A terrific cruise that, unusually, takes in Krka & Mljet National Parks, visits the islands of Vis, Korcula and Hvar, and the wonderful cities of Split and Dubrovnik.
Our small ships can access all of these ports, most of which larger vessels cannot go near. We will cruise in the mornings, stopping in a secluded bay for a swim on the way, and after lunch on board we have time to explore our destinations (where we will moor overnight). In the evenings you are free to try some of the many restaurants and cafes that line these historic harbours.
