If you opt to begin your journey in Split, the cruise will start by departing from Split harbor at 1:00 pm, but if you are running late, don’t worry, you can join the group in Makarska. For those looking for an adventure, there’s an optional zipline ride over the Cetina river canyon.
Our overnight stay will be in Makarska, a well-known tourist destination with great restaurants, bars, and a lively promenade. The Makarska Riviera offers plenty of magic and charm to explore, so be sure to take a walk through the city streets to visit its many churches and cultural sites.
Lunch
In the morning, we’ll set sail towards the beautiful island of Brač and the town of Bol, famous for its Golden Horn beach – a unique and striking natural phenomenon. After a refreshing swimming break and lunch, we’ll continue our journey to Stari Grad on Hvar Island, known as the sunniest Adriatic Island. You’ll have the rest of the afternoon at your leisure.
Stari Grad is home to the oldest field in Croatia, dating back to ancient Greek times, and it is still a remarkable example of the ancient Greek agricultural system. In addition to the old town, Stari Grad is also part of the world heritage sites protected by UNESCO. We’ll spend the night at one of the ports in Stari Grad.
Breakfast, Lunch
Our next stop will be the picturesque town of Hvar. After enjoying a delicious lunch, we will take a break to swim, relax, and refresh in the crystal-clear blue sea at the nearby Paklinski islands. We’ll arrive in Hvar in the afternoon and join a guided tour of the town (included on Premium Superior).
Hvar boasts numerous cultural and historical sites, such as the Renaissance cathedral, the oldest communal theater in Europe founded in 1612, the Franciscan monastery, and the Benedictine convent, famous for their lace listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Don’t miss the chance to visit the Spanjola fortress for breathtaking views.
We’ll start early in the morning by cruising towards the small Biševo island to witness the magnificent Blue Cave, a truly breathtaking natural wonder. Please note that an 18€ entrance fee must be paid on the spot.
Our cruise will then take us to the island of Vis, which was once a strategic navy harbor due to its unique geographical position and was closed to the public until recently. Vis’ isolation gives it a distinct charm, offering a glimpse of the “Mediterranean as it once was,” making it particularly interesting to visit. We’ll spend the night in the town of Vis, located on the island’s northern side, built near the remains of the ancient Issa, the first urban center in Croatia.
After enjoying a delicious breakfast, we’ll head towards Korčula, the birthplace of the famous explorer Marco Polo. As we approach the island, you will feel like you’re arriving at a miniature version of Dubrovnik. Korčula is steeped in legends, tales, and monuments, making it a fascinating place to explore. Plus, it’s the only place in the world where you can witness the Spanish medieval knight’s game – Moreška.
Upon arrival, you’ll have the opportunity to take a guided walking tour through the old town’s streets, arranged in the shape of a fishbone (included on Premium Superior). You’ll also have plenty of time to explore the numerous taverns, restaurants, cocktail bars, and nightclubs within and around the city walls. We’ll spend the night in port.
We’ll keep cruising towards the beautiful island of Mljet, one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic. The western part of the island is home to the stunning Mljet National Park, where you’ll have some free time to explore and admire the park’s natural beauty. It features two salt lakes connected to the sea by a narrow channel. You can even take a boat ride to St. Mary Isle in the Great Lake to visit an old church and monastery.
If you’re feeling active, you can also choose to cycle around, canoe, or swim in the lakes. Afterward, we’ll head towards Šipan, part of the Elaphite islands, or Slano on the coastline. Both are small fishing villages where we’ll spend the night in port and enjoy a special captain’s dinner (included on Premium Superior & Premium vessels).

We’ll start early in the morning to make our way to our last destination — Dubrovnik. We’ll stop for a quick swim after lunch. Upon arrival, we’ll embark on a guided tour of the city, followed by an optional cable car ride to the Srđ mountain for breathtaking views of the Old Town.
We highly recommend walking along the city walls, which span an impressive 1940 meters and offer magnificent views of the old town and the surrounding islands. We’ll spend the night in the Gruž harbor.
Finishing your cruise in the medieval town of Dubrovnik, it is time to check out and bid farewell to the crew and your newmade friends.

If privacy, luxury, and comfort are essential to you, you may want to consider selecting a vessel from the Premium Superior or Premium categories. Alternatively, the Traditional Ensuite vessels would be more suitable for younger passengers, including friends or special interest groups like alpinists or bikers, who are comfortable sharing small spaces and bathrooms for an extended period. However, it’s important to note that Traditional Ensuite vessels typically do not have air-conditioned cabins, and most have bunk beds.
The number of passengers per vessel can range from 20 to 40 individuals, depending on the size of the boat.
The electrical outlets found in the cabins of our vessels in Croatia are standard Type F sockets, which have two pins and are grounded. These outlets are compatible with plug types C, E, and F and can deliver a power output of 16 A and 220 V. Some newer vessels may also feature USB sockets.
All vessels are equipped with life-saving boats and life jackets found in designated wardrobes on the deck, in the salon, or under beds in the cabins. If you cannot swim, you need to inform the crew and captain. Additionally, passengers must be mindful of the following safety guidelines while on board:
The primary currency accepted on the ship and throughout Croatia is the Euro, but it is advisable to exchange money at a bank or withdraw cash from an ATM where possible. The local currency is required for drinks onboard and all additional services such as transfers, excursions, and accommodation. Premium and Premium Superior vessels offer credit card payment options.
While ATMs linked to international networks are available in major towns and islands like Opatija, Dubrovnik, and Split, smaller ones may not have ATM facilities. Most tourist areas accept major credit cards such as Visa and MasterCard, but it is recommended to have some cash on hand if you plan to travel off the beaten path.
Tips are not included in the tour price, and they are discretionary. They are usually given to show appreciation for good service and satisfaction with the crew, guide, and overall tour. If you choose to tip, it is recommended to use your own currency or Euro, and the crew gratuities are equally distributed among all members.
Cabins on Premium Superior and Premium ships come with either twin or double beds, and some can accommodate up to three people with an additional bed above or beside the double bed. However, it’s important to note that bed availability is limited, and we cannot guarantee a specific type. We do, however, aim to assign cabins based on guest preferences and requests, so please let us know your bed preference when booking, and we will try our best to accommodate it.
Cabins on Premium and Premium Superior ships come with either twin or double beds, with twin beds measuring approximately 90/100 cm x 190/200 cm and double beds measuring around 150/160 cm x 190/200 cm. Traditional Ensuite cabins often have bunk beds, but twin or double beds may also be available on some vessels. Double beds in these cabins are typically 130/140 cm x 190/200 cm, while bunk beds are about 80/90 cm x 190/200 cm in size.
The ship’s cabins are distributed on two levels, the deck and the lower deck. The on-deck ones can be found either on the main or upper deck, while below-deck cabins are in the ship’s hull. Rooms on the deck provide the advantage of direct access to the sea and better ventilation, while cabins below the deck may be quieter since only passengers who booked lower deck cabins pass by. These cabins are also comfortable due to their location at sea level, which keeps them naturally cool, and the below-deck hallways are typically air-conditioned, affecting the temperature. Lower-deck cabins usually come with small portholes.
Lower deck cabins are located in the boat’s hull and usually have a small porthole, but Croatian law and vessel regulations require them to be closed while sailing to prevent water from entering the cabin. The portholes can be opened when the boat is docked. However, on newer ships like those in the Premium Superior and Premium categories, which have air-conditioned cabins and steel hulls, the portholes are fixed and cannot be opened.
Air conditioning is available in Premium Superior and Premium cabins, except for times with limited access to electricity. Traditional Ensuite cabins do not have air conditioning, but lower deck hallways and salons typically do. Air conditioning is only operational when the motor or generator is running, or the vessel is connected to shore power while docked at the harbor. In certain smaller fishing harbors without electricity, air conditioning may be turned off to maintain a tranquil environment.
If you plan to sleep on the deck and enjoy the stars, it is suggested to bring a sleeping bag, as removing mattresses, pillows, and sheets from cabins is prohibited.
The boats have limited capacities for electricity and water. While there is a generator on board for generating electricity, it is not operational during the night or while the boat is in a quiet bay to prevent noise pollution. The water tanks on board have sufficient capacity to match the number of cabins and beds, and they are always filled with enough water, provided that everyone uses water conservatively. Moreover, the vessels are fitted with central heating systems that offer hot water.
It is not allowed to bring and consume your own drinks on the ship. However, you can buy various alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages from the vessel’s salon, which functions as a restaurant, living room, and bar. In case the drink of your preference is not available at the moment, kindly notify the crew, and they will try their best to procure it for you at the next stop.
The onboard bar accepts payments for drinks made in Euros. At the end of the trip, guests will receive a report showing the total amount spent on drinks, which can be settled during the checkout process. For guests on deluxe and premium vessels, credit card payments are also accepted.
