Day 1: Split
Split - Hvar. Upon arrival at Split Airport, enjoy a transfer to Marina Baotić (Trogir) for check-in aboard your vessel. Departure is scheduled for 14:00hrs, followed by a relaxing cruise to Hvar, the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic.



Hvar is famed for its lavender fields, crystal-clear waters, and rich history. Discover Hvar’s Renaissance cathedral and its historic theatre — the oldest public theatre in Europe, founded in 1612 — then hike up to the fortress for stunning panoramic views over the harbour and the Pakleni Islands.



In the afternoon, enjoy a guided walking tour of this vibrant town. The evening is free to explore, with Hvar buzzing with life and offering a wide choice of excellent restaurants, lively bars, and charming cafés. Overnight in Hvar.



Itinerary Alterations - Please note: There may be slight adjustments to your itinerary, depending on departure date and ship. While all ports of call and key attractions remain the same, the order of visits could be rearranged.
Day 2: Korcula
Hvar - Korcula. Early this morning we depart for Korcula, an island abundant with legends and tales, stopping for lunch in a secluded bay en route. In Korcula, embark on a walking tour of this enchanting town. This evening you can continue your gourmet experience at one of the island’s many restaurants.
Day 3: Mljet Island
Korcula - Mljet - Dubrovnik. Travelling further south we head to the Island of Mljet. Here, we’ll walk through the salt lakes of Mljet National Park before enjoying a boat ride to St Mary Isle, which is home to a Benedictine Monastery, abbey and church from the 12th century. The adventurous at heart can opt to rent kayaks, bicycle or scooters to explore the National Park independently. Returning to the ship for lunch we continue our journey onto Dubrovnik, arriving in the late afternoon.



Before we dock in port, your captain takes you along the city walls. Enjoy spectacular views of the magnificent old town with dinner on board.
Day 4: Dubrovnik
This morning we embark on a guided walking tour of the Old Town, and later take a cable car to Srd Mountain where we can enjoy spectacular views of the city walls and the Elaphiti Islands.



Spend the remainder of the afternoon and evening at your own leisure. For the more energetic amongst the group you might want to explore the famous walls of the city, which total 1,940m in length. Alternatively, you may like to explore 'Stradun', a beautiful promenade within the city walls which opens out into a square at one end.
Day 5: Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik - Peljesac Peninsula - Trstenik. Morning departure from this magnificent town and continue our cruise towards the Peljesac Peninsula, well known for its excellent wine. Enjoy a morning swim stop followed by lunch on board.



Arriving to the Peljesac Peninsula this afternoon, we head inland to explore the surrounding rural area. We make our way to a local farm before visiting a local village, here you’ll indulge in a typical village party with Croatian delicacies, an all-inclusive dinner with local dishes made from their own produce. After a fantastic evening of food and wine we transfer back to our ship.
Day 6: Hvar
Trstenik - Pucisca/Milna. Depart Trstenik early in the morning, followed by a refreshing swim stop. Enjoy lunch on board as the cruise continues towards the island of Brač. In the afternoon, arrive in the charming town of Pučišća, often described as one of the prettiest villages in Europe.



Nestled in a deep natural bay, Pučišća is renowned for its white limestone, used in iconic buildings such as the White House, and is home to a famous stonemasonry school — the only one of its kind in Croatia. Take time to explore the town, stroll along the quaint waterfront, or simply unwind and soak up the atmosphere.



In the evening, enjoy the Captain’s Dinner with live entertainment on board. Overnight in Pučišća or Milna.

Please note: The Captain's Dinner on your cruise may take place on a different night depending on the schedule.
Day 7: Brac
Pusisca/Milna - Trogir. Depart early in the morning with a swim stop, followed by lunch on board. Arrive at Marina Baotić (Trogir) in the early afternoon, then transfer to Trogir for a guided walking tour.



Trogir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a picturesque coastal town renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture and narrow cobblestone streets. Nestled between the mainland and the island of Äiovo, it showcases a unique blend of Romanesque, Renaissance and Baroque styles.



The evening is at leisure. Overnight in Marina Baotić (Trogir).
