Sunday. Hail Croatia and welcome aboard! The stunning walled city of Dubrovnik is a true treasure. The cobbled old city streets resemble a jumble of tangled shoelaces filled with cute cafes, restaurants, ice cream parlours, souvenirs and curious. The compact city is full of colour and life and many a while can be spent watching the local traders go about their day.

Your boat will be ready for embarkation/check in at the DUBROVNIK (GRUZ) HARBOUR FROM 13:00 ONWARD. Overnight - Dubrovnik Harbour (D)

Dubrovnik – Korcula – Hvar. As our boat sets sail, the coming week will be filled with island hopping, swimming, sunbathing and relaxing with like minded travellers. In addition to a beautiful views from on deck, you’ll enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast and lunch and visit a range of different ports each day. As the sun sets, the world is your oyster; explore the day’s port of call and discover a local restaurant or bistro and sample Croatia’s incredible gastronomy and fine wines.

Stopping at the islands of Hvar and Korcula, both are among some of the most important wine growing regions in Croatia. Korcula, an island renowned for its long maritime history and is the reputed birthplace of the great explorer Marco Polo. It is possible to climb the tower, which was said to be his home. It is also one of the most charming and romantic of the 1000 or so islands off the Adriatic coast. Ancient medieval walls surround hidden treasures; you will find architectural delights, including Renaissance palaces, cathedrals, museums and plenty more gems tucked away in its network of old cobbled streets.
