Classic Croatia Small Ship Cruise

Depart from Trogir Port around 1 pm and get the socialising started with lunch and a much-needed swim stop. Trogir is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with an epic medieval Old Town and buzzing nightlife dotted along the Riva, AND it’s less than 15 mins from Split airport. We recommend arriving a night or two before your cruise to explore, and catch a short bus ride to the neighbouring city of Split.

In the late afternoon, we dock in Hvar, where the evening is yours to explore. Hvar Town’s pocket harbour is a thing of beauty – to truly appreciate it, we recommend climbing up to the fort that overlooks the whole bay.

Check-in: 11am – 12pm

We leave early for the crossing to Mljet Island. After lunch, we will dock in either Pomena or Polace and have the rest of the afternoon free to explore this island’s stunning National Park and its lakes (€30 entrance fee).

There are several options for this exploration: hire a bike for a few hours and pedal your way around the lakes’ excellent cycle paths, hire a kayak for paddle-power or simply go for a hike. We also offer an optional onboard Captain’s mixed grill dinner this evening (either in Mljet or we might head over to Slano or Sipan island) as the setting is perfect.

Meals: breakfast, lunch, optional onboard mixed grill dinner (approx 25 Euros, depending on inclusions)

Captain’s note:
Docking positions are weather dependent and at the discretion of the port authorities. If we’re unable to dock at Mjlet, we’ll sail on over to Slano or Sipan and keep the party going.

With some gorgeous bays around Mljet, Slano and Sipan, we are spoilt for choice for a swim stop this morning. We then cross to Dubrovnik through the Elaphite archipelago of islands – a truly amazing sight.

We arrive in Dubrovnik in the early afternoon, which gives you time for some must-dos, including a sunset walk around the famous walls (Extra cost) and sampling a cocktail at one of the cliff bars as you watch the sun go down.

There are plenty of restaurants to choose from in and around the Old City.

A whole day in Dubrovnik!

There are so many things to do in this city. We recommend:

1. Taking a cable car ride up to Mount Srd for the most incredible view imaginable.
2. Dubrovnik is also the setting for the capital city of Westeros, Kings Landing, in Game of Thrones. If you are a fan, why not take a walking tour of the locations of the most famous scenes in the ultra-popular show and get an overview of the history of Dubrovnik at the same time?
3. Take a shuttle boat over to Lokrum Island from the Old City.

Dinner is included this evening and is served around 6.30pm. The evening is free afterwards to have a few drinks onboard, head back into Dubrovnik, or go to a few places around Gruz port (we recommend the amazing Dubrovnik Beer Company bar near the boat).

Meals: breakfast, dinner

It’s goodbye to Dubrovnik and hello to more incredible scenery as we head to Korčula Island, which is said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo. The Old City (with the same name as the island) is another gem, with impressive Venetian architecture.

Korčula boasts an impressive selection of restaurants, bars and nightclubs such as Dos Locos.

Meals: breakfast, lunch

After a steady morning cruising, we dock into Makarska this afternoon where you can explore the town and grab a gelato or wander through St Peter’s forest park. If you’re up for some adventure, then join a River Cetina Optional Activity and race down the current rapid rafting style.

Tonight, take your pick for dinner at one of the many restaurants, pizzerias and tavernas that line the promenade. 

Meals: breakfast, lunch

It’s our final cruise day!

Today we depart for the region of Split where we will dock in Trogir – a UNESCO World Heritage Site with an epic medieval Old Town and buzzing nighlife dotted along the Riva. Head out for one last dinner with your shipmates then admire the town’s gothic artchitecture as you wander between the local bars.

Meals: breakfast, lunch

Captain’s Note:
In 2027, all departures will finish at Trogir Port, which is in the region of Split. This is due to an ongoing infrastructure project at Split port and will impact the majority of boats that usually dock in Split.

After breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye to your shipmates and crew.

If it’s your first time in Trogir, we recommend staying an extra night to explore or catch a bus to the neighbouring city of Split.

Meals: breakfast

Check-out: 9 am
