Itinerary

Show all

Your journey begins in Zadar, where check-in starts at 14:00. Meet your crew over a welcome cocktail, followed by a guided tour of this historic city: the Roman Forum, 9th-century St. Donatus Church, Venetian walls, and modern attractions such as the Sea Organ and “Greeting to the Sun.” Dinner and overnight in Zadar.

Next, cruise south with a swim stop before docking in Skradin for an afternoon in Krka National Park, famous for its waterfalls and emerald pools. Continue to Sibenik, where a guided walk highlights the UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St. James and the medieval old town. Evening free for dining. Overnight in Sibenik.

Sail on to Trogir, a UNESCO site often called a “miniature Venice.” Explore its Romanesque and Renaissance heritage before enjoying a festive Captain’s Dinner with live music. Overnight in Trogir.

Finally, cruise to Hvar, the sunniest Adriatic island. Stop for a swim at the Pakleni Islands, then tour Hvar Town, with its Renaissance Cathedral, 17th-century theatre, and hilltop fortress offering spectacular views. Evening free for Hvar’s lively restaurants, cafés, and nightlife. Overnight in Hvar.

After breakfast, we sail from Hvar toward Vis, one of Croatia’s most fascinating islands. Enjoy a swim stop in a quiet bay before lunch on board. In the afternoon, arrive in Vis Town, once a closed Yugoslav naval base that preserved its authentic charm—“the Mediterranean as it once was.” Near the ruins of ancient Issa, Croatia’s first urban settlement, visit a family winery hidden in a former military tunnel for a tasting. Overnight in Vis.

In the early morning, we visit Bisevo Island and its famous Blue Cave, a natural wonder best seen in the morning light (entrance fee payable on site, weather permitting). Continue south with a swim stop and lunch before reaching Korcula, a medieval treasure of stone walls and legends. A guided walk reveals its herringbone streets, Gothic-Renaissance architecture, and ties to Marco Polo. The evening is free to enjoy its restaurants, wine bars, or seaside atmosphere.

Approaching Dubrovnik from the sea is unforgettable. As lunch is served, admire the walled city rising dramatically from the coast—George Bernard Shaw’s “heaven on earth.” Dock for a guided tour of the Old Town, then explore at leisure: walk the 2 km stone walls, take the included cable car to Mount Srd, or visit museums like Sponza or Rector’s Palace. Overnight in Dubrovnik.

After a final breakfast on board, bid farewell to crew and fellow travelers before disembarking at 9.00.
