About this trip

A short island-hopping sail along the Dalmatian coast, starting in Dubrovnik and finishing in Split, with Korcula and Hvar in between.

It's a relaxed, boat-based way to cover a lot of coastline without the logistics of ferries and buses — most days built around swimming, sunbathing and wandering old town streets.

Free time is built in throughout, so it suits you if you want a loose structure rather than a packed schedule.

What you'll do

  • Start in the walled city of Dubrovnik
  • Explore Korcula's old town
  • Spend time on Hvar
  • Swim at the secluded Pakleni Islands
  • Relax on Zlatni Rat beach
  • Finish in UNESCO-listed Split
Good to know
  • Six days covers several stops, so expect to change location every day or two
  • Plenty of unstructured free time rather than organised activities
  • Easy pace, suited to swimming and relaxing rather than heavy sightseeing

Route map for Croatia Island Express (Premium Plus)
  1. Dubrovnik — Dubrovnik

    Arrive in Dubrovnik and check in after 14:00. Explore the walled Old Town independently, walk Stradun Main Street or climb the city walls for views. Join a guided tour this afternoon, then optionally take the cable car up Srd Mountain for panoramas of the Game of Thrones filming location before a free evening.

  2. Morning free to relax onboard or revisit Dubrovnik. Cruise to either Sipan—scattered with 15th-century palaces and quiet beaches favoured by wealthy merchant families—or Trstenik, a fishing village on Pelješac Peninsula with hidden coves and waterfront bars. Swim and explore at leisure.

  3. Korcula — Sipan Island

    Sail to Korčula, Marco Polo's legendary birthplace, arriving after lunch. The preserved old town echoes Dubrovnik's walled charm with palaces and museums. Take a guided tour, optionally visit a local winery, then wander narrow streets and pick a seafront restaurant for dinner.

  4. Pakleni Islands & Hvar — Korčula

    Cruise to the Pakleni Islands—secluded, pine-forested, turquoise-watered—for lunch and swimming. Continue to Hvar, known for sunshine, lavender and wine. Join a guided tour to see the Renaissance cathedral, then spend the evening in bars or exploring freely.

  5. Brac & Split — Hvar

    Visit Zlatni Rat, Dalmatia's most famous beach near Bol on Brač Island, with time to relax and explore. Swim in a secluded bay en route to Split. Optional guided tour of Diocletian's Palace on arrival, then the final evening is yours to explore Split.

  6. Depart after breakfast. Note: 2026 cruises may use Marina Baotić in Trogir (30 minutes away) due to Split Port reconstruction; you'll be notified one month before departure of any changes.
