C R U I S E P R O G R A M

Split is a gorgeous town on the Dalmatian coast known for its fortress-like

complex in its very center – the Diocletian Palace, built by the Roman

emperor in the 4th century. Within its white stone walls one can find

numerous shops, galleries, bars and restaurants – it’s a perfect maze of

authentic cobble stone streets to enjoy Split’s local charm before the

departure.

The check-in is at 15:00 and the boat departs at 15:30 towards the island of

Hvar – the town of Stari Grad. Lunch is served after the departure followed

by our first swim stop for guests to enjoy crystal clear and turquoise blue

water.

The boat arrives in the port of Stari Grad at approx. 17:00, allowing guests

to have a free afternoon for exploring or wine tasting (optional).

S P L I T – S TA R I G R A D

A B O U R S TA R I G R A DStari Grad (in English litteraly translated: the Old Town) is the oldest

town in Croatia! The vast plain that occupies the island’s central area is

considered a cultural landscape. The Stari Grad plain along with the old

town’s center have been listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites since

2008. Travelers also like to visit the TVRDALJ house, a 16th century

summer house with a scenic garden once owned by the renowned

Croatian poet and aristocrat Petar Hektorović. This place is the most

famous building in Stari Grad.

Time to rise and shine, because today the group is headed towards the

beautiful island of Vis. Our departure is usually between 7 and 8AM (the

guests are always notified a day earlier about the exact time).

It takes us 3 to 4 hours to reach the island of Vis. Our first stop is the

Stončica bay where we drop our anchor and enjoy a dose of swimming

time. After lunch, we cruise towards the port of Vis/Komiža (depending on

the weather).

The boat docks at approx. 15:00, allowing guests to have a free afternoon

to roam around the island.

A B O U T V I SThe magnificent island of Vis was closed for tourists until 1990 as it

was used as an army base, keeping that irresistible charm of the

untouched Mediterranean. In the town of Vis guests can visit the

Church of Our Lady. Apart from the incomparable calm vibe this place

has, one can also enjoy exploring the Franciscan Monastery, Ancient

Greek Cemetery and Roman baths. For the eager ones, there is also

the George the Third Fortress, built in 1813 by the British to protect

the harbor of Vis.

of Vis below the picturesque mountain Hum. It is a typical

Mediterranean village, attracting tourists with its beautiful coast and

narrow roads and houses. It is also known as one of the first fishing

villages in this area. There are some stunning gravel beaches to hit

along the whole east coast of the Bay of Komiža (such as Gusarica,

Nova posta, Velo zalo). People from Komiža have always been proud of

their fishermen's history, which remains can be found in the charming

Fisherman's museum.

The boat is leaving Vis early in the morning and our next destination is the

beautiful island of Korčula along with its main town, Korčula. On the way

to the island the group stops in one of the northern side bays – Račišće or

Kneža bay, for a refreshing swim stop.

free afternoon and evening to explore this lovely and breezy town.

V I S – K O R Č U L A

A B O U T K O R Č U L AKorčula claims to be the birthplace of Marko Polo and is also known as

one of the best preserved medieval cities in the Mediterranean (often

called “miniature Dubrovnik”). It is one of the greenest islands in the

Adriatic Sea as well, with an abundance of vineyards and olive groves.

While strolling through the old town, one might recognize a fish bone

pattern in its streets, a phenomena considered as a very smart

urbanistic achievement. All the travelers are amazed by this town’s

charming look and captivating vibe, enriched by a taste of excquisite

cuisine of the local restaurants as well as superb wine tastings.

After leaving beautiful Korčula, the group cruises blue waters heading

towards the island of Mljet and its main attraction, the Mljet National

Park. After a cooling swim stop around 10:00 followed by lunch, the boat

reaches local village Pomena (it is the closest place to reach the national

park). In case guests don’t want to go to the park, they can relax on the

nearby beach. Afterwards, the group heads towards one of the secluded

coves on the island and spends the evening on the anchor, accompanied

by the Captain’s dinner party (includes dinner with the boat’s captain and

hearing some of his fascinating stories). Of course, night swimming is an

option too!

island of Mljet. The part of the island that is included in the tour is a

protected National Park zone. Within the National Park Zone there are

two connected salt water lakes (The Big Lake and The Small Lake) and

within the Big Lake there is a small island called St. Mary’s Island with

a 12th century Benedictine Monastery. One can walk around the lakes

and visit the island by a local boat. However, there are a lot of options

for different activities here as well (people are allowed to swim in the

lakes so bringing the swim suits is a must)!

hours, to reach the beautiful town of Hvar. Along the way the group stops

on the island of Šćedro and has a refreshing swim stop in one of its coves.

After lunch another swim stop takes place in a superb Adriatic spot, the

Paklinski islands. Around 17:00 a water taxi boat picks up the guests and

transfers them to the port of Hvar (the boats are not able to dock until

20:00 since Hvar is small port with lots of catamaran services).

DAY 5 (Wednesday)


M L J E T – T O W N H V A R

A B O U T H V A RHvar is the sunniest Adriatic island and a fashionable destination too,

probably the most Croatian popular island worldwide. The island has

a rich history, tradition as well as beautiful nature; it is the only

destination in Croatia with three sites listed on UNESCO list of

protected natural and cultural heritage.

Hvar is also famous for its lavender fields – lavender oils and scent bags

are very typical souvenirs loved by female travelers, as well as agave

lace handmade by nuns from the Benedictine convent or local honey

with special flavours.

Today we are heading towards the most popular beach in Croatia – Bol.

After breakfast the group arrives to Bol and the Golden Horn beach. This

beach is famous for its constant changing of the shape due to sea currents

and winds. Guests can have a morning swim there (in case they want to go

to the beach, that is an option as well – transport by our tender boat,

followed by a return pick-up at 12:00). While enjoying a delicious lunch, the

boat will be heading towards the picturesque town of Makarska, the

location where the group overnights.

H V A R – B O L V I S I T - M A K A R S K A

A B O U T M A K A R S K AMakarska is one of the most popular tourist resort areas on the

Adriatic coast due to its long pebbly beaches and scenic mountains in

the background, creating a specific climate and picturesque views. One

can explore the streets and squares of Old Town behind the main

promenade, abundant with galleries, souvenir shops, cafes and

restaurants. One can enjos also the therapeutic benefits of fresh sea

air by walking through the green paths of St. Peter peninsula towards

west and then further to the beach for a lovely walk along the seaside

promenade. On the eastern side of the bay, marked trails through the

woods take hikers to the stretch of pebbles, squeezed between red

cliffs and attractive secret beaches.

The last day of the cruise takes the group to the town that has it all –

mountain, sea and river. Omiš lies at the mouth of Cetina river, which

splits the Riviera in a gorgeous canyon and provides truly stunning

scenery. This town is known for a few things; it was home to the most

vicious pirates in the 13th century – two fortresses from that time are still

preserved – Mirabela and Fortica. If one climbs them, they can witness

mesmerizing views. Omiš is also home to something very unique – the

Dalmatian ‘klapa’ – a male vocalist group performing songs about sea,

country and love. There is an option to organize a live acoustic band to

come on board for the last night, as a gift from the crew. In case the group

is not interested, we can recommend the best fish restaurants in town for

guests to visit.

Dalmatia, between the two tourist centres, Split and Makarska. The

the old town centre is a must – its streets full of small restaurants,

cafes, bistros, various shops and a colorful market make for a perfect

ending to the trip. There are also many historical sites, churches and

artworks from local artists to admire for all the culture buffs.
