Day 4 - Day 4 Lastovo – Ravnik (green cave) – Vis (B, L)
Early morning departure towards Vis Island, which because of its unique geographical position was a strategic harbour for the Yugoslav navy and off-limits to tourists for many years. Vis has retained a rather special charm reflecting the “‘Mediterranean as it once was”. Near Vis, there is a tiny Ravnik island, with the Green Cave interesting to visit (entrance fee to be paid on the spot). It was named after the unusual greenish light that reflects in the sea from the hole on top of the cave. A short swim stop and then set sail further to the town of Vis for overnight. Vis was developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia, formed by the Greeks in the 4th century B.C. Visit the remains of the Roman Baths, City Museum, or take a walk enjoying the view of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the coast.

After the Blue Cave, the cruise resumes towards Stari Grad on the island of Hvar. Records confirm that Hvar is the sunniest island in the Adriatic. Free afternoon to explore this unique town and its famous horseshoe shaped bay. The famous Stari Grad Field (a plain) is the oldest in Croatia and the best-preserved example of the ancient Greek system of agriculture.

Split is Croatia’s second-largest city, a busy university and maritime centre, and the capital of the Dalmatia region. The historical complex of Split with the Palace of Diocletian is under UNESCO protection, and its historical and cultural monuments are wondrous both to local inhabitants and to the many visitors who fall in love with this 1,000-plus-year-old beauty. There’s the possibility of joining a sightseeing tour of the old town (included on Premium Superior) including Diocletian's palace which the Roman emperor had built as his retirement home. 
Day 8 - Day 8 Split (B)
After early breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye to the crew and all the new friends.
Day 9 - Notes:
Ships can be moored side by side, making it necessary for the passenger to cross from one vessel to another with gaps in between them to get to the shore. In such cases, clients must take special care when crossing and do this at their own risk. Crew assistance will be given to those needing and requesting it. The captain reserves the right to change and modify the route due to weather conditions and conditions in the ports visited. The order of visits may be different from what is published in case ports are overly crowded and to give the customer a better experience overall.
Day 10 - Please note: Due to the redevelopment and reduced capacity of Split Harbour the location of embarkation/disembarkation may change to a harbour nearby. Details of the location for your ship will be confirmed in your Travel Documents.
