Your cruise commences with an arrival transfer to your ship. Embarkation is from 2:00pm followed by an on board welcome reception.

DAY 2 Split - Brac - Hvar
Discover Split on our morning tour of its historic centre built around the 4th century Diocletian’s Palace. Then you will return to Split port to embark on your cruise through the stunning Dalmatian Islands.

DAY 3 Hvar
Your Hvar experience continues with an in-depth introduction to island life on one of the world’s most stunning islands. Explore small fishing villages, see its vineyard-covered hills, olive groves and undulating fields of rosemary and lavender (seasonal), followed by a traditional Peka lunch including wine tasting at a local konoba (traditional tavern). In the afternoon arrive to Hvar Town, the historical centre of Hvar Island, for a guided walking tour of this popular Adriatic hot spot. BL

DAY 4 Hvar - Vis
We continue our cruise with a stop for a refreshing swim in the warm waters of the Adriatic on our way to beautiful Vis Island. Until the late 80’s Vis was closed to tourists and served as a military zone for the Yugoslav army, because of this and coupled with its remoteness, it has helped preserve the island's authenticity. Enjoy time in Vis Town to experience the island's local food and wine, discover Greek and Roman ruins or simply marvel in the beauty of this island that featured in the movie Mama Mia 2. BL

DAY 5 Vis - Bisevo - Korcula
We cruise to Bisevo Island’s incredible Blue Cave, a unique otherworldly natural phenomenon. Only recently opened to the public, its silvery blue waters are a must to see. Afterwards enjoy lunch on board and a relaxing swim stop on the way to the island of Korcula. Cruise along the length of the island to enchanting Korcula Town where, on a walking tour, we will see the mighty fortress and city walls. BL

The Blue Cave is only accessible with small boats through an entrance just 1.5m high so it is unfortunately sometimes made inaccessible by bad weather and high waves.
DAY 6 Korcula - Mljet - Slano
Depart Korcula early and continue your journey to Mljet, one of Adriatic’s prettiest islands. Embrace the relaxed atmosphere and unspoilt beauty of the National Park, its two unique salt water lakes and medieval monastery.
