Day 1
Split - Makarska

Departure from the Split Port at 1300HRS (late arrivals can join in Makarska), southwards towards Makarska. Lunch is served while cruising along the Dalmatian coast. Afternoon swim stop in one of the secluded bays enroute. Enjoy Makarska in the evening. Stroll the waterfront with its wide promenade, a pathway out to a lighthouse, and some cool bars. The main square is home to an impressive church and other monuments. Overnight in the port of Makarska. (L)

Day 2
Makarska - Mljet

Early morning departure towards the Island of Mljet. Swim stop on Pelješac, on the way towards Mljet. Part of Mljet island is a National Park (entrance fee to be paid on the spot). Plan to visit its seawater lakes, the peaceful, tiny, St Mary’s island in the middle of the large lake, the church, and the monastery in the afternoon. Walk or hire a bike to explore these stunning lakes. Overnight in the port of Polača or Pomena. (B, L)

Day 3
Mljet - Dubrovnik

After breakfast depart for Dubrovnik, the most famous town in Croatia and, for many, the highlight of the cruise. The Irish writer George Bernard Shaw called Dubrovnik "heaven on earth". Upon arrival, explore on your own or join a guided city tour, followed by an optional cable car ride up to the Srđ Mountain for spectacular views of the Old Town. Don’t miss Stradun, both a street and a square in the Old Town and walk at least part of the 1940m long city walls which have protected Dubrovnik during earthquakes and attacks. Check out in Dubrovnik after lunch, by 1400HRS. (B, L)

Important Notes

Captain reserves the right to change the route in case of bad weather conditions, crowding or other circumstances out of his control. Departures are guaranteed for minimum 10 participants. Cruise Operator reserves the right to cancel or change the ship name if necessary. Guests are obliged to follow ship rules (found in written form onboard). Guests are not permitted to bring beverages onboard the vessel that have been purchased onshore. All drinks must be purchased onboard.

Port taxes, entrance fees, sightseeing and excursions (if not included in the package) must be paid in local currency upon arrival.

Disclaimer
Due to specific mooring conditions and requirements in some Croatian Ports, multiple ships are moored side by side. This makes it necessary to cross from one ship to the other where there are gaps in between each ship. Special care must be taken at all times when crossing between the ships, and guests do this at their own risk. Crew assistance will be given to those needing and requesting it. View from cabin windows and balconies may be obstructed when moored in port and alongside other ships. Cruises are not recommended for those in wheelchairs or with limited mobility.
