Dubrovnik to Dubrovnik  (8 Days) – Deluxe Divine Dalmatia

DAY 1 – DUBROVNIK

Check in from 14.00h onwards at GRUŽ harbour. Dinner on board is your first meal. The first overnight is planned in Dubrovnik because of many guests arriving on different flights at Dubrovnik. This is a world famous and rather special place where the old town and many of the buildings have remained (some barely changed) from the time of the old Dubrovnik Republic. Many of the historic and cultural buildings belong to the architecture of the Renaissance period with some traces of the Gothic style too. We suggest that, during the afternoon, you go up and walk the famous ramparts then, over a drink in famous Stradun you can plan your last night of the cruise when we return to this wonderful city.

DAY 2 – DUBROVNIK  – KORČULA

Morning departure and stop for lunch en route. Afternoon arrival in Korčula. A local guide will lead you through the old town where tiny streets are designed in a fish bone pattern for a very good reason that you will hear about! On this Island you can find more legends, tales and monuments than anywhere else while you wander along the herringbone pattern streets.

DAY 3 – KORČULA – SPLIT

We continue south to Split, Croatia’s second largest city where Roman Emperor Diocletian built himself an extraordinary palace for his retirement! It is now under UNESCO protection. Split waterfront and port is a happening place and there’s a buzz along the beautiful wide promenade. A local guide meets us on arrival for a walk through the heart of the bustling old town and the market.  Tonight you can explore the many bars and restaurants and try out the local nightlife,

Walk along the promenade or swim at one of the most famous beaches in Dalmatia – Zlatni Rat (the Golden cape – known for its gravel promontory shifts from side to side as the wind and waves constantly change its shape). Bol is a typical fishermen’s town turned into a popular tourist destination. After lunch on board time at leisure until afternoon wine tasting in the facilities of the oldest Dalmatia wine cooperative (dating 1903). Captain`s dinner on board.
