En route to your next destination, Trogir and its medieval Old Town, you’ll enjoy a swim stop in a secluded bay. Upon arrival at the UNESCO World Heritage Site, you can join our local expert for a guided tour through the maze of streets and alleyways, looking like an open-air museum. Its rich architectural history spans over 2,300 years, with notable influences from the Venetian, Roman, and Greek periods. Those who haven’t visited Split might opt to hop on the bus for a walking tour of the ancient city, including Diocletian’s Palace with some of the world’s most well-preserved Roman buildings.

This morning, we’ll depart for Vis, a remote island (the furthest from the Croatian mainland) that served as a military base for 40 years, during which the public was banned from visiting, allowing it to remain wonderfully tranquil and unspoiled, exemplifying the term “the Mediterranean as it once was.” Arriving in the mid-afternoon, the remainder of the day is at your leisure, providing the chance to experience everything from idyllic beaches to rich history, and the mouthwatering local cuisine in one of the enticing waterfront cafes. An olive oil and wine tasting presentation will be enjoyed on board the ship as well.

Departing early for the famous Blue Cave on Bisevo Island, you can take an optional tour in a small boat to get through its narrow entrance and witness an incredible phenomenon that comes thanks to Mother Nature. When conditions are right, the sun beams its rays through a crack in the roof, hitting the limestone bottom and illuminating the interior in a surreal blue glow. (Please note that entry to the Blue Cave is subject to weather and sea conditions and therefore the entry fee of EUR30pp is payable on the day). Afterward, sail toward Hvar, with a swim stop in the brilliant turquoise waters surrounding the Pakleni islands en route. You’ll also visit a family-run winery on Hvar before anchoring in Hvar Town, with free time to explore.

Upon arrival, we’ll anchor near Korcula’s walled Old Town, where you’ll meet our local guide at one of its imposing gates. Step inside to explore the labyrinth of narrow medieval streets, alleyways, and picturesque squares. Your guide will reveal insight into the birthplace of international explorer Marco Polo and the centuries-old buildings with their Venetian influence. Highlights include the Bishop’s treasury, Arneri Palace, and St. Mark’s Cathedral with its pair of winged lions.

You’ll enjoy a stroll with your cruise director to visit its famous saltwater lakes with their brilliant shades of blues and greens. Once back on board, continue to Slano on the mainland, a gateway to the small, walled village of Mali Ston, best known for its delectable oysters. Here you’ll hop on a small boat to reach the heart of the estuary for an oyster tasting, sampling straight from the sea with a bit of lemon, alongside local wine.

Upon arrival, you’ll get to explore within the walls with a local expert on a guided walking tour. Stroll the pedestrianized Stradun and marvel at landmarks like Rector’s Palace, Sponza Palace, and the Franciscan Monastery with its pharmacy founded in 1317, making it Europe’s oldest continuously active pharmacy. You’ll have time to explore on your own afterward, perhaps walking atop the walls before enjoying a memorable dinner in one of the many sea-view restaurants.
