Known as the %u2018wine island%u2019 there%u2019s free time to sample the local goods before heading back to the boat for the night.Day 3 Makarska - Pu%u010di%u0161%u0107a. Continuing to hug the Dalmatian coast, we stop at Makarska - a popular beach town sandwiched between a palm-lined promenade and the slopes of the Biokovo mountains. We arrive at the island of Bra%u010d by late afternoon, a much sleepier island than its neighbour, Hvar. We moor in Pu%u010di%u0161%u0107a for the night, often listed as one of the prettiest villages in Europe and the centre for the island%u2019s century-old craft - stone carving. There%u2019ll be time to explore the scenic streets and squares and visit the stonemasonry school for a demonstration.Day 4 Split. We continue our voyage to Split, Croatia%u2019s second biggest city that spreads out in layers from the waterfront through an old town tangle of ancient alleys and Roman ruins, communist-era Brutalist blocks and circling mountains beyond.Starting out life in AD 295, the city grew out of the now UNESCO-listed Diocletian%u2019s Palace - home to some of the best-preserved Roman ruins in the world. It%u2019s now a 1,700-year-old treasure trove of Roman, Venetian, Ottoman and Byzantine influences, which we%u2019ll see on our guided tour.Day 5 Hvar. Heading south we cross to Hvar, Croatia%u2019s sunniest island that needs little introduction, with yacht-filled azure waters and polished marble streets. Arriving mid-afternoon, we take a short walking tour of the 13th-century walled city, passing by Gothic churches and caf%u00e9 lined piazzas. There%u2019s free time to explore, perhaps climb up to the Spanish Fortress for sweeping views. Or maybe walk along the seafront to the 15th-century Franciscan monastery, home to an impressive mural of the Last Supper.Day 6 Mljet. Today we sail to Mljet. Carpeted in thick forest and dotted with lakes and vineyards, this is one of the Adriatic%u2019s most alluring islands. With scenery that sparked Greek epics, it%u2019s said that Mljet is the paradise island of Ogyia in Homer%u2019s Odyssey. We moor here tonight, wrapped in the peace and tranquillity of Mljet%u2019s pine-shrouded slopes.Day 7 Dubrovnik. Passing by hidden coves and wooded inlets, we cruise between the Elafati islands on our way to UNESCO-listed Dubrovnik. Circled by grand city walls, bastions, towers and fortifications, the old town is a maze of white-stone houses, sun-burnished orange roofs and baroque churches. On today%u2019s guided tour we%u2019ll pass by Sponza Palace, one of the few buildings that survived the 1667 earthquake that destroyed much of the city. Like walking through a medieval filmset, we also visit Dubrovnik Cathedral, Rector%u2019s Palace and Onofrio%u2019s Fountain.We enjoy our final night on board with a farewell dinner.Day 8 Dubrovnik - UK. We transfer to the airport for your return flight to the UK. Upon arrival, your vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.MakarskaSipanDUBROVNIKMljetHvarKorculaSplitPucisca11111Croatia11SplitHvar MljetDates2026May 4August 31September 14, 28October 12Single supplement: from %u00a3200Upgrade to main deck from %u00a3200# Offer ends Friday 30 January 2026 - see page 3 for full details.Price is subject to change and will be confirmed upon enquiry.Please note:%u2022 This tour requires a good level of mobility.%u2022 The captain reserves the right to change the itinerary according to weather conditions or if ports are unexpectedly busy.1 Number of nightsVisitsSave 10% off all holidaysfor a limited time only#
