Day 1: Dubrovnik
Monday. Welcome to the charming walled city of Dubrovnik! Check-in commences after 14:00. There’s free time to explore the city independently prior, stroll along Stradun Main Street or head to the top of the city walls for some great views.



This afternoon we enjoy a guided tour of the city. Following, we recommend you opt to ride the cable car to Srd Mountain where from the summit you can enjoy spectacular views of the Old Town, which starred in the hit TV show Game of Thrones (book locally). The evening is free in the city, before we set off tomorrow.
Day 2: Sipan or Trstenik
Dubrovnik - Sipan or Trstenik. This morning is free to relax onboard or wander back into Dubrovnik to further independently explore. We then cruise to either Sipan island or Trstenik. Sipan was a popular getaway for wealthy Dubrovnik families in the 15th century and there are many sprawling palaces on the island. The beaches are always quiet so it’s a fantastic place to relax and soak up some sun.



If we head to the pretty harbour town of Trstenik, then you can expect to see beautiful coves and unspoiled beaches. This quaint fishing village is located on the tip of the stunning Peljesac Peninsula and there are plenty of waterfront bars and restaurants for you to relax in. There’s time for a swim in the afternoon and we may be able to visit a local winery. Tonight, we join together for our 'Captains Dinner' with live music.
Day 3: Korcula
Sipan or Trstenik - Korcula. After breakfast, we set off for the island of Korcula and the town of the same name, arriving shortly after lunch. Korcula is famous for being the birthplace of the legendary merchant, explorer and writer, Marco Polo. The ancient walls of the town remind many travellers of Dubrovnik and the old town is very well preserved and full of architectural delights, including palaces and museums.



There’s an optional tour of the town and you can join a visit to a local winery. Alternatively, feel free to explore the narrow streets at your own pace and find a scenic seafront restaurant for dinner.
Day 4: Hvar
Korcula - Pakleni Islands - Hvar. We cruise to the pristine and secluded Pakleni Islands, home to lush pine forests and crystal-clear waters. Enjoy lunch with a view and swim in the turquoise waters of the Adriatic before we continue to Hvar, famous for its sunshine, lavender and wine.



There’s an optional sightseeing tour of Hvar town to see the amazing Renaissance cathedral, and the evening is free to relax in a bar or explore at leisure.
Day 5: Brac
Hvar - Brac - Split. Today we enjoy a visit to the most famous beach in Dalmatia, Zlatni Rat. The beach is located near the village of Bol, on Brac Island. After time to relax and explore this incredible setting we begin the final leg of our journey to Split, stopping for a swim in a secluded bay en route.



There’s an optional tour of UNESCO-listed Split on arrival, including the mighty Diocletian’s Palace. The final evening of your holiday is free to explore Split your way.
