Split to Dubrovnik, island by island
The route
A slower, sun-warmed route down the Dalmatian coast — limestone islands, a fjord that isn't quite a fjord, and two of the best-preserved old towns on the Adriatic.

Day by day
Split — Embarkation
Board within the walls of Diocletian's Palace. An evening welcome dinner on the Sun Deck as the old town lights come up.

Lavender fields and a Venetian fortress. Free time to swim off the tender before an afternoon walk through the old town.
At sea — Pelješac
A slow cruising day past the Pelješac peninsula, with a zodiac stop at a family-run oyster farm in the Mali Ston bay.
Kotor
Entry into the Bay of Kotor, often mistaken for a fjord. Morning walk up the old city walls; afternoon zodiac tour of Perast and its island churches.
Mljet — Landing
A national park island with two saltwater lakes. A guided hike through pine forest to a Benedictine monastery on its own islet.
