Day 2: Sunday - Dubrovnik – Korcula
Croatia's southernmost region holds many gems. Start with an optional walking tour* through Dubrovnik, also known as the Pearl of the Adriatic or the King's Landing. Whatever you consider the city's main features, Dubrovnik's mighty city walls and its courteous spirit will quickly transport you back to a time when this was an independent republic that successfully competed with the Republic of Venice. The outpost is your next stop, and your journey will only be interrupted by a refreshing swim in the Elaphiti Islands. You will realize that Korčula* was a Venetian fortress as soon as you notice the many lion statues adorning the facades and gates of the city, connected by some of the most outstanding stonework you will see on the Adriatic coast. Overnight in Korčula.

Day 3: Monday - Korcula – Hvar – Milna

This jet-set beauty is also the island with the most UNESCO World Heritage sites, so you should join our optional guided tour*. In the late afternoon, we will leave Hvar and set sail at sunset. Tonight, we will stay in Milna on the island of Brač.
*Hvar Walking Tour - optional walking package
Day 4: Tuesday - Milna – Split
After a short journey, we reach Split. The Diocletian Roman Emperor spared no expense in building a magnificent residence, importing marble, sphinx, and top-quality columns. The original palace was rebuilt by its new inhabitants in the Middle Ages, but it became even more beautiful and is what it is today: the vibrant heart of the city. Narrow alleys hide passages and courtyards, some abandoned and eerie, others lively and bustling with music from bars and cafes or the daily life of the residents; take an optional guided tour of Split* with our experienced guide. In the afternoon, you can take an optional excursion to the mainland, where you will be captivated by the dramatic cliffs overlooking the beautiful settlement of Omiš right at the mouth of the Cetina River. Consider exploring the Cetina River Canyon on a boat trip**. Overnight in Split.

Day 5: Wednesday - Split – Trogir – Šibenik
The first stop from Split is Trogir, a small Dalmatian town listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, located on an island and squeezed between the mainland and the larger island of Ciovo. Apart from the green parks, the entire island is inhabited by spectacular stone houses, palaces, churches, monasteries, towers, walls, etc. You will have time to visit the main attraction in Trogir* - St. Lawrence Cathedral, which is probably the finest example of sacral architecture in Croatia. The final destination of the day is Šibenik, where you can optionally take a walking tour*. Stroll with your guide through the narrow and winding streets, steep alleys; past the most important monument, the Gothic Renaissance Cathedral of St. James in the main square. With its beauty, structural peculiarities, and stylistic features, it represents not only the most significant and valuable monument of the city's architectural heritage but also a unique monument of European sacral architecture, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2001. Overnight in Šibenik.

Day 7: Friday - Zadar – Excursion to Plitvice Lakes
As you sail along the Croatian coast, surpassing the beauty around you may seem like an impossible task. However, there are places on the Croatian mainland that certainly rival it, such as the Plitvice Lakes.
Located in a dense forest, the Plitvice Lakes are considered one of the most beautiful natural phenomena in the world. Sixteen lakes, connected by 92 waterfalls, cascade through the picturesque surroundings. The Plitvice Lakes were declared a National Park in 1949 and have been on the UNESCO World Natural Heritage list since 1979. The park's attractions also include several caves and a wide variety of flora and fauna. A guided tour of the park takes about three and a half hours, including a boat ride and a walk.
Join us and enjoy the magical beauty of the lakes and waterfalls that create a spectacular landscape.

The respective docking points are assembly points. Several ships may dock next to or behind each other, making it necessary to cross over other ships. For logistical reasons, it may not be possible to switch off the generators at night, which can lead to noise and odor nuisance (e.g., from neighboring ships).
