Dubrovnik to Dubrovnik

Check in from 14.00h onwards at GRUŽ harbour. Dinner on board is your first meal. The first overnight is planned in Dubrovnik because of many guests arriving on different flights at Dubrovnik. This is a world famous and rather special place where the old town and many of the buildings have remained (some barely changed) from the time of the old Dubrovnik Republic. Many of the historic and cultural buildings belong to the architecture of the Renaissance period with some traces of the Gothic style too.

Morning departure and stop for lunch en route. Afternoon arrival in Korčula a local guide will lead you through the old town where tiny streets are designed in a fish bone pattern for a very good reason that you will hear about! On this Island you can find more legends, tales and monuments than anywhere else while you wander along the herringbone pattern streets.

We continue south to Split, Croatia’s second largest city where Roman Emperor Diocletian built himself a retirement palace now under UNESCO protection. Split waterfront is a happening place and there’s a buzz along the beautiful wide promenade.

Our next stop will be the Island of Brač and picturesque town of Bol. Walk along the promenade or swim at one of the most famous beaches in Dalmatia – Zlatni Rat (the Golden cape - known for its gravel promontory shifts from side to side as the wind and waves constantly change its shape). Bol is a typical fishermen’s town turned into a popular tourist destination.

Morning departure towards Hvar. Lunch stop on the small Island of Šćedro followed by a swim stop at the Pakleni Islands. Arrival to Hvar in the afternoon.Hvar is the longest Island in the Adriatic and one of the sunniest; known for lavish lavender fields and breathtaking beauty.We arrive in the afternoon on a tour of the town's historical landmarks-the Renaissance cathedral with its original tower, and the oldest community theater in Europe founded in 1612.

Next morning, we cruise to the Island of Mljet. Join the cruise manager for a stroll to the famous salt lakes in the Mljet National Park (entrance included) and enjoy the boat ride to St Mary Isle to visit an ancient Benedictine monastery, an old abbey and a Church dating back to the 12th Century. Departure towards the Pelješac peninsula, well known for its excellent wine. Lunch on board.

Departure towards Dubrovnik. Cruise around city walls before we go to Gruž port; lunch on board. Once moored, we transfer to the old town for a guided walking tour of this unforgettable place. In your own time, why not walk those famous ramparts (all 1940 metres long!), or take the cable car from the Old Town to Srđ mountain for fabulous views of the city itself and the Elaphiti Islands (ticket included).
