Day 1 - Day 1 - DUBROVNIK
Check-in at Dubrovnik's Port of Gruz from 11:00, before your welcome reception at 12pm, where you'll get to join your fellow travellers for champagne and canapes before lunch is served onboard. Your ship will remain in Dubrovnik for the first night of your cruise, giving you time to explore this unique city. Enjoy the beautiful views in Croatia's "heaven on earth" - according to the famous writer George Bernard Shaw. Dubrovnik’s Old Town is wonderfully captivating, with its 1,940m long 15th century stone walls built to protect the city from invasion. We highly recommend walking around the walls to grasp the diverse nature of this city. Walk along the Stradun, the promenade inside the old city walls and meander the alleyways to discover numerous local restaurants, shops and bars. The included Dubrovnik Walking Tour is a great way to learn about this wonderful city. Special Elegance inclusion. Included stress free transfer from the airport to the harbour. Overnight in Dubrovnik Gruz Port.
Day 2 - Day 2 - MLJET
Today we sail north-west to one of the most beautiful islands in Croatia, Mljet, which is actually a National Park. The island is classed as Croatia’s greenest due to it's dense covering of Mediterranean pine forest. The National Park is famous for its two salt lakes in the north end of the island - Veliko and Malo Jezero - as well as the 12th century Benedictine monastery in the middle of Veliko. Those that wish to explore this pristine island can do so by kayaking, cycling or walking around to where the sea meets the lake. After exploring, spend your afternoon on the top deck of the ship watching a magical Mljet sunset with a cold drink in hand.

Relax as we set sail for the island of Korčula, and enjoy lunch onboard in the beautiful Lumbarda Bay.

The island's local population were once famous for their decorative stone carving work, which to this day still adorns the city's facades.Korčula is also known as a gastronomic destination with many great restaurants wrapped around the city walls overlooking the waterfront.

Early this morning and subject to weather conditions (which are normally excellent), we will make our way across to the island of Vis, one of the most outer-lying islands on the Dalmatian coast. Vis has been used over the centuries as a strategic military port and saw action by the Allied military through WWII against Italy and Germany. It has only recently opened to commercial tourism and the island still retains a lot of charm.

The captain reserves the right to amend the itinerary, as his number one priority is always safety.

You can also visit the Renaissance Cathedral with its original tower, as well as the oldest community theatre in Europe, which dates back to 1612.
