transfer arrangements as yourjourney comes to an end.
