Jewels of the Adriatic from Dubrovnik

Welcome! On arrival in Dubrovnik, there is an included pre-scheduled transfer to Gruz Harbour for check in, which is open from 14:00 onwards. After some time to settle into your cabin, you will be transferred to the old walled city for a guided tour. Here, we will explore the narrow, limestone streets, admiring the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture. Take the cable car from the Old Town to Srd Mountain to enjoy scenic views of the Walls and the Elaphiti Islands. After the tour, return to the ship for a welcome meet-and-greet cocktail reception and dinner on board.

Please note: This itinerary is for 2027 departures. If you're travelling in 2026, please contact us for your itinerary.

Dubrovnik - Slano - Ston. Setting sail from Dubrovnik this morning, we cruise to the small village of Slano on the mainland. Enjoy the view as the ship cruises around the Dubrovnik city walls before continuing to one of the Elaphiti Islands for a swim stop. Arriving in Slano, we wander through this peaceful fishermen's village before continuing to Ston, a once fortified small village famous for its oysters. We'll explore the medieval ramparts and try some of the local oysters in a nearby village.

Ston - Mljet - Polaca/Pomena. We head further north to the island of Mljet. Legend says the Greek hero Odysseus spent years on this island when he was captured by the nymph Calypso. Join the cruise manager for a stroll to the famous salt lakes in Mljet National Park, then take a boat ride to St Mary Isle to visit an ancient Benedictine Monastery, an old abbey, and a church dating back to the 12th century. Alternatively, you can rent kayaks, bicycles, scooters or convertible cars to roam around the National Park and island independently, but beware of the nymphs! There's plenty of free time before the Captain's dinner, and we overnight in the port of Pomena or Polaca.

Polaca/Pomena - Korcula. This morning's early departure carries us towards Korcula, the island where Marco Polo is said to have been born, with a stop along the way for lunch in one of the coastline's secluded bays.

By the time we reach Korcula Town in the afternoon, a guided walking tour is waiting - through one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the Mediterranean, its old-world charm still fully intact. Look down at the streets themselves and you'll spot a fishbone pattern radiating out from the centre - a clever piece of historic town planning that kept homes naturally cool and comfortable for residents.

Come evening, Korcula has plenty on offer: a strong choice of restaurants serving up a genuine gourmet experience, alongside numerous bars for anyone keen to stay out later. Those wanting something different can join an optional trip to a nearby village, where a traditional Dalmatian dinner comes paired with insight into the area's history and its old way of life.

We spend the night in Korcula.

Please note: Depending on availability, the overnight stay may be at the main port in the town centre, the port of Dominče, or the ferry port, which is 3 km away.

Korcula - Vis/Komiza. We cruise to the island of Vis, once a strategic Naval Yugoslav Base and closed to the public until 1991. Due to this isolation, Vis has a special charm, “the Mediterranean as it once was,” making it a really interesting place to visit. Vis town is situated on the northern side of the island, the first urban centre in Croatia. You'll want to try some exquisite local wine in one of Vis’s traditional wineries. Other things to do with your free time include exploring the remains of the Roman Thermal Place, visiting the City Museum, or simply taking a walk to enjoy the view of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the waterfront. Overnight in Vis and Komiza.

Vis/Komiza - Hvar/Stari Grad. Early in the morning, we cruise to the small island of Bisevo to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent, waterlogged sea cave, which is illuminated in blue light (weather dependant and pay on arrival, approx. EUR 24pp). We then continue towards the jet-set island of Hvar with a swim stop and lunch on board at the Pakleni Islands. Hvar is the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic and is known for its lavish lavender fields and breathtaking beauty. We'll enjoy a guided tour of the town, taking in highlights such as the Renaissance Cathedral with its original tower, and the oldest community theatre in Europe - founded in 1612. Hike up the zig-zag path to the town fort overlooking the harbour. Here you can take in lovely scenic views of the Pakleni Islands. This evening, enjoy some of Hvar's abundant hospitality options - there are numerous restaurants, bars and cafes open long into the night.

Please note: Depending on availability, we may spend the night at the port in Hvar or Stari Grad.

Hvar/Stari Grad - Trogir. Today is our final day of sailing, and we depart for Brac, where we make a swimming stop. We will then enjoy lunch before we continue our journey to Marina Baotić.

We head to Trogir, a historical town under UNESCO protection, and enjoy a guided city tour upon arrival in the early afternoon. Wander through its maze of cobbled streets, admire its stunning medieval architecture, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere. After the tour of Trogir, enjoy time at leisure to explore its picturesque streets and choose a restaurant for dinner.

Trogir. Breakfast onboard and then time to say goodbye to the crew and your fellow travellers! Check out by 9.00am with an included pre-scheduled transfer from Trogir to Split Airport.

Please note: For guests with post-cruise arrangements in Split or afternoon flight departures, a complimentary morning shuttle transfer from the marina to Split will be organised. Departure is at 09:30am, with arrival in Split expected around 10:30am.
