• Swimming stops
• Optional lunch or drinks in the Pakleni Islands

Hvar Wine & Countryside Experience

The island has a long history of winemaking alongside olive oil, rosemary, lavender and honey production, and an inland excursion gives guests a very different view of Hvar from the waterfront.

Experience can include:

• Guided wine tasting
• Local olive oil and produce
• Countryside viewpoints
• Time in one of Hvar’s traditional inland villages

More information: https://visithvar.hr/

Suggested experiences:

• E-bike or cycling route
• Private island sightseeing tour
• Vineyard and countryside stops
• Komiža exploration
• Swimming at one of Vis’s secluded bays
• Sunset drinks before returning to the cruiser

• Private cycling guide
• Vineyard and countryside routes
• Coastal viewpoints
• Optional winery stop

More information: https://visitkorcula.eu/

• Visit to St Mary’s Islet
• Swimming

Premium Water-Sports Package

Selected vessels can be paired with additional water-sports equipment or specialist local providers. The exact activities depend on the chosen cruiser, anchorage and local operating restrictions.

Possible additions include:

• Jet skis where permitted
• Seabobs
• Water skis
• Wakeboards
• Additional SUPs
• Sea kayaks
• Towable equipment
• Private water-sports instructor

This option should be confirmed once the final vessel is selected, as onboard toy inventory differs between gulets, mini-cruisers and private cruiser yachts.

Extend Your Stay

These extensions add additional nights before or after the core 8-day cruiser itinerary. They are designed for guests who want to experience more of Croatia without making the island-hopping route itself overly busy.

Split Extra Nights

Recommended Extension: 1–3 Nights Before the Cruise

Split is the most natural pre-cruise extension because guests are already arriving through Split Airport before boarding in Trogir. An additional stay gives guests time to recover from international travel and explore Split properly before beginning the cruise.

Things to do:

• Explore Diocletian’s Palace with a private guide
• Walk through Split Old Town and the Riva waterfront
• Visit the underground cellars of the palace
• Walk or cycle around Marjan Hill
• Relax at one of Split’s beaches
• Private Croatian food and market tour
• Dalmatian wine tasting
• Enjoy Split’s restaurants and evening atmosphere
• Take a day trip to Krka National Park for waterfalls, riverside walking trails and time around Skradin. This can be taken as a day trip from Split or expanded into the separate Krka & Šibenik extension below.
• Spend an afternoon or evening at Žnjan Beach, combining beach time with waterfront bars, beach clubs and a livelier summer atmosphere.
• Visit Klis Fortress above Split for panoramic views and a deeper look at Dalmatia’s defensive history.
• Explore Trogir Old Town on a privately guided half-day trip through its historic stone streets and waterfront.
• Visit the Underwater Museum Croatia by boat from Split, with the shallow underwater installations accessible to snorkellers and divers; a private visit can be arranged for the group.

Plitvice Lakes National Park Extension

Recommended Extension: 1–2 Nights

Add an inland nature experience before beginning the cruise. Plitvice Lakes provides one of the strongest contrasts to the Dalmatian island programme—forests, freshwater lakes, waterfalls and mountain landscapes rather than coast and open sea.

Suggested programme:

• Private transfer from Split towards Plitvice
• Check in to the selected nature resort
• Countryside lunch
• Relaxation or light forest walk
• Full privately guided Plitvice Lakes experience
• Upper and Lower Lakes

Krka National Park & Šibenik Extension

Recommended Extension: 1–2 Nights Before the Cruise

Guests can spend one or two nights in the Šibenik region before continuing to Split/Trogir for embarkation. This is particularly well suited to travellers wanting another nature experience without travelling as far inland as Plitvice.

Suggested experiences:

• Explore Skradinski Buk
• Follow the boardwalks and walking trails
• Visit Roški Slap
• Explore the wider Krka river landscape
• Visit the historic town of Skradin
• Spend an afternoon or evening in Šibenik

Dubrovnik Extra Nights

Recommended Extension: 1–3 Nights After the Cruise

Because the cruiser finishes in Dubrovnik, this is the easiest post-cruise extension. Rather than disembarking and immediately travelling to the airport, guests can stay longer and experience Dubrovnik at a slower pace.

Things to do:

• Walk the full Dubrovnik city walls
• Visit Fort Lovrijenac
• Ride the cable car to Mount Srđ
• Visit Rector’s Palace
• Take a boat to Lokrum Island
• Explore the beaches outside the Old Town
• Private Dubrovnik food or wine experience
• Spend a day in the Konavle countryside
• Private Elaphiti Islands boat trip
