At 13h departure from the Split harbour southwards, towards Makarska (late arrivals can join in Makarska). Lunch is served while cruising along the Dalmatian coast. Afternoon swim stop in one of the secluded bays en route. There’s an optional zipline ride over the Cetina River Canyon for adrenaline lovers. Enjoy Makarska in the evening. Stroll the waterfront with its wide promenade, a pathway to a lighthouse and some cool bars. The main square is home to an impressive church and other monuments and sights. Overnight in the port of Makarska.
Early morning departure towards Mljet, with a swim stop on the Pelješac Peninsula. Part of Mljet Island is a national park (entrance fee to be paid on the spot). In the afternoon, plan to visit its seawater lakes, the peaceful, tiny St Mary’s Island in the middle of the large lake, the church and the monastery. Walk or hire a bike to explore these stunning lakes. Overnight in the port of Polača or Pomena.
After breakfast, depart towards Dubrovnik, the most famous town in Croatia and, for many, the highlight of this cruise. The Irish writer George Bernard Shaw called Dubrovnik “heaven on earth”. Unbelievable views of the surroundings along the way, enjoy and admire the beautiful stretch of the coast. Upon arrival, explore on your own or join a guided city tour (included on Premium and Premium Superior), followed by an optional cable car ride up to the Srđ mountain for spectacular views of the old town. Do not miss Stradun – both a street and a square in the Old Town- and walk at least part of the 1.940 m long city walls that have protected Dubrovnik during earthquakes and attacks! Overnight in the port of this magical town.
The morning is free so you have plenty of time to explore Dubrovnik. Leave this magnificent city around midday to continue your cruise to Sipan Island or the small town of Trstenik on the Peljesac Peninsula, for a swim in the afternoon and to spend the night. There will be an optional visit to a local winery.
After breakfast, depart towards the island of Korčula, one of the famous islands in the Dubrovnik region. It’s the birthplace of the famous explorer Marco Polo. Lunch on board in a bay near the Korčula town. The encircling town walls and bastions date back to the 13th Century and there are some lovely churches and museums. Overnight in one of the ports of Korčula, depending on availability (main port in the town center/ port of Dominče / ferry port (3 km away).
Early departure towards the Paklinski Islands near Hvar (the longest island in the Adriatic) for lunch and a swimming stop. Later, there is an optional afternoon sightseeing of Hvar, which resembles a film set. The Renaissance cathedral has its original tower and the oldest community theatre in Europe, founded in 1612. For those in good shape, Hvar offers an additional challenge - on the hill above the town, the fortress Španjola has dominated for centuries, strong and stable. Discover history once again, this time from a new dimension! Restless individuals always looking for fun will also find their empire here - numerous restaurants and bars open late into the night. Don`t forget to buy some island lavender from local stalls. Overnight in Hvar.
The next stop is the island of Brač. Bol is a typical fishermen’s village but also a popular tourist spot. From here, visit the most famous (and most photographed) beach in Dalmatia, Zlatni Rat – renowned for its ever-changing shape, a shingle bar that moves according to the wind. Enjoy a walk through the pine forest from Bol to the Golden Horn beach or ride the tourist train (with an additional fee). After lunch, navigation towards Split – the approach to the Split Riviera is wonderful and offers the best views from onboard. Upon early afternoon arrival, join the optional guided tour of Split, a monumental city which, together with the famous Roman Diocletian’s Palace, is under UNESCO protection. Split is full of bistros and restaurants serving local specialities, as well as cool bars.
An early breakfast before the final goodbyes to the new friends and crew and check-out.

The cruise on Pape Prvi from Split
The cruise on Pape Prvi from Split - Dubrovnik and back was wonderful experience: family owed boat with great food, friendly hosts, clean; well informed and nice guide from Katarina tours; great choices of places to dock (and see), good balance between history, culture and nature. The sunny and warm weather was a surprise plus, also the group consisted of very pleasant people (not a single "professional" complainer). Dream vacation! Daniela P

The small size of the sailing ship and the wonderful character of the crew made this a wonderful week packed with once in a lifetime views, excursions and food. I enjoyed it very much. I hope to do it again. Linda M
Southern Croatia cruise from Split
Overall an excellent way of exploring the Croatian coast. The crew and guide were first rate. The cabins were comfortable and slightly larger than expected. The itinerary with the swim stops worked well. Jonathan W
Southern Croatia cruise from Split
It was out of this world met some Brilliant people who spoilt Alan for his birthday.
The weather was gorgeous, the scenery was amazing. We have travelled a lot but this is def no 1 on our list. Zoran our leader was an absolute star. One of the nice things is that the walks etc only cost 10 euro so we didn't have loads to pay and our guides were so informative about the islands. Even the drinks on board were reasonabIe. I have sent the details to about 5 of our friends.

Southern Croatia cruise from Split
Dear Caroline, just writing to say the Croatian cruise aboard “ Admiral” was absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t fault it. The boat was immaculate, the crew so helpful and good fun, only 26 guests on board - a mixture of young and old but everyone blended in. Zoran our boat manager was an absolute gem and definitely made the cruise for me. He is so passionate about his country and so knowledgeable. His talks were a delight to listen to. The weather was fantastic the whole week and swimming off the boat was a delight. I could go and on! I will definitely be booking another cruise with your company hopefully to Alaska with my husband this time.
Thank you once again for all your help in making this a memorable trip.
Kind regards, Eileen .
