Join Us August 9th, 2026

ITINERARY - TBC

Arrival in Split -overnight

Arrive at Split airport and travel to the port to board your ship.

Arrival in Split-details

Begin your journey to Split. On arrival you will be met and transferred to harbour to board

your superb ship, the magnificent four-star, twin-masted MV. As you step on board, you’ll be

warmly welcomed by the crew or Cruise Director who’ll be on hand to help you settle in and

familiarise yourself with this exceptional vessel.

You’ll have the rest of the day to unpack and unwind – perhaps taking a stroll ashore before

it’s time to enjoy dinner in the ship’s elegant restaurant. Tonight, chat with your fellow

guests over a digestif from the bar as the sun goes down over this historic city.

Bol and Vis (overnight)

Leave Split harbour behind and sail to Bol and Vis.

Today we’ll sail to Bol. As we leave Split’s legendary skyline far behind our voyage begins and

what an adventure we have in store! The Dalmatian coast is reputedly one of the most

stunning in the world and certainly one of the most dramatic; towering walls of limestone

cliff slice the sapphire depths below, interspersed with ribbons of shingle beach, pretty,

secret coves and idyllic bays.

As we arrive in Bol – a town on the Croatian island of Brač, the third largest island in the

Adriatic – you’ll be welcomed by the view of a cluster of little fishing boats jostling in its

picturesque harbour, fringed by characterful stone cottages.

You’ll step ashore to explore the tangle of winding lanes that are unchanged by time,

stopping to admire the cheerful blooms cascading from wrought-iron balconies and

shuttered windowsills. 

There’s time for a refreshing dip too so after you’ve worked up an appetite, lunch is served

on board whilst you savour the views of this spectacular archipelago, before time for a

refreshing swim off the ship. 

Vis (overnight)

Our next stop is the nearby island of Vis. An Allied Forces base during World War II, the

island was also used as a Yugoslavian naval base and closed to visitors until 1989. Step

ashore into its gorgeous harbour with a quaint jumble of stone houses nestling at the calm

water’s edge and a spectacular wild mountain backdrop behind.

**There’ll be time to wander at your own and visit sights of Mamma Mia& find out where

Yougoslav navy was hiding during the second world war!?

Hvar + Jelsa

(overnight) 

 (wine tasting- more peaceful)

Sail to Hvar for guided tours, stopping for a swim along the way.

Guided walking tour of Hvar

Swim stop

Hvar

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast whilst we sail to Hvar Island with its stunning swathes of pebble

beach and coastline studded with pretty bays and coves. Fed by freshwater springs, the

island is lush and green with hillsides draped in an aromatic blanket of pine and eucalyptus

forest and the foothills a spectacular mosaic of ancient olive groves and lavender fields.

Join your local guide on a walking tour around Hvar town's historic little centre – where the

streets don’t even have names! See the majestic St Stephen’s Square, the largest in

Dalmatia, with a 16th century fountain and lined by fine honey-coloured stone buildings and

bustling cafés.

Back on board soak in the spectacular views sailing through this breath-taking archipelago.

After lunch there’ll be another opportunity to swim in these clearest of waters/late arrival to

Jelsa- wine tasting.

Dinner on own.

Korčula

(overnight)

Depart for Korcula in the morning during the breakfast - we arrive in 2,5 hours in front of the

historic walled town of Korčula and moor on the picturesque little quayside. Swim stop.

Known as Black Korčula by the Greeks due to its thickly forested interior, the island was ruled

by the Venetians for 800 years and was famed for supplying timber to build Venice’s

legendary wooden walls. It also provided a major shelter for the Venetian fleet and its

Italianate atmosphere is evident as you explore its characterful lattice of winding streets and

cool, shaded alleys. There’s a view to capture around every corner in its exquisite old town -

no wonder it’s affectionately termed ‘Little Dubrovnik’. The legendary explorer Marco Polo

was born here, and his house can still be visited, as can the All-Saints Museum, with its

unique collection of religious icons and exhibits.

Trogir

(overnight)

Swim stop in the morning a guided walking tour of Trogir, plus free time to explore.

Swim stop

Guided walking tour of Trogir

Trogir

A historic coastal gem with its imposing city walls, a wealth of ancient sights and classic

waterfront neatly fringed with glossy palms, it was founded by the Greeks. There followed a

succession of rulers who all left their mark here amongst the stately Romanesque and

Renaissance buildings.

At the heart of the old town, you’ll find the majestic cathedral, one of the most impressive in

the Adriatic. Trogir’s lanes are tucked behind an attractive waterfront and imposing 15th-

century walls. Discover this delightful place on a walking tour with your local guide.

We remain moored here overnight so this evening hop ashore to dine in one of the

characterful restaurants serving local Mediterranean inspired menus: simply grilled fresh

fish, pasta with seafood or hearty meat dishes - look out for dishes cooked peka, very slowly

under a ‘bell’.

Split

(overnight)

Enjoy your last swim stop this morning before lunch on board en route to Split for our

guided tour of the Diocletian's Palace.

Split details

Free morning sailing with swim stop/Guided walking tour of Split and Emperor Diocletian's

Palace

Free morning sailing

We enjoy a leisurely start this morning and after breakfast we continue our journey . Make

the most of this relaxing morning on board, soaking up the sun on deck or enjoying a drink

with newly made friends in the bar. We stop at the island of Ciovo for our final swim stop,

before lunch on board en route to Split.

Split

On arrival, join your knowledgeable guide for a walking tour of the sights including the huge

Emperor Diocletian’s Palace, one of the greatest structures of the Roman Empire and

recently used as the setting of the TV spectacular Game of Thrones. 

No expense was spared in its construction – the best Italian marble, with columns and

sphinxes from Egypt. But what makes this palace so astonishing is that during medieval

times it was fully integrated into the town’s fabric with a jumble of buildings grafted onto

and inside it. This means for example, the Temple of Jupiter became a baptistry. It’s all the

more fascinating that today 3,000 people still live here. You will find surprises at every turn:

there are tall medieval buildings lining the streets, buttressed by unmistakably Roman

columns.

Later perhaps choose the old town for dinner before returning for a nightcap on deck,

against the backdrop of Split’s beautiful skyline.

Our final day’s sailing arrives but there’s still so much to enjoy this morning. sailing back

towards the island of Brač, the third largest in the Adriatic.

We arrive in the fishing port of Postira to spend the morning exploring more of this island.

The landscape here is typically Mediterranean - pine-scented uplands with vineyards and

citrus groves tumble down to deserted beaches. Take in a panorama from Vidova Gora, the

islands highest peak before we enjoy a visit to the Olive Oil Museum Škrip, to sample the

excellent produce. The olive oil here is renowned with olive cultivation dating back to the

Venetian years. We moor overnight for our final evening on board, enjoy dinner at leisure.

Return home

It’s time to say goodbye to your crew and start the journey
