  • Dubrovnik

Enjoy a leisurely morning before boarding your Adriatic cruise at Gruz Harbor from 14:00.

After settling in, head to the Pile Gate for a guided walking tour of the old town. With mesmerizing medieval architecture, quaint limestone alleys, and distinctive terracotta rooftops, it's easy to see why so many fall under its spell. The tour also includes a cable car ride to Srd Mountain for panoramic views of the city and bays.

When the tour ends, get back to the vessel for a welcome reception and dinner.

When arriving in the tiny village of Slano, disembark for a half-day excursion to Ston. Walk along the impressive medieval walls, visit traditional saltworks, and savor freshly harvested oysters at a local farm.

This morning, the ship will sail to Mljet Island, known for its unspoiled natural beauty.

Anchor within the Mljet National Park, and explore this peaceful haven at your leisure: stroll around the salt lakes, and take a boat to St Mary Isle to visit an ancient Benedictine monastery. Couples and adventurers alike can hop on a bike or e-bike to wander through pine forests and lakeshores, seeking the park's tranquil landscapes up close (available at additional cost).

Cruise towards Korcula Island, the birthplace of Marco Polo.

Upon arrival, go ashore and explore this enchanting place through a guided walking tour. The jewel on the island is the historic town of Korcula, which boasts numerous historical sites, including the Romanesque-Gothic Cathedral of St. Mark, the 15th-century Franciscan monastery, and so on. Rambling through its historic walls, medieval squares, churches, palaces, and houses, you will find why people call Korcula the "Little Dubrovnik".

The ocean journey continues to Vis Island today.

Once a military island closed to visitors until 1991, Vis is the most off-the-beaten-path in Croatia, remaining a pristine escape where time seems to slow down. Spend the day at leisure to discover its well-preserved architecture and culture, or join a Military Jeep Experience to uncover the island's fascinating history (available at additional cost).

Weather permitting, cruise to the small Bisevo Island to visit the Blue Cave (entrance fee paid on-site). Marvel at a rare natural optical reflection phenomenon: sunlight refracts through the underwater entrance, turning the cave into a glowing blue world where the water shimmers and objects gleam silver.

Continue to the sun-soaked Hvar Island, stopping for a swim along the way. Follow a guided walking tour to explore Hvar's old town, where it blends the Renaissance with that of Venice. Then enjoy free time to experience its vibrant nightlife - numerous restaurants, bars and clubs open long into the night.
