We'll meet in Dubrovnik the day before the cruise at a 5-star resort right on the coast (this is included, as is the transfer from the airport to the hotel). Explore Dubrovnik a bit on your own, and then in more detail with our included excursion the next morning.

After that, we board the yacht for our 7-night cruise up the Dalmatian coast. We'll stop at several sites of the ancient Republic of Venice, which stretched out across much of what is modern day Croatia. Expect marvelous ruins, stunning scenery, walled cities, fantastic shopping, and superb food along the way! Our trip includes an excursion in each city.

Oh, and we'll make numerous swim stops along the way - you can just jump off the side of the boat, or lounge on the raft connected to the boat, or ride a powered sea-bob!

Mornings are perfect for unwinding on deck, swimming in crystal-clear waters, or simply soaking up the sun. Afternoons and evenings are designed for discovery, with immersive experiences led by local experts. Let the captain, crew, and tour manager handle every detail while you relax and enjoy Croatia at its finest—from hidden coves to historic coastal gems.
