Itinerary
Medieval Zagreb kickstarts your mesmerising Adriatic journey south to Dubrovnik. On arrival, you’ll be transferred to Opatija where your Local Host will give you a glimpse into what you can expect over the coming days. You’ll have some free time to get your own taste of why Opatija, with its 'Riviera' feel and colourful history, was a favourite getaway of the Habsburgs.
A leisurely start to your day could see you get your final fix of Dubrovnik. Then, transfer to the MV Aquamarin/MV Fantazija where you’ll meet your onboard team. Set sail for Korčula, most famously the birthplace of Marco Polo and reminiscent of Dubrovnik with its med...
Cruise to Zadar, Croatia’s oldest university town. From the 1st-century Roman forum to the 9th-century St. Donat Church, there’s history around every turn. After exploring the wealth of museums, churches and palaces, you’ll make your way to Zadar’s Riva to see (and hear) the mesmerising Sea Organ, comprising several stairs that descend into the sea.
Arrive in Skradin and travel to Bibich winery where you'll Dive Into Culture, learning the stories of the family who own this boutique vineyard. Indulge in a wine tasting of some of the indigenous varietals produced by the vineyards that surround you, paired with some...
Your cruise continues towards the capital of Dalmatia and home to the UNESCO-listed Diocletian’s Palace. Explore another aspect of Split’s buzzing historical town centre on foot with your Local Specialist who’ll share all the iconic and unexpected highlights with you as you wind your way towards Split Market.

Set sail for Korčula, most famously the birthplace of Marco Polo. You’ll discover why the locals call it 'The Black Island' and see how its towering walls have shielded its capital for centuries. After a tour through the Old Town’s narrow streets, you’ll have time to soak up the local atmosphere in one of the many konobas, restaurants or cocktail bars.
Approaching Dubrovnik from the sea is a sight to behold. As you sail past its imposing walls, you’ll get a glimpse of why George Bernard Shaw described the city as 'heaven on earth'. Lunch is served on deck as the ship moors in Gruz harbour. You’ll be treated to a gui...
