Stand beneath the ancient walls of Dubrovnik as the Adriatic glows beneath the evening sun, then step aboard and let the Dalmatian coast carry you north through islands, harbours, and centuries of history. Sail across Croatia’s most cinematic coastline and experience the Adriatic from the water itself.

Drift from historic Dubrovnik to the Venetian beauty of Korčula, where hidden alleys and waterfront cafés invite slow exploration. Continue toward lively Makarska, swim in turquoise bays, and cruise beneath rugged coastal mountains before arriving in UNESCO-listed Split (Trogir). Each day brings a new harbour, swim stop, and stretch of coastline to discover.

Designed for travellers who want movement without stress, this 5-day cruise blends discovery, comfort, and effortless travel between destinations. Sleep on board your floating hotel, wake to a new horizon each morning, and let everything be taken care of while you explore the Adriatic coast.

Route details

Arrive in breathtaking Dubrovnik and leave your bags on board before stepping into a city shaped by sea, stone, and centuries of history. Wander marble streets, trace the ancient walls from below, and let the Adriatic atmosphere pull you into the rhythm of the coast.

Official check-in is from 5pm onwards but you can arrive to the boat earlier, after 11am, leave your bags onboard and choose from the many activities happening in Dubrovnik that day.

Explore the Old Town at your own pace, pause at hidden squares and waterfront viewpoints, and watch the city glow beneath the late afternoon sun. Every alleyway feels cinematic, layered with stories of empires, sailors, and trade routes that once crossed these shores.

Return to the ship in the evening for a shared onboard dinner and meet your fellow travellers as the harbour lights begin to shimmer across the water. Let the first night unfold slowly, with the Adriatic waiting just beyond the deck.
