Day 5: Vis, Croatia to Hvar, Croatia
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.

Inclusions: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 6: Hvar, Croatia
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.
Inclusions: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 7: Korcula, Croatia to Dubrovnik, Croatia
The sixth-largest island in the Adriatic, Korcula, is among the most beloved in Croatia.

You will sail to Dubrovnik later in the day.
Inclusions: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
