Overnight in the port of Makarska which is well known for its numerous churches and other architectural and cultural sites.
Day 2 - Day 2: Makarska to Mljet

After lunch you can visit the salt lakes in Mljet National Park and enjoy the sun, sea and tranquility of this peaceful island. In the middle of the large lake, inside the National park, visit the monastery and church on St. Mary isle or just rent a bike (optional) and cycle around these stunning lakes. Overnight in port Polaca/Pomena.
Day 3 - Day 3: Mljet to Dubrovnik
Cruise to the spectacular walled city of Dubrovnik, the highlight of this cruise. You will arrive in Dubrovnik after lunch leaving plenty of time for you to explore on your own or join a guided tour of the city followed by an optional cable car ride up to Sr mountain for spectacular views of the old town. Take a walk through Stradun, both a street and a square, and promenade inside or along the 1,940 m long city walls! Overnight in the port of this magical town.
Day 4 - Day 4: Dubrovnik - Sipan or Trstenik
The morning is free so you have plenty of time to explore Dubrovnik.

There will be an optional visit to a local winery.
Day 5 - Day 5: To Korcula
Head to the island Korcula, the birthplace Marco Polo. Take lunch on board in bay near Korcula before mooring in Korcula port. Surrounded by ancient walls and fortified bastions, Korcula's old town is very well preserved with its highly unusual layout and structure dating back to 13th century.

The next stop is the island of Brač. The most famous (and most photographed) beach in Dalmatia is Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn) near Bol – famous for its everchanging shape - a shingle bar that moves according to the wind. Great place for a swim stop. Bol is a typical fishermen’s village that has kept it's atmosphere despite becoming a popular location for tourists. After lunch you'll cruise back to Split for our last night. The approach to the Split Riviera is wonderful and offers the best views from onboard.

Early breakfast and time to say goodbye to the crew and all your new friends.
