Today’s destination is the island of Vis, once a restricted Yugoslav naval base, only recently opened to tourism. En route, stop for lunch in a tranquil bay.

In the afternoon, enjoy a wine tasting at a family-owned winery, uniquely located in a former military tunnel. Overnight in the port of Visor Komiža (subject to berth availability), both offering a genuine taste of the island’s character.

Depart early for the small island of Biševo to visit the stunning Blue Cave, a unique natural phenomenon (entrance fee to be paid on spot). As weather conditions can be unpredictable, your cruise manager will inform you in advance whether the visit is possible. Afterwards, cruise to the chic island of Hvar, with a swim stop and lunch around the Pakleni Islands. Arrive in Hvar in the afternoon and join a guided walking tour, including the Renaissance Cathedral, its original bell tower, and Europe’s oldest community theatre, founded in 1612. For panoramic views, climb the zig-zag path to the hilltop fortress overlooking the harbour and Pakleni Islands. Hvar offers plenty of nightlife, with vibrant restaurants, bars, and clubs open well into the night.
Overnight stay is planned in Hvar or Stari Grad (subject to berth availability), both offering a genuine taste of the island’s character.

Early morning cruise toward the coastal jewel of Trogir, often referred to as a “miniature Venice” and celebrated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With a history spanning over 3,000 years, this town is a living museum of Romanesque and Renaissance artistry. Join a guided walking tour through its maze of cobbled streets, grand palaces, and ancient city walls.

In the evening, gather for a Captain’s Dinner on board, complete with live music to mark the occasion. Overnight in Trogir.

Start your day with a scenic cruise northward, enjoying breakfast on board and a refreshing swim stop along the way.
