A perfect way to experience the beautiful Croatian islands and coastline an intimate luxury mini cruiser. Spend your mornings on the spacious decks or swimming in the crystal clear Adriatic Sea, and use your evenings to explore small historical towns. This one way cruise from Dubrovnik to Split will bring you the best of the Southern Dalmatia islands with numerous extra services and wine & gourmet experiences included in the package. During your week in Croatia we will normally cruise for 3-5 hours in the morning, stopping for a swim along the way. We usually arrive in our destination for the day sometime after lunch, giving us plenty of time for a walking tour, to visit the towns or Mljet National Park, or just to explore the cafes and historic buildings that abound in the beautiful towns and ports we visit. After leaving the splendour of Dubrovnik we cruise to the small port of Ston. Ston has the longest fortified town walls in Europe, but we are here to try the oysters! From Ston we head to Mljet, a national park on an island. Mljet is a beauriful spot, and also a great place to explore on foot, by bike or even by canoe. There is a trail around the lakes for walking and cycling, or you can visit St Mary's Monastery, dating from the 12th century, set on an island on the lake on the island. Next to Korcula, the birth place of Marco Polo and a mini Dubrovnik in appearance, before we head to the outer lying island of Vis, and the nearby 'Blue Cave'. Next to jetset and beautiful Hvar, where the bsutling port sits next to the ancient square with the old fort on th hill above. Finally we cruise via the 'Golden Horn' beach to Split, location of the extraordinary Diocletian's Palace, which now forms the fabric of Central Split. Split is humming with restaurants and bars and a great place to end.

Continue to the island of Vis, once, in the 4th century BC, one of the main Greek colonies. Vis is relatively under the radar for tourists. For a long time, it was in use as a Yugoslavian army base – until 1991. As a result, the culture and architecture are extremely well preserved. Rosemary, capers and sage grow wild around the island. Try some exquisite local wines. If interested, visit the remains of the Roman thermal place, City museum or simply take a walk enjoying the views of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the waterfront. Overnight in the port of Vis. (B, L, T)

Early in the morning, cruising resumes towards the small island of Biševo to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon (entrance fee to be paid on the spot, 18EUR).

Hvar, the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic is known for glorious lavender fields and breath-taking beauty.

Morning departure to Brač island where swimming is planned at the most famous beach in Dalmatia – Zlatni Rat near Bol – whose shingle promontory shifts from side to side as the wind and waves constantly cause the shape to change. Bol is a typical fishermen’s village converted into a popular tourist destination yet retaining its charm. Continue to Split to join a guided tour of the city upon arrival. This historical town under UNESCO world heritage protection will knock you off your feet with its abundance of things to see and do and with its unique lively atmosphere. Overnight in Split. (B, L)
