Departure from Dubrovnik harbour Gruž at 13:00h (late arrivals can join in Slano), lunch is served while navigating along the Dalmatian coast either to one of the Elaphiti islands - Šipan, or to the small village Slano on the mainland. Both are peaceful fishermen's villages where there is often a fabulous sunset. Overnight in the port.
After breakfast, cruise towards the island and Mljet National Park (entrance fee to be paid on the spot). Lunch on board. Free time to enjoy the salt lakes in the National Park and enjoy the sun and sea on this tranquil island. The large lake is inside the National park, and in the middle one can visit an old abbey and church, or just use a canoe to roam around the lakes in the National park. Bicycles can also be hired to cycle around the paths surrounding the lakes. We continue to the island of Korčula where we arrive in the late afternoon. Join our guided tour of Korčula. Surrounded by ancient walls and fortified bastions Korčula’s old town is very well preserved with its layout and structure dating back to the 13th century. Overnight in one of the ports of Korčula, depending on availability (the main port in the town centre/ port of Dominče / ferry port (3 km away).
Early in the morning, cruise towards the little island of Biševo and visit to the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon. As sometimes weather conditions can be very unpredictable, the visit depends on prevailing conditions. Entrance to Blue Cave is to be paid on the spot. The cruise continues towards the island of Vis, which has a unique geographical position and was once a strategic harbour for the Yugoslav navy – it was closed to the public until recently. Because of this very isolation, Vis retained a special charm of ‘the Mediterranean as it once was’ which makes it really interesting to see. Overnight in the town of Vis, situated on the northern side of the island, developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia. If interested, visit the remains of the Roman thermal place and city museum or simply take a walk enjoying the views of the beautiful villae rusticae situated along the waterfront. For those wandering to see more – rent a car or scooter and explore this wonderful island on your own.
The next destination is the tiny island of Šćedro near the island of Hvar. Upon arrival, time to relax and refresh in the clean, crystal-blue sea. Departure towards Hvar after lunch, followed by an optional guided tour (included on Premium Superior). Hvar is the longest island in the Adriatic. Visit the magnificent Renaissance cathedral with its original tower and the oldest community theatre in Europe which was founded here in 1612. Hvar offers plenty of restaurants, bars cafes and clubs, open long into the night. Overnight in the Hvar harbour.
Leave Hvar and continue our cruise towards the island of Brač, more precisely to the town of Bol, best known for its famous Zlatni rat beach (Golden horn), a natural phenomenon that with its specific form dominates the other beaches of Croatia. After the swimming break or short walk around the village we continue towards Makarska where strolling along the streets, you will come across numerous churches and other architectural and cultural sites. Overnight in port.
Today's destination is Pučišća, a typical Mediterranean village, situated on the northern side of Brač island at the bottom of a deep bay. But before reaching it, stop for swimming and relax in some secluded bay along the route. After lunch on board, explore Pučišća, home of the world-famous white stone of Brač. There is a possibility of visiting one of the few stone masonry workshops left in Europe. Overnight in the port with the Captain's dinner onboard.
Departure for the last destination, the city of Split, with arrival in the early afternoon. The Old Town of Split is the maze of streets and cobblestoned lanes that surround the 1700-year-old Diocletian's Palace (the Emperor chose this spot for his retirement villa). Both the old town and Diocletian's Palace are under UNESCO protection. People's Square (Narodni Trg) is the heart of the Old Town. Cafes and restaurants spill out into the square and one of the highlights of a visit here is gazing up at the old town clock. On arrival join the guided tour of Split with an English-speaking guide. Overnight in Split.
Breakfast and time to say goodbye to the crew and all your new friends!

Croatia, Dubrovnik to Split, on the Majestic. Wow, what a trip. We had the best time possible with the best bunch of people, the best ever crew and the best host. The lovely Irena and the staff on this boat could not have done a better job of keeping us entertained, fed and in absolute awe of their beloved Croatian coastline. We had so much fun on the night of the Captain's Dinner, that even neighbouring boat passengers joined us for a dance. Spectacular!!! We will be back....... Chris M
