7 Night Dubrovnik to Split Signature Cruise

Our driver will meet you at Dubrovnik Airport or your hotel and you’ll be driven to the ship to Gruz Harbour, checking in from 2 p.m. on. Stow your bags in your luxurious cabin and then get ready to take a walking tour of the beautiful medieval city with an expert local guide. On route to the Old Town, stop for a panoramic photo opportunity as you get a unique vantage over the Old Town and glistening Adriatic.

After your guided tour of the Old Town, you will return to the ship for the Welcome dinner reception.

The first stop on the journey will be on the mainland with a visit to the fishing village of Slano. It sits at the entrance to another fortified village, Ston. Here you’ll be able to gaze up at its medieval ramparts and take a stroll along the coast to a sought after family run oyster farm. Enjoy a short boat ride and shot of grappa on route to the unique oyster harvesting spot. On arrival enjoy fresh oysters, mussels and wine in this beautiful location.

An early departure will bring us to lush Mljet Island, much of which is protected by a national park that’s famous for its two salt lakes. Join our cruise manager for a stroll through this peaceful park and a swim in its inland lake. We continue our cruise to Korcula, renowned as the alleged birthplace of international explorer Marco Polo. Enjoy a guided walking tour through the fortified Old Town where you’ll see plenty of glimpses of its Venetian past.

Setting sail from Korcula, we’ll cruise to the jet-set island of Hvar, one of the most popular Croatian islands with its outstanding dining and nightlife scene to discover in Hvar Town. The medieval center enjoys a gorgeous backdrop of sun-bleached white homes and the sparkling Adriatic. On arrival in Hvar, enjoy a short orientation tour of the Old Town before setting off for wine tasting at one of Croatia’s best family wineries. Sample a selection of local wines and snacks in a beautiful location.

Discover the irresistible charms of Vis as we cruise to the furthest inhabited island off the Croatian mainland. Especially unique, it feels like another place in time as it was kept off limits for some 40 years by the Yugoslav army. Along the way, you’ll get to experience the Blue Cave. If weather conditions permit, we can enter to witness the remarkable natural phenomenon that occurs when the interior of the sea grotto becomes illuminated in a brilliant blue glow.

As Vis fades away, we sail onto Sibenik, a captivating fortified city founded over 1,000 years ago on the coastal mainland. It hosts the Sibenik Cathedral, one of the most important architectural monuments of the Renaissance period in all of Croatia. You’ll have time to view it and more this evening as you explore the backstreets and narrow alleys, but first we’ll visit nearby Krka National Park and its magnificent waterfalls. Enjoy a walk through its lush forest and then witness the breathtaking Skradinski Buk falls. Back on board, feed your appetite at the Captain’s dinner which includes live entertainment.

Your 7-night island-hopping cruise through Croatia ends in spectacular way, a grand finale that includes a guided tour of Split’s Old Town, nearly half of which is covered by the UNESCO-listed Diocletian’s Palace, built in the 4th century by Roman Emperor Diocletian as a summer residence. Discover medieval Brace Radica Square with its 15th-century Marina Tower, the Temple of Jupiter and more. Take a stroll along the seafront Riva promenade shady by towering palm trees before enjoying a meal in one of the historic center’s enticing restaurants.

Enjoy breakfast and time to exchange contact information as you say goodbyes to fellow passengers and crew, before heading to Split Airport or your hotel in Split.
