SAMPLE ITINERARY

 

Note: This is a sample itinerary, as each cruise takes a slightly different route, but it will give you a good idea of what to expect on a small ship cruise along the dramatically beautiful Dalmatian Coast. The dress code on board is strictly casual, with no dinner jackets or cocktail dresses required.

We sail from Dubrovnik to the stunning island of Korcula, with a swimming stop close to the Elaphiti Islands. On arrival you can join an optional walking tour of Korcula, once a Venetian stronghold and the alleged birthplace of Marco Polo.

We continue sailing around the tip of the picturesque Peljesac Peninsula and island of Hvar, continuing to Pucisca, nestled in a beautiful bay on the island of Brac.

The next day we dock in Omis on the mainland, with an included boat trip down the awesome Cetina River Gorge. We also take a coach tour to Krka National Park and Trogir, discovered by both the Greeks & the Romans and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We continue to Split, another UNESCO listed site, then sail south to the island of Hvar famous for its lavender, excellent wines and fig jams, with a swimming stop close to the beautiful Pakleni Islands.

We cruise on to the green island of Mljet and spend the night in the small former fishing village of Slano on the mainland. Close to Slano is the small historic town of Ston, known for its 5 km fortified walls, strong Dalmatian wine, ancient salt production & succulent oysters.

We have a final swimming stop off Lopud Island, before returning to Dubrovnik where we spend the last night. This famous medieval walled city was built between the 11th & 17th centuries. Today it is better known as the location for the hugely popular TV series, the ‘Game of Thrones’.
