Talk to the Expert
Although I was born in Zambia, raised in Zimbabwe (two land-locked countries), I am very passionate about travel on the sea. I’ve cruised extensively on luxury small ships and ocean liners around the world – I look forward to sharing my experiences with you.

Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1 Split
Begin your journey with a warm welcome from your driver upon arrival at Split International Airport. If you arrive early, you can be met at your local hotel. Either way, a private transfer will bring you to the port where your luxurious yacht-like ship awaits, with check-in from 1 pm on. Follow our local guide for an intriguing walking tour through the maze-like streets and alleyways in the 4th-century Diocletian’s Palace. You’ll see many influences by the Greeks, Romans, and Venetians as you marvel at the magnificently well-preserved buildings. Join us back on board for the Welcome Cocktail Reception and Dinner starting at 7 pm which includes introductions to your fellow passengers, the captain, and crew.
- Excursions Included: Guided tour of Split
- Meals Included: Welcome dinner and cocktail
Day 2 Trogir
Today, the cruise gets underway by departing for Trogir with its UNESCO-listed medieval walled town. Take a trip back in time by exploring on your own to see the 15th-century castle/fortress Kamerlengo and other highlights like the Romanesque-Gothic St. Lawrence Cathedral, the Town Gate, Town Hall, Central Square, and more.
- Excursions Included: Guided tour of Trogir
- Meals Included: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 3 Hvar
Our next destination is Hvar, known for its frequent sunny skies, lavender fields, and non-stop nightlife, but first, we’ll make a swim stop at Brac Island so that you can swim in the stunning turquoise waters that nearly surround Zlatni Rat, one of the most photogenic beaches in Europe. Continuing on to Hvar, upon arrival you’ll enjoy a wine-tasting tour that brings you to Jelsa, a small town that hosts a popular family-run winery to sample some of the delicious wines. Afterward, head to Hvar’s Old Town for a guided tour of the historical landmarks like the Hvar Theatre opened in 1612 as Europe’s oldest.
- Excursions Included: Wine tasting at a popular family-run winery on Hvar
- Meals Included: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 4 Vis
Sailing on to tranquil Vis, along the way we’ll cruise through the Pakleni archipelago for a swim stop in one of its dazzling secluded bays with crystal-clear blue water. This will be an extended stop, so you’ll have time to take advantage of the snorkel gear or other water toys on board too. Upon arrival to Vis, enjoy its unspoiled, serene atmosphere, thanks to being off limits to visitors for 40 years while used as a Yugoslav naval base. The afternoon is at your leisure for exploring, perhaps walking up to Fort George for a magnificent view over the island and sundowner cocktails.
- Excursions Included: Wine tasting tour on Vis Island
- Meals Included: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 5 Blue Cave & Korcula
Leaving Vis early this morning, an optional tour reveals a remarkable phenomenon of Mother Nature. You’ll hop in a small boat that can cruise through the narrow entrance of the Blue Cave and when conditions are right, the interior is illuminated in a stunning silver/blue glow. Continuing from here, visit Korcula Island, meeting our local guide at the Old Town gate for an inspiring tour. While it’s impressive outside of the stone walls, just wait until you see what’s inside. Note the significant Venetian influence as you listen to the stories behind landmarks like Arneri Palace and St. Mark’s Cathedral while walking the atmospheric streets.
- Excursions Included: Guided tour of Korcula / Guided tour of the Blue Cave (entrance fee payable locally)
- Meals Included: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 6 Mljet and Slano/Ston
Our cruise brings us to Mljet Island next, one of Croatia’s most beautiful and greenest isles. Just a short walk brings you to two famous saltwater lakes in the densely forested national park. Enjoy a stroll on your own to see their brilliant blue and green waters with Great Lake home to a tiny islet topped with a 12th-century Benedictine monastery. The traditional fishing village of Slano is our next stop. A quick walk brings us to an oyster farm where you can sample fresh oysters and mussels straight from the sea. This evening, join us for the Captain’s Dinner with live music on board.
- Excursions Included: Fresh oyster and mussel tasting experience at a Ston oyster farm
- Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Captain's Dinner
Day 7 Dubrovnik
Departing early for medieval Dubrovnik, our final destination, we’ll cruise around its imposing stone walls for an impressive view from the water first. Meet our local guide for a walking tour of the walled historic center with its many historical treasures, including centuries-old architecture built in Gothic and Renaissance styles. Enjoy leisure time to explore on your own. We recommend walking on top of the walls that encircle the Old City for views of the red-tiled roofs on one side, while the sea and nearby islands are on the other. You’ll find many rooftop eateries ideal for a gourmet dinner with a sunset view afterward.
- Excursions Included: Guided tour of Dubrovnik

Day 8 Dubrovnik Departure
With the eighth day here, you’ll enjoy one last breakfast on board, fueling up for your next journey. Take time to say your farewells to fellow passengers, new friends made, and the crew.

While goodbyes are never easy, we hope to see you again on another unforgettable trip.
