Cruise from Dubrovnik to Split with Mama Marija

After breakfast our English speaking guide and coach will arrive to the pier. We’ll visit the historical centre of Dubrovnik, the famous city enlisted as UNESCO’s World Heritage Site, where your guide will show you the most interesting sights of Dubrovnik. After the city tour you’ll have some free time to explore the place on your own, visit the City Walls or take a scenic cable car to the top of Mount Srđ with its stunning 360° vista. This day we are not going to have lunch on board, so you can spend more time in Dubrovnik and see why this city was deservedly nicknamed “The Pearl of the Adriatic”. Return coach transfer is scheduled at 13:30. Then we’ll sail out for the Island of Šipan where we’ll anchor in Šipanska Luka or in the coastal town of Slano, located on the mainland. Slano is one of the most picturesque places on the Dubrovnik Riviera, with beautiful beaches, dense pine forest and olive groves, a long cultural tradition and numerous historical monuments. If we stay in Slano, for all interested, we will organize an optional excursion to Ston, a fortified town famous for its 5-kilometre long walls, old saltwork and oysters/mussels farm. Reservations and payment on the spot. This night we’ll have dinner on board.  

Our day starts with a morning departure towards Mljet National Park. When we arrive there, you’ll have just enough time to explore the park, walk around the Great and the Small Lakes, visit the Islet of St. Mary with its Benedictine Monastery from the 12th century and, of course, take a swim in the heart of the National Park. Entrance fee to Mljet National Park are included. With lunch served on board, we’ll sail for the Island of Korčula, arriving there in the afternoon. The town of Korčula is the island’s main settlement and is known as the birthplace of Marco Polo, one of the world’s most famous explorers of all times. Our English speaking guide will take you for a tour of Korčula Town, through its narrow cobbled streets to learn about its rich history. You’ll have the rest of the evening to yourself to enjoy dining at one of the local restaurants of your choice.

In the morning we’ll cruise to the Island of Vis, with lunch on board and a swim stop on the way. Arrival to Vis is scheduled for the afternoon. Compared to other Adriatic islands, Vis is rather unique. Being an important strategic military stronghold for centuries, Vis was spared the excessive tourist development and thus retained its unspoilt beaches, ecological agriculture and traditional architecture. Enjoy your afternoon exploring the town of Vis, its picturesque stone streets, pristine beaches and fine taverns. For all interested we will organize an optional Vis Island excursion, ending in Komiža, a stunning fishermen's village, where we'll have dinner in one of cosy restaurants. Reservations and payment on the spot.

Today we'll cruise to the Island of Biševo and its Blue cave, one of the most famous natural attractions in whole of the Adriatic Sea. The Blue Cave is a water-logged cave that can be approached only by boat. However, sometimes high waves prevent boats from entering the Blue Cave, which is something we cannot know before the time designated for our visit. In case we can't enter the Blue Cave due to rough sea conditions, you will get a full ticket refund. After a swim stop and lunch on board we’ll continue cruising along many coves and bays, towards Hvar, the sunniest Croatian island. Hvar is one of the country’s most attractive tourist destinations and a meeting point of international jetsetters. Upon our arrival to Hvar, a local English speaking guide will walk you through this unique city, introducing you to its millennia-long history, culture and a way of life. Afterwards, you'll have an evening on your own to explore and dine in one of numerous family owned restaurants and taverns. 

In the morning we’ll cruise towards Bol, a place best known for its beach of Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape), which regularly hits the top lists of the most beautiful European beaches. Once we stop in Bol, you can enjoy simple pleasures such as taking a walk around this nice little Dalmatian town, perhaps having a cup of coffee or a swim, until lunch is served on board. After lunch we’ll continue cruising towards Trogir, another city inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, arriving there during the afternoon. This town - museum is literally packed with palaces, churches, monasteries and towers. A professional English speaking guide will take us for a city tour of Trogir. Afterwards, you’ll have some time on your own, free to explore. On this evening we'll have Captain's Dinner on board, along with live music entertainment. 

In the morning we'll sail out for Split, our last port on this cruise, with a swim stop along the way. After lunch, our English speaking guide will do an afternoon Split City tour, walking us through the world famous Diocletian’s Palace. Split is the second largest urban centre in Croatia and the seat of the Split-Dalmatia County. Over 1700 years old, Split abounds with cultural and historical sights, lots of them situated within the Split’s historical nucleus which has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List ever since 1979. After the city tour you'll have some time to explore this lively and bustling Mediterranean city and to enjoy an intimate farewell dinner on your own. 

After breakfast it's time to say farewell to all your new friends
