A terrific cruise that takes in Mljet National Parks, the islands of Vis, Korcula and Hvar, and the wonderful cities of Split and Dubrovnik. Our small ships can access all of these ports, most of which larger vessels cannot go near. We will cruise in the mornings, stopping in a secluded bay for a swim on the way, and after lunch on board we have time to explore our destinations (where we will moor overnight). In the evenings you are free to try some of the many restaurants and cafes that line these historic harbours.

You will be transferred from Split airport to the Trogir port. Embarkation begins at 14:00h. Get settled in your cabin before going on a short orientation walk through this medieval city. Trogir is sometimes referred to as “miniature Venice” or a “mini-Dubrovnik” because of its ancient walls, or a “floating museum town” - a sit has a masterful architecture including some stunning Venetian palaces. After returning to the ship enjoy a Welcome reception followed by dinner this evening.
In the morning, we will head towards Split where you will join a guided tour of Split with and visit the seafront promenade and Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace. The historical centre of the city is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. You will see the remnants of Split’s Roman heritage, its Renaissance and Gothic structures, Jupiter’sTemple, the Peristyle, and the Cathedral. After visiting Split, we head towards Milna on the Island of Brač with a swim stop, weather permitting, in one of pristine bays, time to relax and lunch on board. After lunch we arrive in Milna still known as the most beautiful and most protected port on Brač. Explore this Dalmatian town dominated by a Baroque church with a typical Dalmatian bell tower. The interior of the church is rich in valuable paintings by Venetian painters. Overnight in one of the harbors on the island of Brač.
In the morning, we set sail toward the island of Hvar. Along the way, we take a short break for swimming, cooling off, and relaxing – weather permitting. Lunch is served on board before continuing our journey to Hvar. Upon arrival in the early afternoon, disembark and join a tour on Hvar by Land Rover Defenders. We will drive through picturesque villages and visit Lavander Farm, stop for wine tasting and finish with Donkey Farm where we will have a lot of fun. Overnight in Stari Grad.
Note: Due to limited capacity at Stari Grad Harbour (during peak season), the port of call may be substituted with one of the nearby harbours.
Leaving Island Hvar in the morning and sail towards Biševo island to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon on the islet Biševo just in front of the town of Komiža. The possibility of our visit will depend on weather conditions; however, you will be notified of this on time. Afterwards continue to Vis, once a strategic naval Yugoslav base and restricted to the public. Due to this isolation, Vis has a special charm – “the Mediterranean as it once was” making it interesting to visit. Since the independence of Croatia, the island began opening slowly to the outside world. Some of Europe's largest and greatest naval battles have taken place in the waters around Vis. Vis Island holds many historic secrets and you can explore Vis history on you own by military Land Rover Defenders. Overnight in one of the harbors on the island of Vis.
Note: Due to limited capacity at Vis Harbour (during peak season), the port of call may be substituted with one of the nearby harbours.
Early in the morning we set sail for the island of Korčula, with swimming stop, if weather permits, in one of pristine bays, time to relax and lunch on board. Continue towards Korčula, the most preserved medieval town, thought to be the birthplace of the famous explorer Marco Polo. We will spend the night here. Take a walking tour of Korčula which takes you through its narrow, cobbled streets full of history. Evening is free to explore the town on your own.
In the morning head further south to the Island of Mljet. Join the Cruise Manager for a stroll to the famous salt lakes in the Mljet National Park. Alternatively, you can rent bicycles, scooters, or kayaks to explore the National Park or island on your own. Lunch on board and departure for a small village called Slano on the mainland. Slano is a peaceful fishermen’s village, and the starting point to Ston, situated on Pelješac peninsula, fortified small village famous for its oysters which we will taste in a nearby village. Pelješac peninsula is known as one of the best wine-producing regions in Croatia. Tonight, enjoy Captain’s dinner and overnight in Slano.
Early morning cruise to Elaphiti islands with swim stop on one of the secluded bays. Continue sailing to Dubrovnik, and, before we moor at port, we cruise alongside the old city walls. After docking, join a guided tour at the historical centre of Dubrovnik, walk through Stradun – both a street and a square, the most famous place inside the town walls, enlisted as UNESCO’s World Heritage site. Your guide will show you the most interesting sights of the Old Town and visit the Franciscan Monastery with its Pharmacy. After city tour, you will be on your own to explore the city, visit City Walls, the Franciscan Monastery with Europe's second oldest pharmacy, the Rector's Palace, and the Cathedral, or take a boat ride to Lokrum island or take the cable car to the top of the Mount Srđ.
