Split to Dubrovnik

Arrive in Split. The M/S Elixir will be docked in Split Harbor where you are welcome to board throughout the day, with access to your cabin starting at 2:00 pm. At 7:00 pm, attend a welcome meeting on board and meet the Cruise director, Captain, crew, and your fellow passengers. Enjoy your dinner on board.

Join an English-speaking guide for a morning tour of Split and explore the historical Diocletian’s Palace. As the second largest city in Croatia and the seat of the Split-Dalmatia County, Split showcases 1,700 years of history. Since 1979, its UNESCO-listed old town has preserved cultural landmarks within the ancient palace walls. Around noon, begin your cruise toward Omis while enjoying lunch on board. Nestled at the mouth of the Cetina River, Omis features fortresses, stone churches, and beaches. Once a pirate stronghold, the town symbolizes centuries of resistance and courage during conflicts with the Republic of Venice.

Continue cruising across the Brac Channel to reach Pucisca, the largest village on Brac Island. With its steep natural harbor, traditional Mediterranean architecture, and charming rustic vibe, Pucisca leaves a lasting impression. Stone from its quarry helps construct iconic buildings like the White House and Vienna Parliament.

Pucisca also hosts Croatia’s only Stonemasonry School, where students craft sculptures using traditional techniques. Spend a peaceful night here and enjoy the magic of nightfall as it softens the village's striking daytime features.

Start your day with a morning departure towards Bol, known for having one of the finest European beaches, called Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape). As the ship stops in Bol, relax in this charming Dalmatian town. Have a walk, a cup of coffee, or a swim until lunch is served on board. After lunch, continue cruising along many idyllic coves and bays towards Hvar, the sunniest Croatian island. Hvar stands as one of the most popular and attractive Croatian tourist destinations and a meeting point of the international jet set. Upon your evening arrival in Hvar, a local English-speaking guide walks you through the town, introducing you to the island’s way of life, its rich history, and culture. Afterwards, enjoy your evening in Hvar, explore, and dine in one of its numerous family-owned restaurants or taverns.

Start your day with a morning cruise towards the Island of Bisevo and its Blue Cave. Originally, the entrance to Blue Cave is located below sea level, which requires visitors to dive deeply in order to resurface into the cave’s mysterious blue depths. However, sometimes high waves prevent the entrance to Blue Cave, which is something not known before the morning designated for the visit. For this reason, entrance fees are paid on the spot. Afterwards, dock in Vis and have lunch. Vis is truly unique in comparison to other Adriatic islands. Being an important strategic military stronghold for a long time, Vis is spared the excessive tourist development and thus retains its unspoilt beaches, ecological agriculture, and traditional architecture. Enjoy the afternoon, exploring the town of Vis, its picturesque stone streets, pristine beaches, and fine taverns. For all who are interested, an optional Vis Island excursion is organized, including a visit to Komiža, a stunning fishermen's village. Reservations and payment on the spot.

Start your day with a morning departure towards the Island of Korčula, with a swim stop and lunch en route. In the afternoon, arrive to Korčula Town, on the Island of Korčula. This town is known as a birthplace of Marko Polo, one of the most famous world explorers of all times. An English-speaking guide conducts the Korčula City tour and walks you through Korčula’s charming narrow and cobbled streets. Have the rest of the evening free, to enjoy dining at one of the local restaurants of your choice.

Start your morning cruise to Mljet Island, where you are free to explore National Park Mljet (entrance fees are not included), walk around the Great and Small Lake, visit the Islet of St. Mary with its Benedictine Monastery dating from the 12th century and, of course, take a swim in the heart of this pristine National Park. Lunch is served on board as the cruise continues to Slano, where you arrive in the afternoon.
Slano is one of the most picturesque places on the Dubrovnik Riviera, with a beautiful beach, dense pine forest and olive groves, a long cultural tradition and numerous historical monuments. This evening, enjoy Captain’s dinner on board.

In the morning, depart for Dubrovnik along the Elaphite Islands, with a short swim stop and lunch. Upon arrival to Dubrovnik, an English-speaking guide and coach come to the pier. Visit the historical centre of Dubrovnik, the famous city enlisted as UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the guide shows you the most interesting sights of Dubrovnik. Following the city tour, you are left on your own to explore Dubrovnik, visit famous City Walls or take a cable car to the top of Mount Srđ. Return coach transfer is scheduled in the evening. You can return on your own if you wish so. Learn why Dubrovnik is known around the world as “The Pearl of Adriatic.”

After breakfast, the time has come to say farewell to all your new friends.
