Your Itinerary
DAY 1: UK - Dubrovnik.
Fly to Dubrovnik where you will be met and transferred to your ship, MS Belle de l'Adriatique, for embarkation. (D)
DAY 2: Dubrovnik.
Dubrovnik is a beautiful city overlooking the sparkling Adriatic Sea and stunning Dalmatian Coast. Once a rival to Venice as a trading centre, Dubrovnik's Old Town sits protected behind mighty medieval walls measuring almost 2 kilometres long. After breakfast, enjoy an optional guided tour of the city centre, taking in a wealth of sights from the Dominican monastery to the glorious Rector's Palace. This afternoon, explore the city at leisure, perhaps strolling along the ramparts and admiring the views. (B, L, D)
DAY 3: Mljet - Korcula.
Thought to be one of the most beautiful islands in the Adriatic, Mljet is a tiny, unspoilt paradise fringed with a soft, sandy shoreline and burgeoning with ripe, green forestry and rich Mediterranean flora. This morning's optional excursion visits the island's two impressive saltwater lakes, Veliko Jezero and Malo Jezero. Enjoy a boat trip to an island in the centre of Veliko Jezero for a visit to the impressive 12th century Benedictine monastery. During lunch, set sail for Korcula, a quaint medieval island-town, filled with narrow stone streets and romantic churches. Enjoy an optional guided tour, which takes in St Mark's Cathedral and the town museum, before returning to your ship for dinner and a traditional sabre dancing show. (B, L, D)
DAY 4: Korcula - Sibenik.
Enjoy a leisurely morning cruising amidst the beautiful islands of the Adriatic before reaching Sibenik on the Croatian mainland this afternoon. As the oldest Slav settlement on the Adriatic, the town is rich in cultural heritage. Join the optional guided tour of the historic centre, to explore a maze of tiny streets and medieval architecture, before heading into the surrounding countryside for a visit to the magnificent natural cascade of Krka Falls. (B, L, D)
DAY 5: Sibenik - Trogir - Split.
In the heart of Dalmatia, idyllic Trogir sits on a small islet, nestled amid verdant hills, between the Croatian mainland and the island of Ciovo. The optional tour of the town will guide you through the vaulted passageways and labyrinthine streets of this UNESCO world heritage site. Visit the 13th century St Laurence Cathedral before returning to your ship for lunch and a leisurely cruise towards Split. As Croatia's second largest city, Split is known as the 'Capital of Dalmatia' and famed as the home of the ancient Diocletian Palace. Visit the palace ruins on an optional tour, including the ramparts, mausoleum and Titova Obala walkway, before returning to your ship for dinner. (B, L, D)
DAY 6: Split - Hvar - Vis.
Sail the shimmering waters of the Adriatic to the delightful island of Hvar. Historically an important centre on the Adriatic trade route, Hvar has a chequered history of domination and ownership under the Greeks, Romans, Venetians, Turks, Austrians, French and Italians. Today, it is rich in history and culture and renowned for its wealth of sunshine, cultivated vineyards, and burgeoning fields of lavender, rosemary, sage, marjoram and thyme. Enjoy an optional guided tour of the Trg Svetog Stjepana main square, St Stephen's Cathedral, and the 15th century Franciscan monastery before returning to your ship for lunch and departure towards Vis, an unspoilt haven of pristine landscapes and rugged coastlines. Explore this blissful retreat before returning to your ship for dinner and a gala evening. (B, L, D)
DAY 7: Kotor - Dubrovnik.
Glide into Montenegro's spectacular Bay of Kotor this morning. Known locally as the 'Boka Kotorska', the islet is considered to be the only fjord in the Mediterranean and is renowned for its stunning scenery of glassy waters, luxuriant vegetation and soaring mountains. Kotor is a well-preserved medieval town, complete with 4 kilometre-long walls and a towering fortress perched high above on a hilltop. An optional guided tour is available which includes visits to Saint Tryphon Cathedral and the Maritime Museum. This afternoon, set sail for Dubrovnik. (B, L, D)
