Day by day Itinerary

Day 1
Dubrovnik

Shared transfer from Dubrovnik Airport to Dubrovnik’s Gruž Port for embarkation from 1400HRS onwards. After settling in, transfer to the city gates for a guided tour of the Old Town. Meander through the narrow, car-free limestone streets, worn smooth under the soles of centuries of pedestrians, exploring the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture. Take the cable car from the Old Town to Mount Srđ to enjoy scenic views of the mighty ramparts and of the Elaphiti Islands. After the tour, return transfer to the vessel to meet the crew and enjoy cocktails and dinner onboard, to toast to the upcoming cruise week ahead. Overnight in Dubrovnik. (D)

Day 2
Dubrovnik - Slano - Ston - Slano

Departure to the small village of Slano on the mainland. Enjoy the magical scenery cruising around Dubrovnik city walls before continuing to one of the Elaphiti islands for a swimming stop. Afternoon arrival in Slano, a peaceful fishing village and a starting point to Ston, once fortified small town, famous for its oysters. After exploring the town’s long medieval ramparts, head for Malli Ston nearby to learn more about oysters and a special tasting of this delicacy. Time at leisure and return transfer to the vessel. Overnight in Slano. (B, L, T)

Day 3
Slano - Mljet NP

In the morning, the cruise continues further north to the Island of Mljet. The legend says Greek hero Odysseus spent years on this island when he was captured by the nymph Calypso. Join the Cruise Director for a stroll to the famous saltwater lakes in the Mljet National Park and enjoy the boat ride to St. Mary’s 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 or the island on your own. In the evening, be ready for the Captain’s Dinner with live entertainment onboard. Overnight in the port of Polača or Pomena. (B, L, D)

Day 4
Mljet NP - Korčula

Early morning departure towards the Island of Korčula, known as the birthplace of Marco Polo. Stop for lunch in one of the secluded bays enroute. Afternoon arrival in Korčula Town followed by a guided walking tour of this enchanting place surrounded by walls, one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the Mediterranean. Fishbone street pattern was used in the design of Korčula Old Town for a natural cooling effect, and it provides citizens with sheltered and comfortable accommodation. Korčula has an abundant choice of restaurants to enjoy a gourmet experience and numerous bars for those looking for evening entertainment. Optional excursion to a small village near Korčula Town for a typical Dalmatian dinner and to learn about the history and traditional way of living on the island. Overnight in Korčula. (B, L)

Note: Depending on availability, ship will dock in the main port in the town centre or ferry port of Dominče (3km away).

Day 5
Korčula - Vis/Komiža

Continue to the Island of Vis, in the 4th century BC, one of the main Greek colonies. Vis is relatively under the radar for tourists. For a long time, it was in use as a naval base (until 1991). As a result, the culture and architecture are extremely well preserved. Rosemary, capers and sage grow wild around the island. Try some exquisite local wines. If interested, visit the remains of the Roman Thermal Place, Town Museum or simply take a walk enjoying the views of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the waterfront. Overnight in the port of Vis or Komiža (subject to berth availability), both offering a genuine taste of the island’s character. (B, L, T)

Day 6
Vis - Biševo - Pakleni Islands - Hvar

Early in the morning, cruising resumes towards the small Island of Biševo to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon (entrance fee to be paid on the spot). As sometimes weather conditions can be very unpredictable, the possibility of a cave visit will depend on those conditions, however, you will be notified in time. Continue towards the jet-set Island of Hvar with a swimming stop and lunch onboard at the Pakleni Islands. Hvar, the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic is known for its glorious lavender fields and breathtaking beauty. Arrive in the afternoon for the guided tour of Hvar and visit 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 for lovely scenic views of the vessel and the Pakleni Islands. Hvar offers an abundance of entertainment in the evening, numerous restaurants, bars and clubs are open long into the night. Overnight in the port. (B, L)

Day 7
Hvar - Bol - Trogir (Marina Baotić)

Morning departure to Brač Island for a refreshing swim at Zlatni Rat, the most famous beach in Dalmatia, known for its ever-changing shape due to wind and waves. Explore Bol, a charming former fishing town turned popular seaside destination while retaining its authentic charm. Continue to Trogir, a UNESCO-protected historic town, and enjoy a guided tour upon arrival in the afternoon. Wander through its maze of cobbled streets, admire its stunning medieval architecture, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere. Overnight in Marina Baotić. (B, L)
