30-40s CRUISES
8-DAY SPLIT RETURN CRUISE
DAY ONE
Split to Makarska
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 socialising started with lunch and a much-needed swim stop.
We dock into Makarska late in the afternoon, giving you time to go around the towns, grab a gelato and have dinner in one of the many restaurants, pizzerias and tavernas that line the promenades.
In Makarska, the most popular ways to spend the evenings (and nights!) is at the Sol Lounge Bar (great cocktails and view on the sunsets) and the famous Club Deep, also known as the “Rave in a Cave”. Say no more…
DAY TWO
Makarska to Mljet
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 onboard mixed-grill dinner this evening (either in Mljet or we might head over to Slano or Sipan island for the overnight) as the setting is perfect.
Optional excursions: Entrance to Mljet National Park (approx 20 Euros), bike or kayak hire (from 6-7 Euros), mix-grill dinner (approx 25 Euros, depending on inclusions).
DAY THREE
Mljet (or Slano/Sipan) to Dubrovnik
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.
Optional excursions:
(1) Dubrovnik is also the setting for the capital city of Westeros, Kings Landing, in Game of Thrones. If you are a fan, why not take a walking tour of the locations of the most famous scenes in the ultra-popular show and get an overview of the history of Dubrovnik at the same time? 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.
(2) Close to where your boat docks in Gruz port, there is a secluded beach with a 250-metre long ZIPLINE! We can arrange transfer there and back, with a zipline ride (or 2!) included in the excursion.
DAY FOUR
Dubrovnik
Whole day in Dubrovnik!
IMPORTANT: to give you the convenience of not needing to return to the boat for lunch so that you can stay out in Dubrovnik, the included meals for today are breakfast + dinner (not breakfast + lunch, like the other days).
There are so many things to do in this city. We recommend:
(1) Doing the awesome buggy tour – you are taken to Mount Srd to get a bird’s eye view of the Old City and Elaphite Isles before driving an off-road buggy around the mountain.
Unmissable!
(2)Taking a cable car ride up to Mount Srd for the most incredible view imaginable (note: buggy trip takes you past same cable car station for same view).
(3) Dubrovnik is also the setting for the capital city of Westeros, Kings Landing, in Game of Thrones. If you are a fan, why not take a walking tour of the locations of the most famous scenes in the ultra-popular show and get an overview of the history of Dubrovnik at the same time?
(4) Take a shuttle boat over to Lokrum Island from the Old City.
As mentioned, dinner is included this evening and is served around 6.30pm. The evening is free afterwards to have a few drinks onboard, head back into Dubrovnik, or go to a few places around Gruz port (we recommend the amazing Dubrovnik Beer Company bar near the boat).
Optional excursions: Buggy Safari and/or Game of Thrones+Dubrovnik Walking Tour.
DAY FIVE
Dubrovnik to Korcula Island
It’s goodbye to Dubrovnik and hello to more incredible scenery as we head to Korcula Island, which is said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo. We are spoilt for choice with swimming spots en route before we dock near the Old City (with the same name as the island) to drop everyone off to explore the town. This pocket town is another gem with excellent restaurants and the famous Massimo cocktail bar in the “half-tower”. Overnight in either Korcula town, the ferry port or a nearby village such as Lumbarda.
Optional excursion: Wine-tasting
DAY SIX
Korcula Island to Hvar Island (Jelsa, Stari Grad or Hvar)
Hvar Island is rated as one of the highlights of the trip and it’s not hard to see why. It boasts several gorgeous towns such as Jelsa (where we often dock), Stari Grad and Hvar Town itself.
We arrive into Jelsa, Stari Grad or Hvar Town (if we are lucky enough to get a docking space there) after lunch, and if you fancy visiting other towns, you can easily take a bus or taxi (not included) as the town are only around 15-25 mins from each other.
Hvar town’s nightlife is legendary and nothing beats catching the sunset at Hula Hula bar, then taking the organised shuttle boat over to Carpe Diem – the famous “club on an island”.
Stari Grad’s old town is a delight to explore, with several cosy wine-bars to be found on its winding streets. Jelsa has a wonderful harbour and promenade and features a famous park that often has live, outdoor music performances and festivals.
You are spolit for choice!
DAY SEVEN
Hvar Island to Split
Our final, full day starts with a swim stop and continue past Brac Island on the way to the biggest city on the Dalmatian coast: Split.
In the afternoon we dock into Split, with enough time to take in some of the inspiring sights of this city, including Diocletian’s Palace, the iconic statue of Gregory of Nin and Bacvice Beach.
Optional excursion: Rapid Rafting
DAY EIGHT
Split
After breakfast it is time to say goodbye to your shipmates and crew. Check-out is by 9am although you can leave earlier if you need to (for early flights, buses etc). The adventure does not need to stop here though as there is the option of an excursion to see the waterfalls of Krka National Park.
DAY TWO
