Croatia & Montenegro Small Ship Island Hopping Cruise from Dubrovnik

The Croatia & Montenegro cruise is a 7-night small ship cruise from Dubrovnik aboard M/Y Callisto, a classic motor yacht carrying just 34 guests. Island-hop along the Croatian coast, visiting Mljet, Korčula, Lastovo, Vis and Hvar before sailing into Montenegro’s spectacular Bay of Kotor.

Medieval Towns from Dubrovnik to Hvar

Stroll Dubrovnik’s marble Stradun, lose yourself in the fishbone lanes of Korčula’s old town, and watch the yachts come and go from Hvar’s Venetian harbour. Guided walks of Dubrovnik, Hvar and Kotor, entry to Mljet National Park and a wine tasting on board are all included.

Turquoise Bays & Quiet Harbours

Most days the captain drops anchor in a secluded bay so you can dive straight into the sea. Evenings are spent on Mljet, Lastovo and Vis, where fishing boats line the quay and life slows to the pace of the islands.

Life Aboard a Classic Yacht

With so few guests on board, Callisto feels more like a private yacht than a cruise ship. Linger over lunch on the open deck, curl up in the Sun Deck library or toast the sunset as the islands slip by.
