Highlights
  • Sail up the spectacular Neretva River in a traditional wooden boat to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • Taste some local olive oil at the local museum in Brac – the longest island in central Dalmatia – before exploring this gorgeous island at your own pace.
  • Explore the beautiful town of Mostar – check out the town’s iconic bridge and see how traditional Bosnian coffee is made followed by a sample of this delicious brew.
  • Spend more time exploring the beautiful Croatian coast and less time on the boat with plenty of port stops and offshore activities.
  • Drop anchor in the middle of port towns like Hvar or Korcula and explore straight off the boat – one of the many benefits of small-ship cruising.

Itinerary

Travelling by sea is a fantastic way to explore, but it brings some challenges when weather conditions are not ideal. The itinerary may be subject to change, based on winds and sea conditions which may render anchorage and landing at some stops difficult. We reserve the right to change the itinerary for the safety of passengers and the ship. Shore excursions are subject to shore and weather conditions and are based on a minimum participation. Each days' schedule will be posted by the cruise co-ordinator listing necessary information such as arrival/departure times, meal times, days activities and other information. This is given as a guideline and is subject to change.

Day 1 - Split
Dobro Dosli! Welcome to Croatia. There is so much to see and do in the gorgeous seaside oasis of Split, where your adventure begins, so it's recommended you arrive a couple of days early. Your luggage can be dropped off at the boat from midday, so feel free to explore Split before boarding commences at 5 pm. This is where you’ll meet your fellow travellers for a welcome meeting and safety briefing. This evening, sit down for your first group dinner on board and get to know each other.
Day 2 - Split - Brac
This morning you'll sail to the colourful island of Brac. Along the way, stop for a swim in the ocean and have lunch aboard the boat. When you arrive in Brac – the longest island in central Dalmatia – you’ll head to the Skrip museum. As the oldest settlement on the island, this regional museum is full of fascinating history. After, visit the Olive Oil Museum to explore the history of this cooking staple on the island. Here, you'll can also taste some local olive oil along with some local produce (and pick up a souvenir, if you fancy). Tonight, enjoy some free time exploring Brac or lounging on the boat.
Day 3 - Brac - Hvar
Set sail for the island of Hvar, enjoying breakfast on board. Stop to swim in the waters of the Adriatic at a secluded beach close to Stari Grad, Hvar's old town. Arrive around midday and look across one of Europe's oldest towns while lunching on board the Aurora. Next, take a bus to explore the island known as the 'Queen of the Dalmatian Islands'. Visit a nearby lavender farm and try some local produce. After, drive to Hvar town for an orientation walk with your leader, then enjoy free time to explore. Return to Stari Grad and dine at a local restaurant of your choosing. Overnight in Hvar (Stari Grad).
Day 4 - Hvar - Opuzen
Set sail early towards Opuzen, stopping for a spot of swimming along the way. Enjoy lunch on board as you sail up the Neretva River towards Opuzen. When you arrive, jump into small wooden boats for a leisurely cruise through the surrounding wetlands (with local snacks and music on board). End up at a beautiful local restaurant overlooking the water for Peka veal and other local dishes, then board the boat and return to Opuzen. This evening, you may like to venture out to a couple of the bars around the town square to meet the locals to soak up the atmosphere.
Day 5 - Opuzen - Mostar - Opuzen - Trpanj
It’s an early start this morning as you make your way to Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina by minibus. When you arrive, take a tour with a local guide, learn about the history of the iconic bridge and visit a local coffee shop where you’ll see how Bosnian coffee is made. Then, taste it for yourself! You’ll then have some free time to explore the town and have lunch at your own pace. Return to the boat the early afternoon and set sail for Trpanj, where you’ll visit the Matusko winery for a tasting and to enjoy the beautiful grounds of the vineyards. Return to the boat to enjoy a four-course dinner with the captain.
Day 6 - Trpanj - Korcula
After breakfast on board, enjoy a mid-morning swim stop in beautiful clear waters of Loviste in the Peljesac Peninsula. Return to the boat and set sail for Korcula – the birthplace of Marco Polo. This afternoon, you’ll join your leader for an orientation tour of the town. Then tonight, you’ll be spoiled for choice with many restaurants overlooking the waterfront – ask your leader for their recommendations. Spend the night at port, with the boat rocking gently with the water.
Day 7 - Korcula - Dubrovnik
Leave early this morning and cruise to Dubrovnik, stopping mid-morning for a swim near the island of Jakljan. Have your lunch on board before arriving in Dubrovnik in the early afternoon, where you’ll join a local guide to explore this beautiful walled city. Tonight, enjoy a final dinner on board the Aurora with your fellow travellers, making sure to toast to an incredible sailing adventure.
Day 8 - Dubrovnik
Your adventure along the Dalmatian Coast ends after breakfast today and with no activities planned, you are free to leave at any time. If you’d like to extend your stay in Dubrovnik, and it’s recommended that you do, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
