Day by Day
Day 1 — Šibenik → Trogir
Embarkation in Šibenik and southward to Trogir, a UNESCO World Heritage island town of Venetian palaces and narrow stone lanes. An evening stroll along the Riva, dinner ashore.
Day 2 — Trogir → Split
A short passage to Split. Spend the afternoon in Diocletian’s Palace — a living Roman quarter full of bars, markets and apartments — and dine in one of the city’s best kitchens.
Day 3 — Split → Stari Grad (Hvar)
Over to the island of Hvar, anchoring at Stari Grad — one of Europe’s oldest towns, located on a deep, quiet bay amid the UNESCO vineyards of the Stari Grad Plain. Tranquil, beautiful, exquisite.
Day 4 — Stari Grad → Hvar Town
Around the island to Hvar Town. Anchor during the day off the Pakleni Islands, where the coast’s best swimming waters beckon, and head ashore in the evening for Hvar’s famous nightlife — the promenade, the bars, the people-watching.
Day 5 — Hvar → Šibenik (via Krka)
The long passage back north, interrupted by a swimming stop, back toward Šibenik and to the mouth of the Krka. Anchor near Skradin for a quieter finale.
Day 6 — Krka National Park & Skradin
A full day for the Krka: the waterfalls of Skradinski Buk, a freshwater swim and a leisurely lunch in Skradin, before you cruise down the final miles of the estuary.
Day 7 — Šibenik
Return to Šibenik for a final evening — the Cathedral of St. James, the old town, a farewell dinner on board.
Day 8 — Šibenik
Breakfast and disembarkation.
