We will stop in Bol and enjoy this nice Dalmatian town for a walk, or to have a cup of coffee and take a swim until lunch is served on board.

This island is one of the most popular and attractive tourist destinations - a meeting point for the international jet set.
Upon your afternoon arrival at Hvar, a local English speaking guide will walk you throughout the town introducing you to the history, culture and way of life on this island and explain how lavender was traditionally farmed on the island for centuries.

Overnight in Hvar Historical Town, (B,L)
DAY 4 • TUESDAY HVAR-BIŠEVO BLUE CAVE – VIS
Morning cruise to the island Bisevo with its Blue Cave. The cave has its own natural entrance which is located below sea level, requiring visitors dive deeply only to resurface into the cave’s mysterious blue depths. This natural phenomenon creates a magical effect of deep blue and shiny silver, mystifying her visitors. However, sometimes high waves prevent the entrance to Blue Cave, which is something we shall not know before the morning designated for our visit. If that happens, we can provide an alternative half-day tour of Vis Island with WWII RAF Airport, along with Komiža – a peculiarly beautiful town boasting the longest fishing tradition on the East Adriatic. On the other hand, if we succeeded to see Blue Cave we will reach island of Vis after lunch. Vis is a pearl among Adriatic islands, left untouched by the development of tourism for many years due to its strategic location where it served as a military zone for many years.Beautiful beaches, preserved nature, ecological agriculture and preserved traditional architecture are unique features of this unique Croatian island.
Overnight in Vis Town, (B,L)
DAY 5 • WEDNESDAY VIS – KORČULA
We start our day with a morning departure towards the island of Korčula. We shall stop for a swim before lunch and in the afternoon arrive in Korčula town. Korčula is a city known as a birthplace of Marco Polo, the famous explorer. Our English speaking guide will present a fascinating Korčula City tour, walking us through narrow and cobbled streets. The rest of the evening is free to enjoy dining at one of the local restaurants of your choice.
Overnight in Korčula Historical Town, (B,L)
DAY 6 • TUESDAY KORČULA – NATIONAL PARK MLJET – ŠIPAN ISLAND OR SLANO
Morning cruise towards Mljet National Park where we expect to arrive by 10:00 a.m. You will have enough time to explore park - walk around the Great and Small Lake and Islet of St. Mary with its Benedictine Monastery from the 12th century. Take a swim in the heart of National Park. Entrance fees to National Park Mljet are included. Return to the boat for lunch. We shall continue our cruise to Šipan Island where we shall anchor in the small picturesque fishermen’s village of Šipanska Luka. In case dock and lock schedules or weather conditions prevent us from anchoring in Šipanska Luka we shall cruise to Slano, located on the mainland coast. We will have a Captain’s dinner that evening on board with live music entertainment. Overnight in Šipanska Luka or in Slano on the mainland, (B,L, Captain’s dinner with live music)
DAY 7 • FRIDAY – CRUISE TO DUBROVNIK CITY WALLS

We will cruise along Dubrovnik City walls and fortifications enjoying lunch on board directly in front of the historical centre where we will have chance to take unforgettable group photo of breath-taking Dubrovnik. We will do our best to we spend this last evening on anchorage in front of the Old Town, in a peaceful environment with ship’s tender transfers to Old town and back at designated times to be annoumced that day. It all depends on weather conditions, of course, and the alternative port is Dubrovnik Gruž harbor. In any case, on that day our own English speaking guide will show us the most interesting sights of Dubrovnik. After the city tour you will be on your own to explore the city. Visit the city walls or take the cable car to the top of the Mount Srđ and have intimate farewell dinner. Return scheduled transfer to boat will be organized by tender ships or by coach.
