18th18 | OctOct | 202525 | Dubrovnik, Croatia, embark on the MV Lady Eleganza | ||||
Nothing can prepare you for your first sight of Dubrovnik. Lying 216 km (135 miles) southeast of Split and commanding a jaw-dropping coastal location, it is one of the world's most beautiful fortified cities. Its massive stone ramparts and fortress towers curve around a tiny harbor, enclosing graduated ridges of sun-bleached orange-tiled roofs, copper domes, and elegant bell towers. Your imagination will run wild picturing what it looked like seven centuries ago when the walls were built, without any suburbs or highways around it, just this magnificent stone city rising out of the sea.In the 7th century AD, residents of the Roman city Epidaurum (now Cavtat) fled the Avars and Slavs of the north and founded a new settlement on a small rocky island, which they named Laus, and later Ragusa. On the mainland hillside opposite the island, the Slav settlement called Dubrovnik grew up. In the 12th century the narrow channel separating the two settlements was filled in (now the main street through the Old Town, called Stradun), and Ragusa and Dubrovnik became one. The city was surrounded by defensive walls during the 13th century, and these were reinforced with towers and bastions in the late 15th century.From 1358 to 1808 the city thrived as a powerful and remarkably sophisticated independent republic, reaching its golden age during the 16th century. In 1667 many of its splendid Gothic and Renaissance buildings were destroyed by an earthquake. The defensive walls survived the disaster, and the city was rebuilt in baroque style.Dubrovnik lost its independence to Napoléon in 1808, and in 1815 passed to Austria-Hungary. During the 20th century, as part of Yugoslavia, the city became a popular tourist destination, and in 1979 it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During the war for independence, it came under heavy siege. Thanks to careful restoration, few traces of damage remain; however, there are maps inside the Pile and Ploče Gates illustrating the points around the city where damage was done. It’s only when you experience Dubrovnik yourself that you can understand what a treasure the world nearly lost Fly from the UK and on arrival, be transferred to your luxury ship, the MV Lady Eleganza. Enjoy free time before settling into your cabin followed by dinner on board. | |||||||

It’s only when you experience Dubrovnik yourself that you can understand what a treasure the world nearly lost Spend the morning on a guided tour of Dubrovnik’s World Heritage-listed Old Town, a fairy-tale world of palaces, monasteries and churches enclosed within the spectacular medieval city walls. | |||||||
20th20 | OctOct | 202525 | Sipan Island, Croatia | ||||
Lush, relaxed island resort with beaches, water sports, wine-making, bike rentals & hotels. Arrive in Korcula, the birthplace of Marco Polo. Here, stroll along medieval streets which are flanked by palaces, and take in a special Signature Experience. Your yacht will dock here overnight. | |||||||
21st21 | OctOct | 202525 | Hvar Island, Croatia | ||||
The Croatian island of Hvar bills itself as the "sunniest island in the Adriatic." Not only does it have the figures to back up this claim—an annual average of 2,724 hours of sunshine—but it also makes visitors a sporting proposition, offering them a money-back guarantee if there are seven consecutive days of snow (snow has been known to fall here; the last time being February 2012). On arrival in Hvar, take a short coach ride across the island to the stunning Old Town for a guided walk. Start in the iconic main square, the largest piazza in Dalmatia, then see the cathedral and the Franciscan Monastery. Continue to the Benedictine Convent, where you’ll hear about the aloe lace still produced by the nuns. Experience life like the locals and visit a lively restaurant or tavern on shore for dinner. | |||||||
22nd22 | OctOct | 202525 | Brač Island, Croatia | ||||
Sail in the morning to the lovely island of Brac. Your destination is Bol, whose main claim to fame is the astonishing Zlatni Rat or ‘Golden Cape’, a beach comprised of tiny white pebbles that appear to thrust itself into the turquoise sea like a spearhead; its shape-changing according to the vagaries of the wind and waves. Explore the town, which is notable for its 15th-century Dominican monastery and museum. | |||||||
23rd23 | OctOct | 202525 | Split, Croatia | ||||
Split's ancient core is so spectacular and unusual that a visit is more than worth your time. The heart of the city lies within the walls of Roman emperor Diocletian's retirement palace, which was built in the 3rd century AD. Diocletian, born in the nearby Roman settlement of Salona in AD 245, achieved a brilliant career as a soldier and became emperor at the age of 40. In 295 he ordered this vast palace to be built in his native Dalmatia, and when it was completed he stepped down from the throne and retired to his beloved homeland. Upon his death, he was laid to rest in an octagonal mausoleum, around which Split's magnificent cathedral was built.In 615, when Salona was sacked by barbarian tribes, those fortunate enough to escape found refuge within the stout palace walls and divided up the vast imperial apartments into more modest living quarters. Thus, the palace developed into an urban center, and by the 11th century the settlement had expanded beyond the ancient walls.Under the rule of Venice (1420–1797), Split—as a gateway to the Balkan interior—became one of the Adriatic's main trading ports, and the city's splendid Renaissance palaces bear witness to the affluence of those times. When the Habsburgs took control during the 19th century, an overland connection to Central Europe was established by the construction of the Split–Zagreb–Vienna railway line.After World War II, the Tito years saw a period of rapid urban expansion: industrialization accelerated and the suburbs extended to accommodate high-rise apartment blocks. Today the historic center of Split is included on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites. Arrive in Split today and set out on a guided walk through the town, exploring the Palace of Diocletian located next to the picturesque Riva Promenade. Tonight, enjoy a farewell dinner on board the MV Lady Eleganza. | |||||||
