ITINERARY:   Split – Trogir – Hvar – Biševo – Vis – Korčula – Mljet - Šipanska Luka/Slano - Dubrovnik
 

B = Breakfast, L = Lunch, D = Dinner, CD = Captain’s Dinner

DAY 1 / SUNDAY: SPLIT

Embarkation begins at 13:00h. Get settled in your cabin before attending a Welcome Reception followed by dinner this evening. Overnight in Split. (WR, D)

DAY 2 / MONDAY: SPLIT – TROGIR

This morning you will get the opportunity to stroll through the streets of Split accompanied by our guide. Split is the second largest Croatian city, best known for its glorious palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979. Return to the ship. Around noon, we set sail towards our first stop, the city of Trogir, another UNESCO World Heritage site. While sailing towards Trogir, your lunch will be served. We will also make a swim stop along the way and we’ll arrive in Trogir in the afternoon. You will join our guide for a walking tour of Trogir whose rich history and Greek, Roman, and Venetian influences are visible on every single step of its beautiful, narrow, cobbled streets. You will admire the architecture of Trogir’s most imposing monument, the Cathedral of St Lawrence, built in Romanesque-Gothic style. After the city tour, you will have free time to explore Trogir at your own pace or have a dinner in one of the numerous local restaurants.

Overnight in Trogir. (B, L)

DAY 3 / TUESDAY: TROGIR – HVAR

In the morning, we leave Trogir and head to our next stop, the town of Hvar on the island of Hvar. Swim stop along the way and lunch on board. Upon arrival in Hvar, join our guided city tour to discover its rich history, beautiful architecture, and important landmarks such as the Cathedral of St Stephen, the Theatre which is one of the oldest in Europe dating back to 1612, and the Spanish Fortress. Later in the evening, you can explore the town on your own and see what its night life has to offer. Overnight in Hvar. (B, L)

DAY 4 / WEDNESDAY: HVAR – BIŠEVO BLUE CAVE – VIS

In the morning, we set sail again, this time towards the island of Biševo and its famous Blue Cave. This mesmerizing natural attraction is breath-taking with its white floor reflecting sunlight and bathing the cave in aquamarine light. The Blue Cave can only be approached by boat and at times, due to winds, waves and currents, access to the cave is not possible. We can only know about the sea conditions and possibility of entrance on the same morning of the visit. In case we are lucky enough to get to see the Blue Cave, we will arrive in Vis after lunch. Vis is a small town on an eponymous island, well known for its strategic importance through the years. You will have free time to explore Vis at your own pace and visit one of its many fortresses, such as the Fortress of Saint George. Since it was closed during the time of ex-Yugoslavia, the wonderful island is still like an unspoiled and preserved oasis. Overnight in Vis. (B, L)

 

DAY 5 / THURSDAY: VIS – KORČULA

Morning departure towards the island of Korčula, with plenty of time for swimming along the sail before lunch. The city of Korčula is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the Mediterranean, thought to be the birthplace of the famous explorer Marco Polo. After arriving in Korčula in the afternoon, you will join our guide for a walking tour of Korčula. After the walking tour, enjoy your free evening to try some homemade dishes in one of the many local restaurants. Overnight in Korčula. (B, L)

DAY 6 / FRIDAY: KORČULA – NATIONAL PARK MLJET – ŠIPAN ISLAND OR SLANO

We leave Korčula in the morning and cruise towards the island of Mljet. Our arrival in Pomena is expected around 10:00. Upon arrival, you will visit the National Park, well known for its versatile eco-system and two salt lakes (‘’Veliko Jezero’’- Big Lake and ‘’Malo Jezero’’- Small Lake), as well as for the 12th-century Benedictine Monastery located on St Mary’s Islet. Walking around the park and its lakes can be very relaxing, and it can make you forget about everything, so please do not forget to come back to the ship for lunch! In the afternoon our adventure continues, and we cruise towards the island of Šipan and its peaceful fishermen’s village, Šipanska Luka. In case we are not able to anchor there because of weather conditions or docking capacity limits, we will cruise to Slano, situated on the mainland. In the evening, enjoy the Captain’s Dinner on board. Overnight in Šipanska Luka or in Slano. (B, L, CD)

DAY 7 / SATURDAY: DUBROVNIK

In the morning, we set sail towards Dubrovnik, our last stop and yet another city listed among UNESCO’s World Heritage sites. We will disembark in the port of Gruž where your coach will wait for you. We head to Dubrovnik center for a guided walking tour. After the tour, you will have plenty of free time to explore the rich history of the Old Town or visit some of the famous sights of the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” ride a cable car to Srđ Mountain for a stunning view, or a stroll along the city walls. A coach transfer to the port of Gruž will be organized for you at the scheduled time. Overnight in Dubrovnik. (B, L)

 

 

DAY 8 / SUNDAY: DUBROVNIK

After breakfast, it’s time to disembark. (B)
