The check in starts at 5 PM and afterwards you`ll have enough time to make yourself at home and meetthe other guests and crew with the traditional welcoming drink. After a short navigation we come to theisland of Šipan, where we`re going to spend our first night on board enjoying dinner and company.Although it`s only 16 km2 big Šipan is the biggest of the Elaphiti Islands with only two bigger villages:Šipanska Luka on the west and Suđurađ on the east side of the island. It flourished during theDubrovnik Republic when the most important and strongest activities were shipbuilding, shipping,olive growing, fishing and wine growing. Today, on this small area, there are 42 old summer residencesand 34 churches; proof that this oasis of peace and beauty was recognized as a place of relaxation byDubrovnik high society. Although many are in bad condition, family castle of Vice Stjepović-Skočibuha is being renewed. In the castle there is a Renaissance square fireplace with preservedplaster-decorated hood (which was an exception in Dubrovnik area), an elegant Renaissance stone sinkwith relief decorated edges and a rare example of the only preserved wooden balcony in theMediterranean from the 16th century.

From the quiet and sleepy island of Šipan after breakfast we continue our cruise towards Ston,municipality and homonymous little town on the peninsula of Pelješac. On our way there we`re goingto stop for a bath, and after lunch, which will be served on board, you will again have enough time to relax and enjoy all the benefits of this cruising. We`re spending the night in Ston.Town of Ston, which has the second biggest city walls in the world and the oldest salt pans in Europe,is also famous for its restaurants where you can enjoy sea food delicacies. We recommend shells. Whilevisiting Ston you must not skip the church of Gospa Nuncijata, the Renaissance palace of bishops ofSton (the Bishop`s Palace), the Palace of the Republic and Ston Town Walls from the 14th century withtowers and fortresses, that connect two Stons

After enjoying historical beauties of Ston, today you`re going to see the natural beauties of the mostbeautiful Adriatic island – Mljet. You`ll spend the day relaxing, swimming and sunbathing. After lunchyou`ll have a chance to visit the National Park Mljet (tickets are not included in the cruise price andyou`ll have to pay additional 90 kn for adults and 40 kn for children and students). We`re spending thenight on Mljet (in Polača or Pomena, depending on the weather conditions) where you can enjoy theirextraordinary gastro offer. We especially recommend lobsters, which in restaurants on Mljet you canpersonally choose before the preparation.Mljet is very popular among the boaters for its peace and quiet and the beauty of its sea and land

We`re sailing to the island of Korčula and the birthplace of a famous traveller-writer and adventurerMarco Polo – the town of Korčula. On our way there we`re going to stop for a bath and we`re spendingthe night in this famous tourist destination of south Adriatic. You can spend the evening walkingthrough this beautiful Dalmatian pearl or enjoying all the gastro offers in numerous restaurants. Wewarmly recommend restaurant “Aborda” which is situated in the marina and charms its guests with thevariety of its gastro offer as well as with its view of the old town and the archipelago of the island ofKorčula and the peninsula of Pelješac.Korčula was firstly mentioned as early as the 10th c. in works of Byzantine historians under the name”Stone Town”. It flourished under the Venetian government and later on it spread around the townwalls. But in spite of all that, it is still the most famous as the birthplace of Marco Polo who wasprobably born here in 1254, and reminders of him can be seen all around the town, including theextremely interesting Marco Polo Museum which is something you definitively don`t want to misswhen visiting this beautiful Dalmatian town. Today it`s a town where you can vividly feel theMediterranean spirit of people who live and work in this mixture of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroquearchitecture

After breakfast we start for Pakleni Islands (the Hell Islands, a group of small, limestone islands justhundreds of metres away from the town of Hvar which charm their visitors with their beauty and theclarity of the sea, in Croatian Pakleni means Hell, but in fact the islands got their name after Paklina, asort ofblack rosin which was once used as a protective coat for boats, and with time the word changedfrom Paklinski Islands to Pakleni Islands), unique and the most recognizable natural beauty of theisland of Hvar. Lunch will be served on board, and in the afternoon or in the evening (depending onyour request) transfer by dinghy will be organized to the town of Hvar. You will have to take a taxi-boat in the harbour to get back to ship individually, on which you will get additional information byyour captain.Hvar is a beautiful Dalmatian town of wild night life and numerous excellent restaurants specialised inlocal cuisine (Pasarola, Luna,…), as well as in exotic specialties (Sushi bar Pirate). To the young thetown guaranties a great time in bars and coffee shops where many celebrities enjoyed themselves(prince Harry, E. Longoria, Beyoncee,…) and those who prefer more relaxing activities will be sweptaway with its rich history that goes back to prehistoric times, more exactly to the Iron Age when the Illyrians built their hill-fort and started the development of this Dalmatian pearl, and with its culturalheritage amongst which the most prominent is the first public theatre in Europe, opened in 1612. We`respending the night anchore

After breakfast we sail for Vis – the furthest island of the central Dalmatian archipelago. It is especiallywell known for its cultural and historical heritage, but also for its natural beauties. Even the Greekwriter Agatharchides in his scripts praised wines from Vis as being the best he had ever tasted, incomparison to other sorts he had tried. Their most autochthonous wine is most certainly Vugava whichyou can try in numerous restaurants and cellars all around the island. We recommend you try theirautochthonous Viška pogača which will definitively go well with their wines. Vis is also known as oneof “the forbidden islands” during the communistic era. It was the centre of Yugoslav navy and thereforewas forbidden to tourists. Even today there are many hidden tunnels all around the island that testify tothat fact. Some of them are now tourist attractions and others are used by the Croatian navy. We`respending the night in Vis

*If the weather conditions don`t allow navigation to Vis, given its position of the furthest centralDalmatian island, an alternative route to one of the nearer islands or bays will be suggested. Of course,any changes will be arranged and agreed upon with guests

After breakfast we sail towards one of the central Dalmatian islands – Brač or Šolta. depending on theweather conditions. On our way we`re going to stop for a bath and lunch, which will be served onboard.

Our last breakfast together will be served on board, after which we have to say goodbye to thisfabulous ship, the crew and, hopefully, new friends you`ll get in these 7 days. Check out is until 9 AM.After the check out you can visit, as we like to say, the most beautiful city in the world – Split! With its1700 years-long history it offers many things to its visitors, from cultural and historical heritage toentertainment. The place you mustn`t, and can`t, avoid in Split is definitively Diocletian`s Palace. Builtin the 3rd century it was designed as a summer residence for the Roman emperor Diocletian, but withtime the palace has become a city which today is the administrative, cultural and trade centre of Split-Dalmatian County and second largest city in Croatia. The Palace itself was included in UNESCO`sWorld Heritage List in 1979. Apart from the Palace there are many other things to see in the city, likethe Diocletian`s substructures (cellars), the smallest and the oldest cathedral in the world – St. Duje`sCathedral (the patron saint), numerous squares, museums, galleries, city park-forest Marjan,… Aninteresting stop would be the statue of Grgur Ninski whose big toe you must touch and make a wish tomake it come true. Why not wish to come backreally soon??
