Select a day to see the complete program. The first day is open by default.
Day 1 / Saturday: Split → Omiš
The ship will approach Split harbour at 14:30 for embarkation. Luggage will be stored on board, and at 15:00 an English-speaking guide will lead a city tour of Split through the historic Diocletian’s Palace. Guests who prefer may remain on board while the group visits Split.
After the city tour, at approximately 17:00, embark and cruise to Omiš, an ancient town known for its city walls, fortresses, stone churches and pirate history. Guests unable to arrive in Split by 17:00 may travel independently to Omiš and embark there.
At 19:00, the Cruise Manager will introduce the crew and your fellow passengers during a welcome meeting. Welcome dinner will be served at 19:30. Guests arriving late at night will be met by the crew and offered a snack, provided advance notice has been given.
Overnight in Omiš. Meals: Dinner.
Day 2 / Sunday: Omiš → Pučišća (Brač Island)
Cruise across the Brač Channel in the morning, with a swim stop in one of the island’s secluded bays. Lunch will be served on board before continuing to Pučišća, the largest village on the island of Brač.
Pučišća is known for its steep-sided natural harbour, authentic Mediterranean architecture and long stonemasonry tradition. Stone from its quarry was used for the White House columns and the Vienna Parliament, and the town is home to Croatia’s only stonemasonry school.

Day 3 / Monday: Pučišća → Bol → Hvar
Depart for Bol in the morning. Bol is best known for Zlatni Rat, or Golden Cape, one of Europe’s most celebrated beaches. Enjoy time for a walk, coffee or swim in this charming Dalmatian town before lunch is served on board.

Overnight in Hvar Historical Town. Meals: Breakfast and lunch.
Day 4 / Tuesday: Hvar → Biševo Blue Cave → Vis
Cruise to Biševo and its famous Blue Cave, a sea cave accessible only by boat. High waves may occasionally prevent entry, and conditions cannot be confirmed before the scheduled visit. For this reason, the entrance fee is payable on the spot.
Continue to Vis after lunch, arriving in the afternoon. Centuries as a strategic military stronghold protected Vis from excessive tourism development, helping it preserve its beaches, ecological agriculture and traditional architecture. Spend the afternoon exploring the town’s stone streets, beaches and local taverns.
