In the morning, cruise to the Island of Vis, with lunch on board and a swim stop enroute. Arrival to Vis is scheduled for the afternoon. Compared to other Adriatic islands, Vis is rather unique. Being an important strategic military stronghold for centuries, Vis was spared the excessive tourist development and thus retained its unspoilt beaches, ecological agriculture and traditional architecture.

For all who are interested, Cruise Operator will organise an optional Vis Island excursion, including a visit to Komiža, a stunning fishing town. Overnight in Vis. (B, L)

Entrance fees are paid on the spot. After a swim stop and lunch on board, continue cruising along many idyllic coves and bays towards Hvar, the sunniest Croatian island. Hvar is one of the most popular and attractive Croatian tourist destinations and a meeting point of the international celebrities. Upon afternoon arrival, a local English speaking guide will walk you through the town, introducing you to the island’s way of life, its rich history and culture.

Morning departure towards Bol, famous for having one of the finest European beaches, called Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn). As you stop in Bol, relax in this charming Dalmatian town. Have a walk, a cup of coffee or a swim, until lunch is served on board. After lunch, continue cruising towards Pučišća, with refreshing swim stops enroute. Nowhere in the system of towns and villages in Dalmatia does terrain play such a compelling role as in Pučišća. Its spectacular irregularity of steep-sided natural harbour, authentic Mediterranean architecture and rustic ambience are simply unforgettable. Pučišća is also home to the only stonemasonry schools still operating in Croatia. Its students carve sculptures from Brač limestone, applying traditional and unconventional tools that have been used here for centuries. You will spend the night in this very peaceful town. Enjoy the nightfall, as it unifies the distinct features of Pučišća that have intrigued us so much in daylight. This evening, enjoy a Captain’s Dinner on board. Overnight in Pučišća. (B, L, D)
