Jump on board and meet your Captain, crew and shipmates! Check-in is from 11am to 12pm and we aim to depart Split for Makarska at around 1pm and get the cruise started with lunch and a much-needed swim stop. We dock in Makarska late in the afternoon, giving you time to go around the town, enjoy a gelato and have dinner in one of the many restaurants, pizzerias and tavernas that line the promenade. Two of the most popular ways to spend the evening/night is either at the new Makarska observatory or at Club Deep, an amazing club in a cave directly on the beach.
# Included: Lunch onboard

Day 2: to MLJET NATIONAL PARK (Sipan/Slano) (B,L)
Our boat leaves early for the crossing to Mljet Island. After lunch, we will dock in either Pomena or Polace and have the rest of the afternoon free to explore this island’s stunning National Park and its lakes. There are several options for this exploration: hire a bike for a few hours and pedal your way around the lakes’ excellent cycle paths, hire a kayak for paddle-power or simply go for a hike. We also offer an optional 'mixed grill' Captain’s Dinner onboard this evening (either in Mljet or we might head over to Slano or Sipan island) as the setting is perfect.

With some gorgeous bays around Mljet, Slano and Sipan, we are spoilt for choice for a swim stop this morning. We then cross to Dubrovnik through the Elaphite archipelago of islands – a truly amazing sight. We arrive in Dubrovnik in the early afternoon, which gives you time for some must-dos, including a sunset walk around the famous walls and sampling a cocktail at one of the cliff bars as you watch the sun go down. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from in and around the Old City, as well as events at clubs such as Revelin. Overnight onboard in Dubrovnik, Gruz Harbour.

If you are not a GOT fan then we also have a dedicated Dubrovnik Historical Walk that focuses on the city’s non-fictional history.
