Croatia & Its Islands Small Ship Cruising on the Adriatic Coast - Reverse

Wander along medieval walls, marvel at enchanting waterfalls, and relax on sunny islands. From Dubrovnik to Zagreb, set out to experience the best of Croatia and the Adriatic Coast.

Welcome to Dubrovnik, the “Pearl of the Adriatic.” This afternoon, board a private 4-star ship and revel in all the comforts of a small cruise ship, your home for the next seven nights. As arrival times may vary, there is no scheduled sightseeing today. Relax onboard before experiencing a captain’s welcome dinner. Enjoy your meal accompanied by live Klapa music, the traditional Croatian style of singing.

This morning, take in the medieval stone walls, iconic Baroque rooftops, and winding cobblestone streets of Dubrovnik. Embrace the feeling that you’ve stepped into another time as you explore the Old City with a local guide. During this walk, be prepared to navigate stairs and trek carefully across slippery limestone pavement. With free time, perhaps you’ll visit the famous City Walls, take a cable car to the top of Mount Srd for awe-inspiring views of Dubrovnik, or simply enjoy some free time on the Stradun (main street). After your visit, sail toward Slano, taking in the breathtaking scenery of the Adriatic coastline. Upon arrival, board a coach for a scenic drive into the countryside toward the charming village of Ljubac. Here, enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring traditional Dalmatian folk entertainment, local music, and a warm, rustic atmosphere. A traditional Dalmatian dinner will be served, showcasing regional dishes prepared according to long-standing culinary traditions.

This morning, arrive in Mljet National Park. Stroll beside its two saltwater lakes, Big Lake and Small Lake, before exploring the Islet of St. Mary, home to a 12th-century Benedictine monastery. Here, be prepared for some stairs and walking on uneven ground. Then, it’s on to Korcula, the debated home of one of the world’s most famous explorers: Marco Polo. Decide for yourself if he was born in Korcula or Venice as you tour his purported home and take in the fantastic sea views. Join a local guide and make your way along the narrow stone streets while you wander among the medieval buildings and vibrant houses in the town known as “Little Dubrovnik.” Enjoy the evening at leisure to discover the charms of this age-old island town.
