Welcome to Dubrovnik – the Pearl of the Adriatic. Arrive at the city airport, where you'll be picked up and driven to the Peregrine Dalmatia. Board the boat at 5pm before meeting the crew and your fellow travellers over a welcome drink. Start to build friendships with your first dinner on the boat.

Kick off the day with breakfast, before a cruise to Korcula, said to be the birthplace of explorer Marco Polo. You’ll have lunch on board and, if there’s enough time, a chance to splash around in the sea. Come afternoon, set foot on terra firma; take an orientation walk and then embrace the Marco Polo spirit and enjoy free time to explore.

Today we set sail for Opuzen, eating breakfast on the boat and taking the opportunity to stop for a swim near the small island Badija. Continue to Trpanj and take a transfer to the Matusko winery for a vineyard tour and, yes, a tasting. Return to the boat and enjoy a cruise along the Neretva river to Opuzen. Dinner tonight is a barbecue on deck.

Rise early for a minibus ride to Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. You’ll take a guided tour of the town, stopping at a workshop that creates traditional coffee sets and copper wall carvings. Also enjoy free time for lunch and a self-guided exploration. In the early afternoon, head back to Opuzen for a pootle in small wooden boats through wetlands, enjoying local snacks and music during the journey. You’ll end the day at a restaurant with sea views to try local dishes such as peka lamb. Cruise back to Opuzen, where you can explore solo, perhaps dipping into one of the bars around the town square.

Today, you’ll cruise into Jelsa, on Hvar island, where you’ll pick up a private transfer to a local farm. Here, you’ll get the chance to taste the produce and stroll through neighbouring lavender fields, before heading to Hvar town. Join your leader for a walk before heading to Stari Grad in the evening.

After a morning cruise, you’ll arrive in Split in the early afternoon. Meet a local for a tour around the city, then the rest of the day is to explore as you wish, perhaps checking out the beautiful waterfront or admiring the Roman ruins.

Take breakfast on the boat, before exploring the old city of Split. After lunch, head back to the vessel for a private transfer to Krka National Park, where you will board a smaller boat to explore. Visit the waterfalls that the park is famous for; you can even stop for a dip if you fancy. Afterwards, you’ll return to Split by bus for a captain’s dinner on board the boat.

The adventure comes to an end today. Enjoy a final breakfast before saying a fond farewell to the crew and your fellow passengers. You can either make your way to Split International Airport to catch your return flight home, or continue your exploration of the Dalmatian coast.
