We start the day with breakfast and a guided walking
tour of Split. We visit the historic inner city, built around
the Palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, a UNESCO
World Heritage site. We then see the remnants of Split’s
Roman heritage, it’s Renaissance and Gothic structures,
Jupiter’s Temple, the Peristyle, and the Cathedral. After
the walking tour, we set sail towards Bol, home to one of
the most breathtaking beaches in Croatia: the Golden
Horn. This vast, golden pebble beach is unique in that it
changes shape and position depending on the
direction of the winds. After a swim, we head to Hvar,
one of the most popular islands in the Adriatic and a
rendez-vous point for the international jet-set. The
“Croatian Madeira” is also one of the longest islands in
the Adriatic. We spend the evening and overnight
docked in Stari Grad, one of the oldest towns in Europe.
(B, L)
Following breakfast, there is a short sail towards the
island and town of Hvar for a sightseeing tour featuring
the first public theatre in Europe, the Franciscan
Monastery and many more historical sights. Then we
cruise towards the Island of Vis, arguably one of the
most beautiful islands off the Croation coast. The small
and historic town of Vis was founded around 397 B.C. In
2017, the movie “Mama Mia! Here We Go Again” was
filmed here. Our tour of Vis features the town’s
waterfront and its spectacular and unspoiled nature.
The evening is at leisure. (B, L)
After breakfast, we set sail for Korcula Island, thought to
be the birthplace of the famous explorer Marco Polo.
Our port of call for the day is Vela Luka (the “big
harbor”) town, dating back to pre-historic times. After
lunch onboard, we depart for an afternoon ‘Korcula
island tour’. On the island, we visit an olive oil mill, the
Barilo Ethno Museum, and a vineyard for wine and
cheese tasting. We then return to our ship for an
evening at leisure. (B, L)
There will be some time for swimming before we
continue our cruise for Korcula town. There, we walk
through the narrow, cobble-stone streets and visit the
majestic Gothic Baroque Cathedral of St. Mark. The
evening is free to discover more of the town and enjoy
dinner on your own at one of the many local
restaurants. (B, L)
Today we set sail for Mljet Island. Mljet National Park
features five types of forest, many species of birds, and
two deep lakes, Veliko Jezero (Big Lake) and Malo
Jezero (Small Lake). This amazing island was supposedly
a favorite holiday spot for the Greek hero Ulysses!
Onboard our ship tonight, there is a Captain’s dinner
with live entertainment and a glass of wine. (B, L, D)
While having breakfast, we sail to Dubrovnik, the “Pearl
of the Adriatic”, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. In
Dubrovnik, we take a walking tour of the old town and
visit the Rector’s Palace and the Franciscan Monastery
with its Pharmacy. The remainder of the day is free to
further explore this wonderful city on your own. (B, L)
After breakfast, it’s time to disembark. You will be
