Dates and Prices
Excursions
- Day 1: UK - Croatia
Fly to Split and transfer to the port to embark your ship, where the captain, tour manager and crew will welcome you aboard and help you settle into your comfortable, well-appointed cabin. Meet your travelling companions over drinks and dinner, which is included on board this evening. The ship remains moored in Split overnight, so perhaps after dinner you may like to go ashore and enjoy a drink in one of the local bars. The ship’s bar will also be open should you decide to stay on board.
- Day 2: Split – Omis – Pucisca on Brac Island
After breakfast enjoy your first taste of real Dalmatian life in awe-inspiring Split. Croatia’s second-largest city seamlessly brings together the country’s traditional and contemporary elements. Our local guide will take us on a walking tour of the Old Town where we will see Diocletian’s Palace, which is an amazing example of Roman architecture and features a myriad of hideaway bars and cafes. After our tour we return to our ship and set sail at midday to Omis.
As well as last night’s dinner, our cruise includes a daily buffet breakfast and six 3 course lunches. Inspired by local ingredients and produce, all the lunches are freshly prepared by the chef on board. Every evening we are in port so you can explore ashore and choose your own restaurant for dinner. When you come back on board why not sit under the stars on the sun deck and enjoy a nightcap from the ship’s bar?
Lunch is served as we sail to Omis, which is on the delta of the Cetina River. An ancient town with city walls, fortresses and stone churches, for centuries Omis was a stronghold of the Corsairs in the long historical fight against the Republic of Venice. We then continue our cruise, crossing the Brac Channel to the island of Brac where we moor in idyllic Pucisca, the largest village on the island. Pucisca is renowned for its stonemasonry and the island’s famous white limestone was used to build the columns of the White House in Washington DC. Overnight in Pucisca.
- Day 3 Pucisca – Bol – Hvar
As we depart from peaceful Pucisca enjoy a leisurely breakfast as we sail towards Bol, known for having one of the finest beaches in Europe, the Zlatini Rat or Golden Cape. You can wander through the charming town and along the promenade or enjoy a swim before returning to the ship for lunch. After lunch as we sail to Hvar, soak up the sun and enjoy the views of secluded bays and idyllic coves. Hvar is the sunniest of all the Croatian islands and an attractive tourist destination. Upon arrival in the evening, a local guide will walk us through the town with its historical landmarks. After our walk the evening is at leisure. Hvar’s many restaurants, bars and cafes are open long into the night. Overnight in the port.
- Day 4 Hvar – the Blue Cave – Vis
An early departure this morning as we sail to the island of Vis, making a port of call en-route at Bisevo Island where there will be an opportunity to visit the Blue Cave (sea levels permitting/entrance payable locally).
Vis was a closed island until 1989, due to its status as a military installation. Now, visitors can enjoy this largely untouched island, with its superb beaches and an impressive inland mountain chain. The town of Vis features Venetian-Gothic architecture and the white-walled Our Lady of Spilica. The island is also home to the ruins of Issa, an ancient Greek settlement and the oldest urban centre in Croatia.
- Day 5 Vis – Korcula
This morning we sail towards the island of Korcula, with a swim stop and another delicious lunch on board before sailing into Korcula town. Korcula’s Old Town is referred to by the locals as “Little Dubrovnik” and is a delightful collection of medieval churches, palaces and squares. On arrival we’ll have a guided walking tour of the charming Old Town with its narrow streets, which are laid out in a herringbone pattern. After our guided walking tour, you are free to explore this beautiful town further. Korcula has a variety of harbour side restaurants and cafes, so you can easily choose for dinner.
- Day 6 Korcula - Mljet National Park - Slano
Enjoy the views of the Korcula islands archipelago as we head towards the island of Mljet where, legend says, the Greek hero Odysseus spent many years after he was captured by the nymph Calypso. Spend some time exploring the National Park, the Great and Small Lake and don’t forget to visit the 12th century Benedictine Monastery. We then continue today’s cruise whilst enjoying lunch, sailing to the charming village of Slano which is situated on the mainland.
- Day 7: Slano – Dubrovnik – Included Sightseeing Tour
After breakfast we sail for UNESCO listed Dubrovnik, our last port of call on our fabulous cruise. Approaching Dubrovnik from the sea is a spectacle in itself, with the city’s vast medieval walls appearing the same today as they did 700 years ago. Regarded as the “Pearl of the Adriatic”, with its World Heritage listed Old Town providing a treasure-trove of Medieval, Venetian and Baroque architecture, this Dalmatian city will astound you.
Arriving in Dubrovnik’s bustling port in the afternoon, a coach takes us to meet our guide for our included walking tour of Dubrovnik’s Old Town, which is completely encircled by its 15th century stone walls. The main avenue, the Stradun, is lined by inviting cafés and restaurants and is completely paved with marble. Other highlights will include the Franciscan Monastery that houses Europe's oldest pharmacy, and the Rector's Palace (entrances payable locally). After the tour the time is your own to make further discoveries in this fascinating city. Perhaps stroll around the 1,900 metres long walls or take a ride on the cable car to the top of Srd Hill for breathtaking views of the city and beyond. Perhaps enjoy dinner in the Old Town in a rooftop restaurant, whilst admiring one last sunset over the Adriatic. A return coach transfer to the ship is scheduled for this evening or you can easily return on your own. We stay overnight in the port of this magical town.
