Day 1 - Dubrovnik, Croatia
Welcome to the “Pearl of the Adriatic”, Dubrovnik. Where city meets coastline, you will arrive in this beautiful 12th century walled city in Croatia. From the moment you step beyond the stone walls that protect Dubrovnik, you’ll understand what makes it so special. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is adorned with charming squares and centuries-old red-roofed buildings. Walk the walls for a spectacular view of the city, and maybe even dare to recreate your own ‘walk of shame’ as seen on HBO’s “Game of Thrones”!
After checking into your stateroom, it’s time to head OUTbound and explore this living fairy tale town on your own. Within the ramparts, Old Town is a fun jumble of steep alleys, al fresco cafés, and vast pedestrian squares. Narrow cobbled alleys line the main pedestrian street and the walls that surround the city form an ideal walking tour. Listen to live bands, sip drinks in a local bar, or dine in one of the many restaurants lining the harbor. Just be sure to get back to our ship this evening where you’ll meet your hosts, fellow OUTbounders, and raise a glass at our welcome party.
Day 2 - Korcula, Croatia
We’ll visit Korcula and its historic Old Town, overlooking the breathtaking Dalmatian archipelago. See and experience its art, history, culture, traditional crafts, and sword dances. No OUTbound visit to Korcula would be complete without learning about its most famous inhabitant, Marco Polo. Korcula has a lot to offer its visitors. The island is rich in vineyards, olive groves and small villages. Korcula is also home to a glorious old town and dense pine forests that led the original Greek settlers to name the island Korkyra Melaina (Black Corfu).
Today we'll enjoy breakfast on board as we sail for the Elaphiti Islands with time for swimming in the warm Adriatic. We'll arrive in Slano, the gastronomic center of the county. Once there we will visit an oyster farm to enjoy a tasting of oysters and mussels paired with local wines. We then travel to Korcula, birthplace of famed explorer Marco Polo. After lunch and a swim we'll take a guided tour to discover the town's medieval core and winding streets. The evening is then free for you to explore on your own.
Day 3 - Makarska, Croatia
Today we cruise to the famous tourist destination of Makarska. Enjoy free time here to walk along the city streets with its abundance of churches and other cultural sites, swim in one of the beaches or join us for a thrilling river rafting excursion on the Cetina River and go zip lining over the canyon.
Day 4 - Split, Croatia
Lined with palm trees, this Adriatic seaside town is also a cultural mecca. Split’s Old City is so otherworldly that it’s been dedicated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll encounter the most imposing Roman ruins left on Earth, including the Diocletian’s Palace, which was built for the Roman Emperor. The Cathedral of St. Domnius stands as one of the most pristine and preserved examples of ancient Roman architecture in the world. And for a breathtaking, all-encompassing view of Split you won’t soon forget, head to Marajan Hill just outside the city.
Come with us for a tour of Split, a young city where life is bursting around the Diocletian’s Palace. We’ll tour Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace, built for the Emperor in 295 AD. Next, we’ll pass through Peristil Square, originally used for celebrations to honor Diocletian as the living son of Jupiter. Across from the steps of the square is Luxor Café & Restaurant, one of the oldest bars in the city and named for the Egyptian city of Luxor. Several stone sphinxes constructed during the reign of Pharaoh Tuthmosis III still sit within the Square. Finally, we’ll visit Diocletian’s Mausoleum, also known as the Cathedral of St. Domnius.
Day 5 - Hvar, Croatia
Condé Nast travel magazine called Hvar “one of the best 10 islands in the world”. The "Lavender Island” is Croatia’s most luxurious island, the sunniest place in the country, and its most popular tourist destination along with Dubrovnik. Your day here can include exploring a castle, visiting the oldest theatre in Europe, tasting spectacular local delicacies, or stopping at an ancient olive grove to learn about what Homer called “liquid gold”. Highlights of the port town include its 13th-century walls, a hilltop fortress and a main square anchored by the Renaissance-era Hvar Cathedral.
This morning we cruise back to the island of Brac to Bol, famous for the ever changing Zlatni Rat Beach (Golden Horn). Next we'll set sail for the sunny island of Hvar, where we will join a guided sightseeing tour of the historical town with its labyrinth of streets and famous Renaissance church. In the evening you'll have time on your own to enjoy the lively restaurants, bars and cafes that line the port.
Day 6 - Mljet, Croatia
We’ll visit Mljet, home of the mythical Odysseus Cave and Croatia’s greenest island with its Mediterranean vegetation, clear ocean waters, gentle sandy shoreline and a wealth of underwater sea life. Mljet is well known for its white and red wines, olives and goat cheese. It is indeed an unspoiled island covered by a dense Mediterranean forest. According to legend, after being shipwrecked on Mljet, Odysseus found refuge in this cave where he met the nymph Calypso and remained under her captivity for seven years. This hidden spot provides one of the most striking swimming caves in the world.
Join us for a tour of Mljet, one of the most beautiful islands in the Adriatic. Here we’ll dive into the Odysseus Cave and experience its calm, neon-blue waters filled with iridescent fish and a spectrum of electric colors that illuminate the interior rock walls. According to legend, after being shipwrecked on Mljet, Odysseus found refuge in this cave where he met the nymph Calypso and remained under her captivity for seven years.
