Deluxe E-bike Cycling Cruise Dubrovnik to Split 7nts on MS Bellezza or MS Harmonia (Fridays)

Individual journey to Dubrovnik, where check-in is at Gruz, the town port. In the late afternoon there is a guided tour of Dubrovnik covering the city's history and its most striking sights. The ship stays overnight in Gruz, leaving the evening free to enjoy the city.

A gentle day to settle in. After breakfast we cruise towards Sipan, with the chance of a swim straight from the ship along the way. Sipan is the largest of the Elaphiti Islands and still modest in size, which makes it an ideal place for the first ride of the week and for getting used to riding as a group. The night is spent on Sipan. Approx. 11 km.

A short morning cruise brings us to Sobra on Mljet, the most forested island in the Mediterranean with 70 percent of its land under woodland. Homer made it the home of the nymph Calypso, who kept Odysseus here for seven years. Our ride runs almost the length of the island to Pomena, where the ship waits. We then sail to Korcula town for the night and a guided city tour full of local history. Approx. 33 km.

A long ride the length of Korcula, with a mild Mediterranean climate and a constantly changing landscape. Take time to stop for the view over deep blue water to the neighbouring islands. Dinner is served on board to restore us after an active day, and the night is spent in the sheltered bay of Vela Luka. Approx. 60 km.

We leave Korcula behind on a breakfast cruise to Vis, with a possible swim stop before arrival. Vis is the furthest inhabited island from the mainland; a Greek colony called Issa settled here 2,300 years ago, and its strategic position kept it a closed military zone until 1995. The afternoon ride circles the island from Vis town with a coffee stop at Komiza. The night is spent in Vis harbour. Approx. 32 km.

The day opens with a cruise to Hvar town. From the Renaissance square there is a view up to the Spanish Fortress before the ride begins, climbing steadily through small villages and lavender fields to Stari Grad, with a memorable descent. After lunch on board there is an optional second, easier ride to Jelsa and back for ice cream and coffee, returning through Vrboska and the ancient Greek plains, now a protected UNESCO site. Approx. 20 km plus 20 km.

A morning cruise to Brac, famous for the radiant white limestone used in part for the White House in Washington and the Reichstag building in Berlin. We ride the northern coast from Milna to the harbour town of Postira, where the ship waits for lunch and the final crossing to the UNESCO World Heritage city of Trogir. An afternoon guided city tour uncovers the town's layered history, and a celebratory dinner on board closes the week. Approx. 30 km.

One final breakfast onboard. Check-out of your cabin by 9am.
