Deluxe Cruise Split to Dubrovnik 7nts (Saturdays)

Transfer from Split Airport to Marina Baotic and check-in from 14:00. An afternoon guided walking tour of Trogir takes in the Cathedral of St Lawrence, Radovan's Portal and the Kamerlengo fortress, with free time in the marble streets of the UNESCO-listed old town. Welcome reception and dinner on board. Overnight at Marina Baotic.

An early departure for Brac and the town of Bol, with a swimming stop at Zlatni Rat, the shingle spit that changes shape with the wind and the current. Lunch on board on the crossing to Vis, closed to foreign visitors until 1989 and still the least developed of the larger islands. A wine tasting is included, and the town sits beside the remains of ancient Issa, with Roman baths, the town museum and a shore walk past the villae rusticae. Overnight in Vis town, or at Komiza on the west of the island if berths at Vis are full.

An early run out to the islet of Bisevo for the Blue Cave, where late morning light through an underwater opening turns the water an intense blue. Entry is paid on the spot and the visit depends on sea conditions. On to Hvar, with lunch on board at the Pakleni islands and a swim stop. An afternoon guided tour covers the Renaissance cathedral, the 1612 community theatre and the fortress above the town. Overnight in Hvar, or at Stari Grad if berths at Hvar are full.

A morning swim stop and lunch on board on the way to Korcula, a walled town on a promontory with a street plan laid out to catch the summer breeze. A guided walking tour takes in the cathedral, the walls and the bastions. It is the only place where the Moreska sword dance is still performed. Overnight in one of the ports of Korcula, either the town centre port or Domince about 3 km out.

On to Mljet, where the national park covers the west of the island and entry is paid on the spot. Two saltwater lakes are joined to the sea by a narrow channel, with a boat across to St Mary islet and its 12th century Benedictine monastery. Swim, walk or cycle the shore path. The Captain's Dinner with live music is served on board. Overnight in Pomena or Polace.

A morning swim stop and lunch on board on the way to Slano, a quiet fishing village on the mainland and the gateway to Ston, a fortified town behind the second longest defensive wall in Europe. Ston has produced salt since Roman times and its oysters are farmed in the bay at Mali Ston. A tasting is included. Overnight in Slano.

A short morning run down to Dubrovnik with a swim stop and lunch on board. The approach from the sea is the best view of the walls anyone gets. A guided tour of the old town follows, with the 1,940 m wall circuit open to walk and an optional cable car up to Srd. Evening at leisure. Overnight in Gruz harbour.

Breakfast on board, then check-out and farewell to the crew. Dubrovnik Airport is about 30 minutes away.
