Explore the Adriatic Coast
This small-ship cruise explores the southern Dalmatian coast, sailing round-trip from Split and uncovering Croatia as it has traditionally been experienced — from the sea. Along the way, the itinerary calls at a mix of well-known islands and quieter coastal ports, including Mljet National Park, Korčula and Hvar, with time to explore each destination at a relaxed pace.
Dubrovnik: A UNESCO World Heritage Gem
A visit to Dubrovnik is one of the highlights of the cruise. Enclosed by impressive medieval walls and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the old town is rich in history and atmosphere. With time ashore across the afternoon, evening and following morning, there is ample opportunity to wander the historic streets, enjoy coastal views and experience the city’s unique character.
A Taste of Dalmatia by Sea
As the journey continues along the coast and between islands, each port reveals a different side of Dalmatian life. Centuries of Venetian, Ottoman and Slavic influence have shaped both architecture and cuisine, with regional specialities found in island taverns and coastal towns alike — a natural complement to exploring this part of Croatia by small ship.
