Check-in is from 2 pm on and once you’ve settled in, you’ll join our local guide for a walking tour of the city’s famous walled historic center. Stroll the Stradun, its main thoroughfare, and marvel at buildings like the 16th-century Renaissance Sponza Palace before returning to the ship for our Welcome Cocktail Reception with dinner. You’ll enjoy a multicourse meal, introductions to your fellow passengers, the captain, and crew, and an overview of the journey ahead.

Day 2 Slano/Ston
Our departure this morning starts by sailing around the walls of Dubrovnik’s Old City for a perspective from the water. We’ll continue by traveling toward the nearby Elaphiti Islands for your first swim stop and then head to the coastal village of Slano on the mainland. Upon arrival, marvel at its ancient ramparts and then take a short walk along the coast to Ston where you’ll hop into a small boat to reach the heart of the estuary for a unique tasting experience. Sample fresh oysters straight from the sea, complemented by local wine. This evening, the Captain’s Dinner will be hosted on board.

Day 3 Mljet & Korcula
Departing early for Mljet Island, upon arrival you can enjoy the short walk to the famous saltwater lakes in Mljet National Park. A boat ride can bring you to tiny St. Mary’s Islet in the middle of Great Lake which is home to a 12th-century Benedictine monastery. From there, our cruise continues to densely forested Korcula, best known as the birthplace of international explorer Marco Polo. You’ll meet our guide at the gate of the walled Old Town for a walking tour that reveals historical landmarks like the St. Mark’s Cathedral with the Venetian winged lion of St. Mark and the House of Marco Polo.

- Meals Included: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 4 Vis
Departing Korcula after breakfast, we’ll cruise toward the furthest island from the Croatian coast, tranquil Vis. Once a strategic military base, it was closed to the public for 40 years, and combined with its isolated location, has managed to remain largely unspoiled. Upon arrival to the north side of the island at Vis town, enjoy time to explore its maze of charming streets on your own. You might visit the archaeological museum and ancient ruins that include the necropolis of Issa, town walls, and a theater. Walking up to Fort George brings a breathtaking view and is an ideal spot for sipping wine at sunset.
- Excursions Included: Wine tasting experience
- Meals Included: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 5 Blue Cave & Hvar
Cruising toward sunny Hvar, with its spectacular landscapes that include aromatic lavender fields, and vineyard-covered hills, we’ll stop at Bisevo Island for a tour of the Blue Cave. Enter in a small boat to witness the sea grotto as it’s illuminated in a brilliant blue light and then reboard as we continue to Hvar. You’ll get an orientation tour hosted by your cruise manager upon arrival and then head to the rolling hills for a wine-tasting experience at a family-run winery. Returning to Hvar Town afterward, the evening is all yours – we recommend a sunset view dinner in one of the many outstanding restaurants.

Day 6 Zlatni Rat Beach & Trogir
Our ultimate destination is Trogir, but first, one of the most exciting swim stops will be enjoyed off the shores of one of the most photographed beaches in all of Europe, Zlatni Rat, with translucent blue waters on three sides. If you aren’t in the swimming mood, perhaps enjoy coffee in charming Bol. Continuing to medieval Trogir, its UNESCO-listed walled Old City is like an open-air museum, with many impressive buildings like St. Lawrence Cathedral, one of the finest examples of sacral architecture in Croatia. A guided walking tour brings it all to life and you’ll have time on your own to explore as well.
- Excursions Included: Guided tour of Trogir
- Meals Included: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 7 Split
The final full day of the cruise brings us to ancient Split. We’ll depart Trogir early, and upon arrival at our destination, you’ll join our local guide for a walking tour of the Old City. It includes Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace, a vast complex that hosts some of the most well-preserved Roman architecture, covering nearly half the historic center. Afterward, enjoy leisure time strolling the famous Riva, a seaside promenade. This evening, head to one of the many eateries in the palace housed in a centuries-old building to celebrate the conclusion of your trip with a gourmet dinner on your own.
- Excursions Included: Guided walking tour of Split
- Meals Included: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 8 Split Departure
While goodbyes are rarely easy, after a week filled with memories, it’s time for departure.

You’ll be met by your driver upon disembarkation for a private transfer to Split’s airport to catch your flight home or head elsewhere, or to a local hotel if you plan to spend more time here.
