After the tour, return transfer to the ship for a welcome / meet & greet cocktail reception on board. Overnight in Dubrovnik.

THURSDAY DUBROVNIK – PERAST – KOTOR (B, L)

SATURDAY KOTOR – ŠIPAN (B, L, CD)

Early morning departure towards Croatia. After the formalities and crossing the border, we continue our trip towards the Elafiti islands, a group of islands west of Dubrovnik, which were a part of a glorious Dubrovnik Republic through centuries and therefore shared its wealth. After the Republic lost its significance, the residents left the Elaphiti and now only three islands are inhabited. They include Šipan, Lopud and Koločep (Kalamota) and attract numerous tourists with their beautiful scenery and sandy beaches. Šipan, the largest island of the Elafiti, is also the most distant from Dubrovnik. Tonight you will get to enjoy Captain’s dinner.

In the morning, we continue our cruise towards the Island of Korčula, best known as the birthplace of Marco Polo. Stop for lunch in one of the secluded bays en route. Afternoon arrival in Korčula followed by a guided walking tour of this enchanting town with fortified walls. On this island, you can find more legends, tales and monuments than anywhere else while you wander along the herringbone pattern streets. Korčula has an abundant choice of restaurants where you can continue your gourmet experience and there are many bars and clubs for those looking for evening entertainment. Overnight in Korčula.
