Itinerary
DUBROVNIK – KORČULA ( lunch)
Departure at 13:00h towards Korčula, famously known as the birthplace of explorer Marco Polo. Enjoy a swim stop and lunch on board before arriving in Korčula Town, often referred to as a miniature Dubrovnik thanks to its medieval stone ramparts and towers. Join a guided walking tour through the charming old town, where the narrow streets are laid out in a fishbone pattern—a clever design you'll learn more about during the tour. Spend your evening exploring the town's lively atmosphere, with traditional taverns, seaside restaurants, and cool cocktail bars offering something for everyone. Overnight in Korčula.
KORČULA – METKOVIĆ (Breakfast, lunch and Capitan's dinner)
Today, cruise inland to discover one of the last remaining wetland deltas in Europe. Arrive in Metković, located along the Neretva River, where vibrant mandarin groves line the water channels. Take a traditional barge ride through the delta to explore its rich flora, fauna, and birdlife, while getting a glimpse of the local way of life that feels delightfully untouched by time. Visit the Narona Archaeological Museum in nearby Vid, Croatia’s first in situ museum, built around the remains of a Roman Augusteum temple featuring 17 remarkable marble statues. This was once the sailing ground of ancient Illyrians, Greeks, Romans—and, if legends are true, even Neretva pirates!
This evening, enjoy a Captain’s Dinner with live entertainment on board. Overnight in Metković.
METKOVIĆ – TROGIR (Breakfast and lunch)
From Metković, the cruise continues to Trogir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Dalmatia’s most enchanting coastal towns. This small island town is a treasure trove of historical architecture, surrounded by medieval walls and packed with Romanesque and Renaissance buildings. Upon arrival, join a guided walking tour through the stone-paved streets and discover highlights such as the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, Kamerlengo Fortress, and charming hidden courtyards. Overnight in Trogir.
TROGIR – SKRADIN, NP KRKA/ ŠIBENIK ( (Breakfast, tasting and dinner)
Next, a perfect blend of wine and waterfalls. Cruise towards Skradin, then board a coach to visit a local winery for wine tasting and a light tapas lunch. Back in Skradin, explore the stunning Krka National Park, home to the famous Skradinski Buk waterfalls—17 cascades tumbling over travertine cliffs, creating a spectacular natural amphitheatre. After your nature-filled adventure, the journey continues to Šibenik, a historic town nestled along Croatia’s central Adriatic coast. Discover its UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St. James, a Gothic-Renaissance masterpiece, and wander the old town's narrow streets or enjoy some boutique shopping along the waterfront. Dinner on board and overnight in Šibenik
ŠIBENIK – ZADAR (Breakfast and lunch)
After breakfast, set course for Zadar, Croatia’s oldest university town, renowned for its rich cultural heritage of global significance. At every turn, history comes alive: visit the Roman Forum from the 1st century, and admire St. Donat’s Church, a 9th-century gem and one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. The 16th-century City Gate and mighty defensive walls encase a charming old town filled with over 30 churches, elegant family palaces, and standout museums, especially the Museum of Ancient Glass. On the waterfront, Zadar's modern flair shines through with two award-winning installations: the Sea Organ, playing music powered by waves, and the Greeting to the Sun, a dazzling solar-powered light display. Overnight in Zadar
ZADAR – RAB ISLAND (Breakfast, lunch and tasting)
Departure towards Rab, famously known as the “island of love”, and its charming old town of the same name. Upon arrival, join a guided walking tour through the historic centre, where you’ll explore the medieval city walls, the iconic four bell towers, as well as elegant palaces, churches, and lively squares. The town has a Montmartre-like vibe, with local artists painting and displaying their work in the open air. After the tour, enjoy a tasting of the legendary Rab cake, a delicacy originally created by local nuns for a visiting Pope. The recipe remains a closely guarded secret, but the flavour speaks for itself. Overnight in Rab.
RAB ISLAND – OPATIJA (breakfast and lunch)
The journey continues towards the grand finale—Opatija, often dubbed Croatia’s Riviera for its Belle Époque elegance and glamour. The best way to admire it? From the sea, as royal families, celebrities, and artists once did. Upon docking, join a guided walking tour to learn about the town’s storied past and its architectural jewels. Then, stroll the famous Franz Joseph promenade (Lungomare) to Volosko, a traditional fishing village now known for some of Croatia’s top seafood restaurants. Or simply soak up the café culture with a coffee, cocktail, or gelato on one of many sea-view terraces. Overnight in the port of Opatija
OPATIJA (Breakfast)
After breakfast, it’s time for fond farewells. Say goodbye to your crew and fellow travellers, and disembark in Opatija—hopefully with your heart a little fuller and your camera roll burstin

Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik - a popular film destination
Popularity of Dubrovnik greatly helped Hollywood movies filmed on its historical streets. The last such project was the series "Game of Thrones" that Dubrovnik lifted high on Hollywood sets. There is no doubt that this popular series has opened many doors for this small town on the Adriatic. Tourism and film industry go hand in hand to each other, so that the future of this city certainly can only further flourish. Fans of this popular series travel miles and miles to see and feel all the locations where their favorite series were filmed to experience the scene from a small screen.
Dubrovnik is a city in southern Croatia, administrative center of Dubrovnik-Neretva County and one of the most historic Croatian tourist destination. It is 25 km distant from the international airport of Dubrovnik, regularly connected with most of European cities, and the 90 km distant from the highway, which connects Croatia with Europe. In addition to a very good air and land connections, Dubrovnik boasts excellent maritime connection. Dubrovnik port is one of the most visited in the Mediterranean. It is the first point maritime route from east to west on entering in the Adriatic Sea, it is protected with islands and the Neretva valley is the fastest communication with the interior. Recent archaeological research found that a settlement on the site of the city existed in the 6th century, and probably before. Dubrovnik expanded with the arrival of the Croats after the ancient Epidaurus (today's Cavtat) in the 7th century.
Of the many manifestations of Dubrovnik, one should emphasize the Dubrovnik Summer Festival, which was founded in 1949. The unique ambience of the closed and open stages of the Renaissance and Baroque city of Dubrovnik in the period from 10 July to 25 August held numerous music, drama and dance performances. The backbone of the festival are works of Marin Držić, Gundulić Ivan, Ivo Vojnovic, William Shakespeare, Carlo Goldoni, the Greek tragedians and others. The musical part of the program presents the best local composers, soloists and orchestras, and their foreign guests. Display even operas, particularly comic. Libertas Film Festival started in 2005 with the idea that the festival cultural offer should be expanded with the film offer. The festival takes place during the summer and on a repertory are films and documentary films from independent productions dedicated to the promotion of freedom in countries around the world. Movies rated best by the audience receives a special audience award.
