This itinerary balances exploration and ease, blending cultural insight, marine biodiversity, and effortless luxury. Every moment at sea connects you to the Adriatic’s natural and historic heartbeat, offering a seven-day journey unlike any other.
Split to Trogir
From Roman Ruins to Medieval Streets
Depart from Split, a city renowned for its Roman heritage, and sail to Trogir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Trogir boasts a well-preserved medieval town center, with structures dating back to the Romanesque and Renaissance periods. Explore the Cathedral of St. Lawrence and stroll along the waterfront promenade. The town's compact size allows for leisurely exploration, making it an ideal first stop.
Hvar
Sunlit Vineyards Above the Sea
Hvar is renowned for its fragrant lavender fields and sun-soaked terraces. Visit the 16th-century fortress for sweeping vistas of Hvar Town and the surrounding islands. Stari Grad offers historical streets and local markets. Private bays provide swimming and snorkeling in clear turquoise waters.
Vis
The Island of Authentic Adriatic Life
Vis remains one of the Adriatic’s most secluded islands, its beauty preserved by decades of military isolation. Anchor near crystal-clear bays, wander quiet villages, and take a short excursion to the Blue Cave on Biševo Island. The ethereal glow inside the cave, created by sunlight filtering through the sea, is a magical highlight of the Adriatic experience.
Korčula
Adriatic Heritage on a Timeless Island
Korčula greets you with medieval walls, narrow alleyways, and centuries-old charm. Often called “Little Dubrovnik,” the town offers a rich cultural tapestry, including the Marco Polo Museum and local wine tastings. Evening is best spent at the harbor, sipping local wines while watching the sunset color the town’s terracotta rooftops.
Lastovo
Croatia’s Remote Adriatic Sanctuary
Lastovo, part of Croatia’s Lastovo Archipelago Nature Park, is renowned for its unspoiled landscapes and exceptional stargazing. Protected since 2006, the park preserves hidden coves, forested trails, and small villages. Its remote location and minimal light pollution make it one of Europe’s darkest skies, ideal for observing constellations and the Milky Way. Visitors can swim, hike, and immerse themselves in the rare tranquility of this protected Adriatic island.
Maslinica (Šolta)
Adriatic Calm in Hidden Harbors
Maslinica is a quiet village with a small harbor and ancient olive groves. Here, slow living takes center stage: swim from the yacht in calm waters, wander through the village, and taste freshly pressed olive oil produced on the island. The surrounding bays are ideal for anchoring and soaking in the sun before the final leg back to Split.
Split
A Farewell to the Dalmatian Coast
Your final morning can be spent swimming in a nearby cove or enjoying coffee on deck while the coastline drifts by. Return to Split to explore Diocletian’s Palace, local markets, and the Riva promenade before disembarkation. The city’s blend of history and contemporary life offers a memorable conclusion to a week of Adriatic discovery.
