Day 1: Dubrovnik - Šipan, Elaphiti Islands
Check-in starts at 5 pm. After you meet the crew and explore the yacht, the cruise will set off toward the island of Šipan, the largest of the Elaphiti Islands near Dubrovnik.
Covering just 16 square kilometers, Šipan has two main villages: Suđurad on the eastern side and Šipanska Luka on the western side of the island. Having been part of Ragusa, also known as the Dubrovnik Republic, during the 15th and 16th centuries, Šipan became a favored summer retreat for the nobility. Today, the remains of elegant mansions such as the Rector’s Palace and the Archbishop’s Palaces can still be seen across the island.
Numerous medieval churches also bear witness to its rich past. With its unspoiled nature and tranquil beaches, Šipan continues to attract visitors seeking a peaceful escape. Overnight on board.

Day 2: Šipan, Elaphiti Islands - Mljet
The next morning, the cruise continues toward Mljet, one of the southernmost islands in Dalmatia. Mljet is one of those magical places that instantly makes you feel relaxed. Its unspoiled nature and peaceful atmosphere make it one of the most enchanting islands in the Adriatic. A day of swimming, sunbathing, and sailing is the perfect way to soak up the island’s stunning natural beauty. If you’re up for a bit of activity, Mljet is also ideal for hiking or taking long walks. Alternatively, rent a bike and explore the island at your own pace. An interesting fact about Mljet is that one-third of the island is a national park, one of the oldest in the Adriatic. The park’s highlights are Veliko Jezero (Big Lake) and Malo Jezero (Small Lake). Veliko Jezero is particularly lovely thanks to the tiny islet of St Mary at its center, home to the Church of St Mary and a 12th-century Benedictine monastery. The calm, crystal-clear waters of the lake are perfect for a refreshing swim. The best way to explore the park is by bike, which can easily be rented at the park entrance. Overnight in Polače or Pomena, both offering a peaceful and scenic setting to end the day.

Day 3: Mljet - Korčula
After enjoying some peace and quiet in the verdant oasis of Mljet, the journey continues to the next stop, Korčula Town. Located on the eastern coast of the island of Korčula, the town is striking with its terracotta rooftops and well-preserved medieval city walls. This old town, listed on UNESCO’s Tentative List, is one of the most beautiful and popular sailing destinations in the Adriatic.
Korčula Town is home to several notable historical sites, including Saint Mark’s Cathedral, the Korčula Town Museum, the Bishop’s Treasury, the Marco Polo Museum, and the House of Marco Polo, where, according to local tradition, the world-famous traveler and explorer was born.
The town also features several beaches where you can swim in the turquoise waters and relax in the shade. After strolling through the charming, narrow, cobbled streets of the old town, enjoy dinner at one of the many romantic restaurants or cozy taverns offering exquisite seafood and fine local wine.
Overnight in Korčula.

Day 4: Korčula - Vis
After exploring the nooks and crannies of Korčula, the cruise continues to another stunning Adriatic destination, the island of Vis.
As one of the most remote islands in Dalmatia, Vis has remained a verdant oasis, offering peace and tranquility to its visitors. Its unspoiled nature and breathtaking scenery are partly due to the fact that the island served as a military base during the Yugoslav era, when it was closed off to foreign visitors. Today, some of the former military tunnels and warehouses are open to tourists, standing as fascinating reminders of the island’s turbulent past.
Vis abounds in picture-perfect beaches, crystal-clear waters, lush greenery, and sights that will keep you intrigued. Sunken ships and planes, remnants of the Roman port, and beautiful underwater caves provide compelling reasons why diving and scuba diving are so popular here.
On the northeastern coast lies the Town of Vis, where you can explore the harbor, stroll along the waterfront promenade, enjoy a delicious meal at an intimate seaside restaurant, and soak in the authentic scents of the Mediterranean. Overnight in one of the peaceful bays of Vis.

Day 5: Vis - Pakleni Islands-Hvar
The following day is reserved for another gorgeous sailing destination on the Adriatic, the Pakleni Islands, a group of enchantingly beautiful islands situated near the larger island of Hvar.
Most of the Pakleni Islands are uninhabited, but some offer small restaurants and visitor facilities. Saint Klement, the largest island in the group, features a marina, several restaurants, and even a botanical garden.
Lush, fragrant greenery, secluded coves, and crystal-clear waters are all part of what makes this chain of islands so beloved among sailors.
Later on, transfer by dinghy to the stunning town of Hvar, a true highlight of this journey.
Hvar Town, located on the southwestern coast of the island, is a radiant example of Mediterranean beauty. Winding alleyways, whitewashed stone houses with wooden shutters, and a waterfront promenade bathed in golden late-afternoon light offer just a glimpse of what awaits.
Steeped in history, Hvar is home to the beautiful 15th-century Franciscan Monastery and the first public theater in Europe. The town also boasts a wide range of excellent restaurants and bars where you can dine, unwind, and enjoy the lively atmosphere.
In recent years, Hvar Town has gained a reputation as one of Croatia’s top summer destinations, attracting celebrities and travelers from around the world. Overnight in one of the beautiful bays of the Hvar archipelago.

Day 6: Hvar - Brač
After exploring Hvar, the cruise continues to the island of Brač, the largest island in Dalmatia.
On the western side of the island lies the picturesque fishing village of Milna. Tucked into a deep bay, Milna is considered one of the safest harbors on Brač and is surrounded by numerous coves ideal for swimming, with crystal-clear waters and unspoiled natural beauty. With a rich maritime history, Milna once served as an important port for Venetian ships during the 16th century. The village is known for its traditional stone architecture and a charming waterfront promenade lined with cafés and restaurants. A stroll through Milna reveals the Church of Our Lady of Annunciation from the 18th century, adorned with valuable Venetian paintings.
Mooring in Milna is also a perfect opportunity to enjoy authentic Dalmatian cuisine in one of the inviting local restaurants. Overnight in Milna, Brač.

Day 7: Brač - Split
On the last day of the cruise, the route leads toward Split, one of the most vibrant destinations on the Adriatic coast.
Split is the largest city in Dalmatia and the second largest in all of Croatia. The historic center developed within and around the ancient Roman Diocletian’s Palace, making Split a 1700-year-old gem that captivates with its cultural heritage, scenic beaches, dynamic culinary scene, and authentic Mediterranean spirit.
The city's iconic landmark is Diocletian’s Palace, once the residence of the Roman emperor Diocletian and today a UNESCO World Heritage Site. More than just a historic monument, the Palace is the living heart of Split. Within its ancient walls are elegant restaurants, charming cafés, boutique shops, and impressive monuments that reflect centuries of history. Here, the past blends seamlessly with the present, creating a unique atmosphere few cities in the world can rival.
Sightseeing in Split offers something for everyone. The bell tower of St. Domnius’s Cathedral provides panoramic views of the city. The lively waterfront promenade is lined with excellent restaurants and bars, while museums, galleries, and ancient landmarks like the Temple of Jupiter invite exploration. The underground chambers of the Palace are particularly fascinating, offering insight into Roman architecture and the daily life of that era.
Peristil and Prokurative Squares are ideal for sipping coffee in the morning sun or enjoying a drink in the warm evening air. The statue of Grgur Ninski is a popular spot, and rubbing its toe is said to bring good luck.
For those looking to relax, several beautiful beaches are located within easy reach of the city center.
