Itinerary

Your Mediterranean cruise begins in the historic city of Dubrovnik, where you'll be transferred to your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht to embark on a tour of intriguing cities and extraordinary coastlines.

Please book your flight to arrive into Dubrovnik prior to 07:00 PM. (D)

Dubrovnik, known as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic', is a compelling city on Croatia's Dalmatian coast. With its medieval city walls and breathtaking views of terracotta rooftops and the Adriatic Sea, it offers the perfect blend of cultural exploration and a beach holiday. (B/L/D)

Croatia's second-largest city, Split, is visually stunning and rich with culture, history and architecture. Take a stroll along the Riva past beautiful terraces, palm trees and busy eateries with harbour views. Diocletian's Palace, built in the 4th century AD, dominates the city centre and houses a myriad of buzzing bars and cafes. (B/L/D)

Get ready to set sail in the morning from Split to Zadar. A historic city set on a peninsula; Zadar boasts relics from various eras. Explore the churches, Roman ruins, and unique modern attractions: the Sun Salutation and Sea Organ, which are inventive sound, surf and sun-activated art pieces. (B/L/D)

On the western peninsula of Croatia, southwest of the city of Rijeka, is Opatija, with alluring views across the Adriatic towards the Kvarner Islands and the distant Istrian mountains. Known as the Nice of Croatia, Opatija has lovely seaside promenades and fairy-tale villas. Enjoy one of the local specialities: mussels with pršut or fish stew. (B/L/D)

Piran is a pretty town of red-tiled, white-washed buildings clustered on the tip of the Piran peninsula. Part of the Venetian empire from the late 13th century to the end of the 18th century, its esteemed for its gothic-style Venetian architecture. (B/L/D)

Venice is an enchanting city that exudes an atmosphere not found anywhere else in the world. Established in the 5th century, the city stretches across 118 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic. Admire the grandeur of the canals and see St Marks Basilica. (B/L/D)

The town of Rovinj on the Istrian Peninsula is threaded with Italian influence. Guests love the winding city streets, picturesque harbour and colourful building facades. It's a lovely, walkable town and there are plenty of art galleries, small squares and a harbour dotted with fishing boats. (B/L/D)

Today we visit Šibenik, nestled in a sea inlet on Croatia's Adriatic coast. The origins of Šibenik date back to 1066 and there is a plethora of architectural styles to admire. Don't miss the UNESCO World Heritage-listed St James' Cathedral, crafted from white stone – just take the stairs from the Riva, the seaside promenade. (B/L/D)

The tiny town of Trogir is a hidden gem, located on a small island between the mainland and Ciovo Island. For some of the most spectacular views of this photogenic town, climb the tower of the Cathedral of St Lawrence — it's the highest building in Trogir. (B/L/D)

The island of Vis, off the Croatian mainland, was closed to visitors until 1989. This has given Vis a rare sense of peace and authenticity. Its rocky coastline, azure waters and Venetian architecture made it the ideal backdrop of the film ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.' (2018). As the afternoon rolls in, it's time to set sail to Hvar. (B/L/D)

The heart of island paradise Hvar is the Old Town — while it's become a modern-day hotspot, it's layered in history and architectural wonder. The town of Hvar is a photogenic jumble of whitewashed buildings with sun-kissed red roofs, and beyond the town are rolling hills peppered with lavender fields, olive groves, and grapevines. (B/L/D)

The sixth-largest island in the Adriatic, Korcula, is among the most beloved in Croatia. Its Old Town, referred to by the locals as ‘Little Dubrovnik', is a delightful collection of medieval churches, palaces, and squares, while the villages of Cara and Smokvica produce the country's signature dry white wine. You will sail to Dubrovnik later in the day. (B/L/D)

Your Emerald Cruises voyage concludes in the grand, historic city of Dubrovnik. From the yacht, you will be transferred to the airport for your journey home or to continue your holiday.

Eleven days of pure bliss, our expectations were surpassed on this voyage from Athens to Athens. We could not fault any aspect of our time aboard or any of the activities we enjoyed. Special mentions go to Karen (activities), Paul (chef & his crew) and Ozay in the spa.
