Day 1 - (Saturday) SPLIT. Day of embarkation
After your arrival into Split Airport, transfer to the port for embarkation on Lupus Mare.
Bustling and lively, the heart of Split belongs within the walls of Diocletian’s palace. It was built as a retreat for the Roman emperor, and has expanded ever since. The winding cobbled alleys, delightful architecture and narrow streets are a joy to explore, and getting lost is half the fun! A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, the palace has endless restaurants, bars and cafes, frequented by locals and tourists alike. Equally enchanting is the Riva seafront, which is the perfect location to watch the sun set across the Adriatic with a drink in hand. Embark at any time after 14:00. Over a welcome drink and a snack, meet your Cruise Director and the crew and get acquainted with the rules and safety measures. Your journey begins with dinner onboard and overnight in Split.

Day 2 - (Sunday) VIS
Among the islands of central Dalmatia, the island of Vis is the most remote from the mainland. It is this isolated location and beautiful nature that make it one of the most popular destinations on the Adriatic. Although it was a military base until the end of the 1980s, the island of Vis suddenly found worldwide fame thanks to the Hollywood hit Mamma Mia 2 and the Vis Archipelago Geopark, which is part of the UNESCO world network.

Day 3 - (Monday) KORCULA
Abundant in ancient olive groves, vineyards and traditional wineries, secluded coves, picturesque beaches as well as charming villages and towns, the Island of Korčula has one of Croatia's most romantic views with the striking Venetian architecture of Korčula Town greeting visitors as the the ferries and boats approach across the turquoise waters. Korčula was once a vital part of the Venetian empire and the city walls and towers were built to protect their prize from pirates and Turkish invaders. Korčula Town resembles a much smaller version of Dubrovnik with its fortified solid stone walls, terracotta rooftops and some fine examples of Venetian architecture. Popular attractions include St. Mark's Cathedral built in the 15th Century, Grabrielis palace home to the Town Museum, and the Marco Polo House Museum. The famed explorer is said to have been born in Korčula Town and this museum details his life and adventures.

Day 4 - (Tuesday) DUBROVNIK
The old city of Dubrovnik, sits on a peninsula below a steep rocky hillside, jutting out into the translucent blue waters of the Adriatic Sea. Dubrovnik is recognisable, even to first time visitors. Whether in film, or a breathtaking image, or maybe one’s own imagination – nothing quite captures the perfection of a walled medieval coastal city like the “Pearl of the Adriatic.” Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979, the Old city retains its artistry, and history. The city itself is an exhibit of human craftmanship where inside the walls the Rector’s Palace, the Bell Tower clock, St. Blaise’s Church, the Jewish Synagogue, the Dominican Monastery, and the oldest pharmacy in Europe all await your discovery.

Day 5 - (Wednesday) MLJET
Found on Dalmatia’s most southerly isle sits the mostly untouched and lushly covered island of Mljet. Settled off the coast of the Peljesac Peninsula, Mljet is most commonly known for its National Park which covers around one third of the island. Sparsely inhabited and virtually car-free, Mljet’s petite population really comes alive during the summer; but given that two-thirds of Mljet are covered in verdant forest, there are many tranquil spots for those seeking peace and serenity.
