Discover Central & Southern Dalmatia Cruise 2025

Embarkation in the Port of Trogir from 1300HRS to 1400HRS. After embarkation, your representatives will welcome you onboard with a drink and you will meet the crew and your fellow passengers. Cast off, heading towards Bol, on the Island of Brač. Here you will discover one of the most beautiful beaches in the entire Mediterranean, Zlatni Rat (the Golden Horn), which is constantly changing direction due to the ocean currents. Dinner onboard and overnight stay in the Port of Bol. (L)

Today’s destination is the Town of Korčula, the main town on the homonymous Island. Korčula has one of the most beautiful Old Towns in Dalmatia and due to its fortress-like appearance, it is often called ‘Little Dubrovnik’. On your way to Korčula, you will stop in a bay to take a swim in the crystal-clear water. Overnight stay in the birthplace of the famous navigator and explorer Marco Polo. (B, L or D)

In around three hours by boat from Korčula you will reach the Island of Lastovo, which has been closed to foreign visitors for decades, since it used to be a military base at the time of the former Yugoslavia. The Island has preserved its authenticity and is therefore an oasis of tranquillity, with lush Mediterranean vegetation. A few years ago, the Archipelago of Lastovo was declared a Natural Park (entrance fee approx €4 per person, to be paid on-site).  Anchor in the Bay of Sveti Mihajlo, close to the Village of Lastovo, where you will have plenty of time for exploring the surroundings. In the afternoon, you will return to the Island of Korčula, more precisely to Vela Luka. The village lies in a deep, sheltered bay at the western end of the island. In case of bad weather, instead of Vela Luka, you will anchor in the Port of Ubli, on the Island of Lastovo for our overnight stay. (B, L or D)

After a swim break, head for the second ‘forbidden’ island of our trip today, Vis. Like Lastovo, the Island of Vis was closed to foreign visitors until the end of the 1980s. Where once there was the runway of an air force base, wine is now grown. If possible, first visit the ‘Blue Grotto’ on the Islet of Biševo. As the visit to the cave depends on the weather, it will take place on Tuesday or Wednesday, if feasible, according to the weather forecast. Depending on the local conditions, you will anchor for the night in a bay or moor in Komiža, a tranquil little town on the west coast of the Island of Vis. (B, L or D)

Just five nautical miles from Komiža there is the small Island of Biševo, with the famous ‘Blue Cave’ (Modra Špilja). Around midday, the rays of the sun will spill through an underwater opening into the cave and reflect from the white ocean floor, thus bathing the cave into blue light. This unique manifestation can be observed only in calm seas. The trip to the cave is done with small boats (admission including boat ride €10-14 per person, to be paid on-site). On your trip to Vis, the capital of the island, anchor in a bay on the northern coast for a swim. The Town of Vis is situated in a deep, sheltered bay. Vis is a charming little town with romantic alleys and cafés. In one of the many quaint Konobas you can let the evening end wonderfully. (B, L or D)

After a stop in a bay, you will head towards Stari Grad, the oldest settlement on the Island of Hvar. Stari Grad (which translates to ‘old town’) was once the capital of the Island, called “Pharos”. Even today, well-preserved monuments bear witness of the splendour of past times, like the Hektorović Palace. Stari Grad has, however, kept its role as the centre of viticulture on the Island of Hvar. Overnight stay in Stari Grad. (B, L or D)

After breakfast, weigh anchor and head towards the last island of your voyage, Šolta. The island is characterized by extensive olive groves, which produce first-class, extremely dark olive oil. For swimming, anchor in a secluded bay which is accessible only by boat. Back from Šolta, return to Trogir. Be captivated by the unique atmosphere in the streets of the Old Town, also called ‘the Museum City’ and protected by the UNESCO. Before having the opportunity to have dinner in one of the numerous cosy restaurants, you are invited to take part in a guided tour through the historic town. (B, L or D)

After breakfast, disembarkation by 0900HRS. (B)
