Afternoon arrival in Slano, a peaceful fishermen’s village and our starting point to Ston, situated on the Pelješac peninsula – a fortified small village famous for its oysters, which we will taste in a nearby village.

Day 3 SLANO – MLJET National Park – KORČULA, Monday (B, L)
In the morning, we head north to the Island of Mljet. Join the Cruise Manager for a stroll to the famous salt lakes in the Mljet National Park.

Overnight in Korčula where you can enjoy a gourmet experience at the multiple restaurants and bars.
Day 4 KORČULA – VIS ISLAND, Tuesday (B, L)
Early in the morning we sail to the island of Vis once a strategic naval Yugoslav base and restricted to the public. Due to this isolation, Vis has a special charm – “the Mediterranean as it once was” making it interesting to visit. Since the independence of Croatia, the island began opening slowly to the outside world. Some of Europe's largest and greatest naval battles have taken place in the waters around Vis. Vis Island holds many historic secrets and you can explore Vis history on your own by military Land Rover Defenders.
Overnight in one of the harbors on Vis Island.
Day 5 VIS ISLAND – BIŠEVO – HVAR ISLAND, Wednesday (B, L)
Early in the morning we sail to the small island Biševo to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon. The possibility of our visit will depend on weather conditions; however, you will be notified of this on time. Afterwards continue towards the island of Hvar, the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic, with a swim stop and lunch on board. Upon arrival in the early afternoon, disembark and join a tour of Hvar by Land Rover Defenders. We will drive through picturesque villages and visit Lavander Farm, stop for wine tasting and finish with Donkey Farm where we will have a lot of fun.
Overnight in one of the harbors Hvar Island.
Day 6 HVAR ISLAND – BRAČ ISLAND, Thursday (B, L,T)
Early morning we head towards Milna on the Island of Brač with a swim stop, weather permitting, in one of pristine bays, time to relax and lunch on board. After lunch we arrive in Milna still known as the most beautiful and most protected port on Brač. Explore this Dalmatian town dominated by a Baroque church with a typical Dalmatian bell tower. The interior of the church is rich in valuable paintings by Venetian painters.
Overnight in one of the harbors on Brač Island.
Day 7 BRAČ ISLAND – SPLIT – TROGIR, Friday (B, L)
In the morning, we will head towards Trogir with a stop along the way to swim and relax, if the weather permits, with lunch on board. After docking, join a short orientation tour through this medieval city. Trogir is sometimes referred to as “miniature Venice” or a “mini-Dubrovnik” because of its ancient walls, or a “floating museum town” - as it has a masterful architecture including some stunning Venetian palaces. In the late afternoon we will take a ride to Split where you will join a guided tour of historic old town that takes us to the Palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will see the remnants of Split’s Roman heritage, its Renaissance and Gothic structures, Jupiter’s Temple, the Peristyle, and the Cathedral. Enjoy your free time in Split and explore the city on your own. After an exciting evening, we transfer you to the ship.
Overnight in Trogir.
