Wine and waterfalls! Cruise to Skradin, then hop aboard a coach to a local winery for a delightful wine tasting paired with a light tapas-style lunch.

Cruise to Hvar, an island where lavender fields, Venetian architecture, and Adriatic charm blend into one unforgettable setting. Arrive in Hvar Town, a lively harbor watched over by a centuries-old fortress and lined with graceful stone facades. Explore its cobblestoned streets, visit the Renaissance Cathedral and the oldest public theatre in Europe, or climb to the Fortica fortress for panoramic views of the Pakleni Islands shimmering below. Enjoy the afternoon at leisure—perhaps discover hidden beaches, sip local wine in a seaside café, or simply take in the island’s effortless rhythm. Overnight in Hvar.
