ITINERARY

* Legend: B – breakfast; L – lunch; D – dinner; T – tasting

DAY 1 • SPLIT (D)
Transfer from Split airport to the Split harbour where the vessel will be docked—Check-in from 14.00 h onwards. After settling, enjoy the guided tour of the old part of the city (not possible for late arrivals). Split is a historic town under UNESCO protection, and it is a part of the world heritage. The magnificent Diocletian palace, once inhabited by the Roman emperor, is of special interest. After the tour of Split, return to the ship for a welcome reception and cocktail to enjoy the meet and greet party on board. Overnight in Split.

DAY 2 • SPLIT – BRAC (BOL) – HVAR (B, L)
Morning start of our Luxury Adriatic cruise to the seaside resort of Bol on Brac Island, claimed to have the most beautiful and the most photographed beach in Croatia, called Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape). Immerse yourself in a bath of sun and sea water or explore the town of Bol. Then, continue towards Hvar, the most famous Croatian island. Lunch on board. Afternoon arrival followed by a short presentation of lavender products and a tour of the town’s historical landmarks. In the evening, you can enjoy the vibe of a bustling promenade, well-appointed cafes, wine stores, shops and restaurants—overnight in the port.

DAY 3 • HVAR – VIS (B, L, T)
Early morning cruise towards the tiny island of Biševo to visit the Blue Cave, the natural wonder. Between 10 am and 3 pm, the sun’s rays pass through an underwater opening, illuminating the cave in blue light. Next, continue to the island of Vis, famous for its intact nature, sandy beaches and beautiful bays. It was a strategic naval Yugoslav base and closed to the public for years. Due to this ‘isolation’, Vis has a unique charm – they say it gives you a feeling of “the Mediterranean as it once was”… Try some exquisite wine sorts in one of the Vis traditional wineries. Overnight in the port of Vis.

DAY 4 • VIS –KORCULA (B, L)
In the morning, you depart for Korcula, the birthplace of Marco Polo. While cruising, we enjoy lunch on board and arrive in Korcula in the afternoon. Guided tour through narrow streets of one of the best-preserved medieval cities of the Mediterranian. Visit the house where Marco Polo was born. Here you will find more legends, tales and monuments than anywhere else. There is an extensive choice of restaurants to enjoy your gourmet experience, and there are numerous bars and clubs for those looking for evening entertainment overnight in Korčula.

DAY 5 • KORCULA –MLJET (B, L, D)
In the morning, we head further south to Pomena on the island of Mljet, known for its immense beauty and covered by thick forest. Visit the famous salt lakes in the Mljet National Park and enjoy the boat ride to the St Mary Isle to visit an ancient Benedictine monastery, an old abbey and a Church dating back to the 12th Century. You will also have free time to explore the park individually, for example, by renting bikes and cycling on the numerous paths around the lakes. Dinner on board and overnight in port Polača or Pomena.

DAY 6 • MLJET – SLANO/ STON (B, L, T, D)
Departure to the mainland to a small village called Slano,  a peaceful fishermen’s village and the starting point to Ston, a small village famous for its oysters.

After the visit, you’ll return to the ship for the Captain’s dinner with entertainment and music.

DAY 7 • SLANO – DUBROVNIK (B, L)

Your local guide will lead you to Dubrovnik’s most significant historical landmarks – the bustling Stradun street, Cathedral, Franciscan Monastery, Rector’s Palace, D’Onofrio’s Fountain, Orlando’s Column and many other attractions of this precious and beautiful UNESCO site (you won’t enter any museum or church). We recommend a walk on top of the 1940 m long city walls for those with more enthusiasm! Time at leisure for dinner. Overnight.
