The island of Hvar is known for its natural beauty and long history. Visit the town of Stari Grad, one of Europe's oldest settlements, surrounded by the UNESCO-listed Stari Grad Plains—an agricultural landscape shaped by Greek settlers over 2,000 years ago. Sample local wines or walk through olive groves and stone terraces that have stood the test of time.

Arrival early morning (Sibenik)
Departure early evening (Split)

Begin your day in Sibenik, the gateway to Krka National Park. An optional excursion takes you to the waterfalls, surrounded by forest trails and river pools. In the afternoon, your ship reaches Split. Explore Diocletian's Palace, one of the world's most complete Roman imperial complexes, now alive with shops, courtyards, and stone alleys. Walk past Saint Domnius Cathedral or enjoy the lively rhythm of the Riva promenade along the sea.

Arrival early morning
Departure late afternoon

Cruise through the Bay of Kotor, one of the most striking landscapes in the Adriatic. The walled town of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lies at the end of this narrow bay surrounded by towering cliffs. Walk through its stone gates into a maze of medieval streets, climb the fortress walls for a dramatic view of the sea and mountain, or visit one of the town's old churches, many dating back to the 12th century.

Arrival early morning
Departure late evening

Dubrovnik is one of the Mediterranean's most iconic cities. Entirely encircled by thick medieval walls, the UNESCO-listed old town stuns with its polished stone streets, Gothic and Renaissance palaces, ancient monasteries, and views that drop off into the deep blue Adriatic. Visit the Rector's Palace, walk the full length of the city walls, or take the cable car for sweeping views of the red-tiled rooftops and the Elaphiti Islands.

Arrival early morning
Departure late afternoon

Often called a "mini Dubrovnik" for its fortifications and layout, Korcula Town is full of history and local identity. Climb the stone staircase into the old town and visit Saint Mark's Cathedral or the alleged house of Marco Polo. The surrounding island is known for its unique white wine Grk, grown in sandy vineyards near Lumbarda, as well as Pošip and Plavac. You'll find family-run wineries offering tastings in stunning settings.

Arrival late morning
Departure evening

Rovinj is one of the most photographed towns on the Adriatic. It is known for its steep alleys, pastel façades, and views from the hilltop Saint Euphemia Church. While its fishing tradition still lingers in local cuisine, today's atmosphere is more refined. Art studios, wine bars, and well-preserved Venetian-era buildings line the stone-paved streets. Walk through the Balbi Arch or watch the late sun paint the old town in golden tones.
