Adriatic Explorer from Dubrovnik (Premium Plus) - 8 Days

Dubrovnik - Sipan/Slano. Departure from Gruz Harbour in Dubrovnik is at 1pm today. Cruise along the beautiful south Dalmatian Coast while enjoying lunch as we travel down to one of the Elaphite Islands - Sipan or to the small village Slano, where we overnight. Enjoy your evening meal at one of the many restaurants and experience the fantastic sunset in this small fishermen's village.

Please note: This itinerary is for 2027 departures. If you're travelling in 2026, please contact us for your itinerary.

Sipan/Slano - Mljet - Korcula. This morning, we cruise towards Mljet National Park, where entrance is at an additional cost, then enjoy lunch on board as we continue into the park.

You then have free time to explore the park's famous salt lakes. The larger lake has an old abbey and church at its centre, and you can hire a canoe or bicycle to explore further.

By late afternoon, we arrive at Korcula, where we join a guided tour of the old town, ringed by ancient walls and fortified bastions and remarkably well preserved.

Please note: Depending on availability, the overnight stay may be at the main port in the town centre, the port of Dominče, or the ferry port, 3 km away.

Korcula - Vis/Komiza. This morning, you have the option to cruise to the small island of Bisevo to visit the Blue Cave, at an additional cost and weather permitting.

We continue on to Vis, once a closed Yugoslav naval base whose long isolation left it with an authentic, unspoilt charm - often described as "the Mediterranean as it once was." The island sits near the remains of ancient Issa, Croatia's first urban centre.

You're free to explore at your own pace - the Roman Thermal Baths, the City Museum, or a waterfront walk past the ancient villae rusticae are all worth a look, and renting a car or scooter is an easy way to see more of the island.

Vis/Komiza - Hvar. We arrive at the tiny island of Scedro, near Hvar, for some time to relax and refresh in its clean, crystal-blue waters.

After lunch, we continue to Hvar, the longest island in the Adriatic, where we join a guided tour taking in the magnificent Renaissance cathedral with its original tower, and Europe's oldest community theatre, founded in 1612.

This evening, you can enjoy Hvar's choice of restaurants, bars, cafes and clubs, many open late into the night, before we spend the night in the harbour.

Hvar - Bol - Makarska. We leave Hvar and cruise to the famous fishing village of Bol on Brac, a popular tourist spot known for Zlatni Rat - Dalmatia's most famous and most photographed beach, a shingle spit that constantly shifts shape with the wind.

You can walk through the pine forest to the Golden Horn beach, or take the tourist train instead, at an additional cost.

Back on board, we continue to Makarska, a town with a distinctly Mediterranean feel, where you can stroll the streets taking in its many churches and other architectural and cultural sites.

Makarska - Pucisca. En route to Pucisca, we stop for a swim in a secluded bay before lunch on board.

Pucisca is a typical Mediterranean village on the northern side of Brac, at the bottom of a deep bay, renowned for its world-famous white stone. You're free to explore the village, with the option to visit one of the few remaining stone masonry workshops left in Europe.

This evening, we mark the Captain's Dinner on board.

Pucisca - Trogir. We cruise towards the UNESCO-listed town of Trogir, our final destination, stopping for a swim in a secluded bay before lunch on board. We arrive in the early afternoon.

Often described as a living museum, Trogir's beautifully preserved old town sits on a small island between the mainland and Ciovo, offering an intimate finale to the journey. Our guided walking tour winds through narrow marble streets lined with Renaissance and Baroque palaces, taking in the Cathedral of St Lawrence and Radovan's Portal, one of the finest examples of Romanesque art in Croatia.

You have the evening at leisure to enjoy the atmosphere of this charming coastal town, before we spend our final night together in Trogir harbour.

Trogir. After breakfast, we say goodbye to the crew and our new friends! Our tour coimes to an end in Trogir, a short drive from Split Airport.
