Day 1 • SPLIT
Welcome to Split. Upon arrival at the airport, you will be greeted by our representative and they will
get you settled aboard your transfer and you'll be on your way to Split harbor. Once you reach the
harbor, you will be able to check in. Cabins will be ready for you from 2 p.m. However, if arriving
early, you'll be able to safely deposit your luggage aboard the ship. After settling in, join our local guide
for a tour of Split's old town to get acquainted with Emperor Diocletian's Palace and learn about the
rich heritage of Split's millennial history. In the evening, we will serve the Welcome Dinner aboard the

Day 2 • SPLIT - HVAR
Early in the morning, while breakfast is served, we set sail for the island of Brač. Before lunch on
board, you will have time to enjoy a swim stop along the beautiful Brač island. After the swim stop,
we continue on our way towards the town of Hvar, on the south side of the eponymous island, the
longest island in Croatia, the sunniest in all Europe (2724 hours of sunshine per year) and undeniably
among the most beautiful islands in the world. Upon arrival join the guided walking tour of Hvar and
learn why this amazing town is a must-see on the historical map of Croatia.
Your evening is free to explore this amazing holiday spot by yourself.

Day 3 • HVAR - VIS
Early in the morning, while breakfast is served, we set sail for the island of Vis. With lunch served
on board, we will enjoy a swim stop at the Paklinski Islands. The island of Vis, formerly a major naval
base, was closed to tourists from 1945 until the breakup of Yugoslavia in the '90s, which helped
preserve the authentic appearance of its villages. We will arrive in Vis in the afternoon and you will
be free to explore the quaint town and enjoy its many treasures. We suggest a visit to the
Archaeological Museum, located in the old Austrian fort Gospina batarija (Batteria della Madona)
right on the shoreline or just a simple stroll along the seaside promenade as most of the bars and
restaurants are located along it so you are sure to find a lovely place to have dinner. You can always
get some good tips for dinner or points of interest from your cruise manager.

Day 4 • VIS - BLUE CAVE - KORČULA
In the morning, before breakfast, we sail towards Biševo and the unique natural phenomenon that
is the Blue Cave. The Blue Cave is a wonder of the Adriatic Sea and the most attractive sight of the
island of Vis, and you will get to see for yourself why so many people visit it each year. After the visit
to the Blue Cave*, we set sail for Korčula, stopping along the way for a swim and lunch served on
board. In the afternoon we arrive at Korčula, the birthplace of the famous explorer Marco Polo. Our
local guide will take you on a unique tour of the old town of Korčula. You will hear many interesting
stories and legends about the city and the life of Marco Polo, the most famous son of Korčula. The
casual approach to discovering the history and culture of Korčula will surely delight you.
In the evening, we suggest you enjoy dinner in one of Korčula's many exquisite restaurants. If
unsure, you can always get some good tips for dinner or points of interest from your cruise manager.
Overnight in Korčula.

*Please note that the Blue Cave is only accessible with small boats through an entrance just 1.5m high
so it is unfortunately easily made inaccessible by bad weather and high waves.

Day 5 • KORČULA - MLJET
Early in the morning, we depart for Mljet, one of the most beautiful and the most densely forested islands of the Adriatic. Isolated and untouched, the island is known for its mysticism, olive groves, vineyards, and rich forests. Take in the rich flora and fauna, and peacefully enjoy the pristine beauty of natural surroundings. Upon arrival in Pomena, a visit to a national park encompassing most of the island is planned. The park's highlights are the two saltwater lakes - the Little Lake and the Big Lake with its Benedictine monastery on the Isle of St. Mary. This evening you are invited to the Captain's Dinner aboard the ship.
Overnight in Pomena.

Day 6 • MLJET - SLANO
Early in the morning, while breakfast is served, we set sail for Slano. On our way to Slano, we will stop
for a swim in one of many picturesque bays dotting the coast. Upon arrival to Slano, we will embark
on our gastronomic adventure in Ston, well known for its extensive medieval walls and long tradition
of oyster farming, spanning over 2000 years. A short boat ride to the oyster farm in the middle of the
bay and, with a glass of wine in hand, we'll be tasting this natural aphrodisiac straight from the sea.
Talk about a gourmet's dream! We return to our ship in the late afternoon and spend the night in Slano,
where we will have the evening free to relax and enjoy the sunset. Your cruise manager will be on hand

from all parts of the world. Surrounded by its fabled medieval walls, Dubrovnik is widely known as the
"Pearl of the Adriatic". Upon arrival we will partake in a sightseeing tour of the UNESCO-protected old
town, acquainting you with its most important monuments and hidden spots. After the walking tour,
we leave you to explore the city on your own. Our ship will be docked at Gruž Harbour, and there are
