Itinerary



Day 1 - Day 1 - Saturday DUBROVNIK - TRSTENIK
Bok! Welcome to Croatia. Our tour kicks off this morning with a group meeting at 10:30AM in our centrally located 4-star hotel. After we chat about the trip we’ll transfer to our sexy private yacht – and home for the next week – the MV Futura. After lunch and a safety briefing, we’ll arrive at Trstenik, our first port of call. Even if you’ve joined us in Trstenik on a previous occasion, we’ve mixed things up with a new winery stop that includes a tour of the grounds and cellar, followed by a luscious 3-course dinner paired with five pristine Croatian wines. Tonight we overnight in this quaint and charming town. If you’ve never been to Dubrovnik, a pre-tour package is available, including a guided tour, to help you maximize your time in this glorious walled city.
Day 2 - Day 2 - Sunday TRSTENIK - METKOVIĆ
Our first full day aboard begins with breakfast and a swim stop. We’ll then venture inland via the Neretva River to the quintessential Croatian city of Metković (a mere 17km from the Bosnia and Herzegovina border). Here, Croatia’s first ‘in situ’ museum – the Narona – awaits, built around the Augusteum Roman temple and its 17 marble statues. The museum has won awards for its design and construction and is a marvellous modern juxtaposition to the ancient ruins within. Tonight it’s the Captain’s Dinner, allowing us a chance to get to know our crew.
Day 3 - Day 3 - Monday METKOVIĆ - STARI GRAD
This morning we depart for Stari Grad on the island of Hvar with a swim stop and lunch en route. At 2400 years, this is one of Europe’s oldest cities, and since we’ll be overnighting here you’ll have a chance to explore the less touristy side of the island. Tonight’s dinner is optional, and will be organized by your concierge.
Day 4 - Day 4 - Tuesday STARI GRAD - ŠIBENIK
This morning brings with it a bit of bliss as we make our way to the small coastal city of Šibenik, considered the cultural capital of middle Dalmatia. Read a book, catch some rays, or chat with fellow travellers over a cocktail. We have a guided walking tour this afternoon, and tonight’s dinner is optional. Feel free to explore the town – if you’re in luck you may catch a concert at the St Michael fortress, which is wondrously reminiscent of Dubrovnik’s city wall forts.
Day 5 - Day 5 - Wednesday ŠIBENIK - ZADAR
Our day begins with the comforting routine of breakfast, a swim stop, and lunch. This afternoon brings us to Zadar, a city known for its Roman and Venetian ruins in the old town. Although not exceedingly touristy, Zadar is home to a couple of Croatia’s most unique attractions: the Sea Organ and Sun Salutation, which both utilize the power of nature to create harmonious sounds and sights. We’ll enjoy a walking tour, along with a Maraschino (liqueur) tasting, followed by another free evening to explore and an optional dinner.
Day 6 - Day 6 - Thursday ZADAR / MANDRE / PAG
Today we’ll see many sides of Croatia as we make our way to the island of Pag. This once-sleepy island is known for it’s unique tasting meat, milk and cheese, given the herbs and salty grasses the tough local sheep consume. And while its pastoral past still shines, the island is also becoming one of Europe’s premiere party destinations. We’ll taste Pag’s famous cheese in the central town of Kolan, enjoy a guided tour of the island’s namesake town, then enjoy dinner at a small hotel and winery made famous by Anthony Bourdain. If you’re feeling peppy, we can then drop you off in the party town of Novalja, or you can head back to the ship for slumber.
Day 7 - Day 7 - Friday MANDRE - KRK
It’s our last full day of cruising, and we’re headed towards Croatia’s largest island, Krk. There will be free time to explore, then we’ll transfer to Vrbnik, a town with spectacular views perched above the Adriatic on a limestone outcropping. We’ll sip our way through one last winery (as one does), then savour an included dinner at one of Croatia’s most famous restaurants, Konobo Nada. Back in Krk, you may then check out the local nightlife or relish your last night aboard the MV Futura.
Day 8 - Day 8 - Saturday KRK - OPATIJA
After bidding farewell to our yacht and crew, we’ll transfer to our 4-star Opatija hotel, followed by a guided tour of the city. Savour some free time by the pool this afternoon, then freshen up for our included Farewell Dinner. From here you have the option to join us at a small “queer” party in nearby Rijeka, where we raise a glass to the epic week that’s just past.
Day 9 - Day 9 - Sunday OPATIJA Check out
All good things must come to an end. There are no activities planned, so you can depart any time before 11AM. Not ready to head home? Join our inaugural Slovenia tour (soon to be published), which can be booked as a 5 or 7-day adventure of this neighbouring country and emerging tourist destination.
Day 10 - Please Note:
Itineraries are subject to change.
