  Arrive 08:00 · Depart 19:00

  - Ionian coves
Day

  Arrive 08:00 · Depart 20:00
  A Croatian port on the Dalmatian coast, built quite literally inside the walls of a Roman emperor's retirement palace. Diocletian's Palace still forms the living old town, its cellars and courtyards woven through with cafes, shops and the cathedral.

  - Riva promenade
  - Marjan Hill
Day
7
- Rovinj
  Arrive 09:00 · Depart 20:00
  A fishing town on the western coast of Croatia's Istrian peninsula, its old quarter set on a former island in the Adriatic. Pastel houses rise to the hilltop bell tower of St. Euphemia's church, while cobbled lanes and a cluster of nearby islets give it an Italianate air.

  - St. Mark's Square
  - Grand Canal
Day
9
- Koper
  Arrive 07:00 · Depart 18:00

  - Tito Square
  - Venetian old town
  - Postojna Cave
Day
10
- Hvar Island
  Arrive 09:00 · Depart 20:00

  - Lavender fields
  - Pakleni Islands
Day
11
- Dubrovnik
  Arrive 12:00 · Depart 22:00
  A walled city on Croatia's Dalmatian coast, its limestone old town wrapped in sea-facing ramparts above the Adriatic. Ships call here for the marble main street of Stradun, the circuit of the city walls and the cable car to Mount Srđ.
