Enjoy the early morning yoga class during departure towards the Vis Island, which was “off-limits” to tourists for many years. Because of its unique geographical position, it was a strategic harbour for the navy and in this period of isolation Vis has retained a rather special charm reflecting the “Mediterranean as it once was”. Near Vis, there is the tiny Ravnik Island, where the Green Cave is situated, and which was named after the unusual greenish light that reflects in the sea from the hole on top of the cave (entrance fee approx EUR10 per person). Depending on the weather conditions the plan is to have a short swim break and then to cruise further to the town of Vis for overnight. The town of Vis is on the northern side of the island and was developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia, formed by the Greeks in the 4th century BC. Visit the remains of the Roman Baths, Town Museum or take a walk enjoying the view of the beautiful “Villae Rusticae” situated along the coast. (B, L)

Enjoy the early morning yoga session as the vessel cruises towards the little Island of Biševo to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon. The possibility of the cave visit depends on weather conditions which can be very unpredictable, so the captain will decide if possible. Entrance to the Blue Cave is to be paid directly on the spot (approx EUR14 per person). The cruise then continues towards Stari Grad on the Hvar Island, officially the sunniest Adriatic island. Afternoon at leisure to explore this unique town after the afternoon meditation. The famous Stari Grad Plain is the oldest in Croatia and the best-preserved example of the ancient Greek system of agriculture. Together with the Old Town, it is a part of world heritage protected by UNESCO. Overnight in Stari Grad. (B, L)

Awake the body and mind with the early morning yoga session on the Sun Deck. After breakfast, cruise towards the beautiful Island of Brač and the famous small town of Bol.

Explore it and check some of the great restaurants offering excellent fresh fish, local wines and other authentic island delicacies. Enjoy a lovely walk or cycle along the promenade. Hike or rent a scooter up to Vidova Gora for a spectacular view of Bol and the surrounding islands. Overnight in Bol. (B, L)
