Split / Makarska
 13h is departure from Split harbor (late arrivals can join in Makarska) southwards towards Makarska. Lunch is served as we cruise along the Dalmatian coast. Feeling adventurous? There’s an afternoon swim stop in one of the bays. Then join our optional river rafting excursion or zip line on the Cetina river. Meet back on the ship in Makarska in the evening. Stroll the waterfront with its wide promenade, a pathway out to a lighthouse and some cool bars. The main square is home to an impressive church and other monuments.

Walk or hire a bike to continue around these stunning lakes. Overnight in the port of Polaca/Pomena depending on weather and space.
Day 3 - Monday, August 23, 2021
Mljet / Dubrovnik
 After breakfast depart for Dubrovnik, the most famous place in Croatia and, for many, the highlight of this cruise. The Irish writer George Bernard Shaw called Dubrovnik “heaven on earth” and we pass a beautiful stretch of coast on our way there. After arrival, you can explore on your own or join our guided city tour (included for Premium and Prem. Superior) followed by an optional cable car ride up to Srd mountain for spectacular views of the old town. Don’t miss STRADUN – both a street and a square in the old town and try to find time to walk at least part of the, 1,940 m long city walls which have protected Dubrovnik during earthquakes and attacks! Overnight in the port of this magical town.
Day 4 - Tuesday, August 24, 2021
Dubrovnik / Šipan, Trstenik
 Late morning departure towards the island of Šipan or the small town of Trstenik on the Pelješac peninsula. Gorgeous spots for an afternoon swim and we spend the night here. There’s usually the possibility to visit a local winery. Later we enjoy the special Captain’s dinner on board.
Day 5 - Wednesday, August 25, 2021
Šipan, Trstenik / Korcula
 After breakfast, we depart for the island of Korcula, one of the famous islands in the Dubrovnik region. It’s the birthplace of famous explorer MARCO POLO.

The encircling walls and bastions of Korcula town date back to the 13th century and there are some lovely churches and museums.

Korcula / Hvar
 Early departure towards the Paklinski Islands near Hvar (the longest island in the Adriatic) for lunch and a swimming stop.

Hvar Town offers an entertainment extravaganza: clubs and bars that open well into the night together with some excellent restaurants. Don`t forget to buy some island lavender from local stalls. Overnight in Hvar Town.
