Cruise from Split to Split with President

Early in the morning we set sail for the island of Korčula, rich in vineyards, olive groves and small villages with numerous bays and coves. Swim stop in one of the peaceful bays, perfect to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of the unspoiled nature, lush vegetation and crystal-clear sea. Lunch on board. Afternoon arrival in Korčula. This medieval ”little Dubrovnik”, said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo, has an ancient atmosphere and we will enjoy getting to know it on an interesting tour along its winding streets. After the tour, make the best of the evening and sip a glass of local wine in the cooling breeze, take a dip in the sea, or even climb the church steeple for the best view of Korčula there is.

Early in the morning we depart for the Elaphiti Islands with a swim stop around one of the many beautiful spots along the islands. As we continue our journey towards Dubrovnik, enjoy the lunch onboard while sailing towards the jewel of the Adriatic. This is the perfect time for you to make some magnificent photos and memories that will last a lifetime. After docking in the modern port of Gruž, you will have the rest of the day free to visit the UNESCO protected Old Town. After visiting this stunningly intact walled city on the Adriatic Sea coast, you will have the opportunity to experience the best things this town has to offer by yourself for the rest of the evening.

Today we sail to Mljet -the most forested island in the Adriatic and one of the most beautiful pearls of the Mediterranean. Mljet is also well known for its two salted lakes - Veliko and Malo Jezero located at the north-west end of the island. The Benedictine monastery, situated on the island of St. Mary on Veliko Jezero, one of the most beautiful locations in the area, is also the most visited spot and symbol of the National Park. Join the cruise manager on this magnificent tour and find out why the Greek hero Ulysses consideredit his favourite holiday spot. (Mljet National Park entrance fee is not included) Return to the ship followed by Captain’s dinner aboard.

In the morning we set sail towards the island of Vis. With lunch on board and a swim stop along the way, we arrive in Vis in the early afternoon. The island of Vis, formerly a major naval base, was closed to tourists from 1945 until the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 90's, which helped preserve the authentic appearance of its villages. In the afternoon you will have time to enjoy Vis at your own pace and enjoy everything it has to offer. 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.

In the morning, as breakfast is served, we set sail for Hvar, with a swim stop on the Paklinski Islands and lunch served on board. Hvar, the longest island in Croatia, the sunniest in all Europe (averages 2724 sunny hours each year on) is undeniably among the most beautiful islands in the world. You probably don’t know that the first public theatre in Europe is located here in Hvar (older than Shakespeare’s theatre in the UK) which is only one detail testifying to the island’s rich cultural heritage. You can join the guided 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.

Note: port of call can be substituted for Stari Grad because of the limited capacity of Hvar harbour. In that case transfer to and from Hvar will be organized. 

Early in the morning we set sail for the island of Brač, where a swimming stop is planned in one of the splendid bays around its western coast. Enjoy our last day specialties as we sail to our final port Split. Upon arrival, join the walking tour through Split with an expert guide who will bring the past to life and tell you a lot about Split today. Stroll the streets and learn many interesting facts that make this unique town’s history full of intrigue. Take part of the story of this more than 1700 years old town, founded by the Roman emperor Diocletian who chose this beautiful place as his retirement residence. Let the story of who he was and why he loved Dalmatia so much amaze you!

After breakfast, it’s time to disembark.
