Of special interest is the magnificent Diocletian Palace, once the home to the Roman Emperor. After the tour, we’ll return to our ship for a Welcome cocktail reception. Since we’ll be overnighting in Split, you’ll have time to explore and dine independently with your Sisters. (Breakfast)

May 25, 2025

This morning, we’ll sail to the island of Brač, where swimming is planned at the most famous beach in Dalmatia – Zlatni Rat near Bol. Its shingle promontory shifts from side to side as the wind and waves constantly cause the beach shape to change. Bol is a typical fishermen’s village converted into a popular tourist destination yet retaining its charm. Then, we’ll continue toward the jet-set island of Hvar with lunch on board at the Pakleni Islands.  Hvar is the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic, known for lush lavender fields and breath-taking beauty. We’ll arrive in the afternoon for a guided tour of the town’s historical landmarks: the Renaissance cathedral with its original tower, and the oldest community theatre in Europe founded in 1612. You’ll be able to hike up the zig-zag path to the town fort overlooking the harbor for lovely scenic views of our ship and the Pakleni islands. In the evening, Hvar offers a great choice of entertainment – numerous restaurants, bars and clubs with many open long into the night to enjoy with your Sisters. We’ll overnight in the port. (Breakfast and Lunch)

May 26, 2025

Early this morning, we’ll cruise toward the small island Biševo to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon. As sometimes weather conditions can be very unpredictable, the possibility of a cave visit will depend on those conditions however, you will be notified in advance. Later, we’ll continue to the island of Vis, once a strategic naval Yugoslav base and closed to the public for years. Due to this isolation, Vis retains a special charm of “the Mediterranean as it once was”. Situated on the northern side of the island, Vis has developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban center in Croatia. We’re in for a treat when we sample local wines. After, we can visit the remains of the Roman Thermal Place, the City Museum or simply take a walk enjoying the views of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the waterfront. This evening, as we overnight in the port of Vis, you’ll have an opportunity to explore and dine independently with your Sisters. (Breakfast, Lunch, and wine tasting)

Early this morning, we’ll sail towards the island of Korčula, best known as the birthplace of Marco Polo and stop for lunch in one of the secluded bays enroute. This afternoon, upon arrival in Korčula, we’ll take a guided walking tour of this enchanting town surrounded by walls and one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the Mediterranean. The fishbone street pattern was used in Korčula Old Town’s design to provide a natural cooling effect providing citizens with sheltered and comfortable accommodation. This evening, we’ll journey to a small village near Korčula for a typical Dalmatian dinner and to find out more about the history and traditional way of living. We’ll overnight in Korčula. (Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner)

Alternatively, you’ll also have the option to rent kayaks, bicycles, scooters, or convertible cars to roam around the National Park or island on your own but beware of the nymphs! Enjoy the peace and tranquility of the island. This evening, we’ll overnight in port Polača or Pomena. (Breakfast and Lunch)

Later, we’ll transfer back to our ship for the Captain’s dinner with live entertainment. (Breakfast, Lunch, Tasting, and Dinner)
