You’ll touch down at Split airport, Croatia’s second-largest city, and be transferred to Trogir port. From here, you’ll board your home on the water for the next few nights, the MS Adriatica. Compact and ideal for traversing the country’s idyllic coastline, these vessels of 18 well-equipped and comfortable cabins encompasses a modern and elegant design with three decks, a restaurant, and a bar.

Settle into your cabin and join the other travellers for a welcome reception in the evening, followed by dinner.

Enjoy your first breakfast on board as the vessel travels to Bol on Brač Island, with one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean, Zlatni Rat (the Golden Horn). This stretch of smooth white pebbles is constantly shaped by the wind and ocean currents. Weather permitting, you can take a dip in its surrounding crystal-clear waters before lunch is served back on the deck.

The vessel will then continue to the port of Hvar Island, a popular summer resort enclosed by 13th-century walls and sprawling lavender fields. A walking tour will reveal Hvar’s main sights, such as the old town’s main square, St Stephen’s Square, Hvar Cathedral with its bell tower, and Hvar Public Theatre, one of the oldest public theatres in Europe, dating back to the 17th century. Positioned above the town is the fortress Fortica boasting panoramic views over the bay and the chain of rocky Pakleni Islands.

A free evening means you can soak up the atmospheric nightlife, from the lively bars and assortment of restaurants with terraces spilling onto the pavements.

Please note: Due to the limited capacity of the Hvar harbour (during peak season) port of call can be substituted for Stari Grad. In that case, transfer by bus will be organised to and from Hvar.

During breakfast, you can sit back and relax as the vessel ventures north to the island of Mljet, where the expansive Mljet National Park can be found. Made up of five types of forests and featuring two deep interconnected salt lakes, Veliko Jezero (Great Lake) and Malo Jezero (Small Lake), this is a natural haven for wildlife and several bird species.

Your cruise manager will take you into the heart of the park along the scenic trails to these two salt lakes, pointing out St. Mary’s Island, with its Benedictine monastery and church. You can also choose to rent bicycles, scooters, or kayaks to do some sightseeing of your own. The 3,000-year-old Odysseus Cave is worth checking out because of its connection to Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey – it’s believed to be the cave where Odysseus sought shelter.

Relax aboard the vessel this evening.

Once you’ve had breakfast, you’ll head to Dubrovnik, the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, a famous UNESCO World Heritage Site and ancient city.

On the guided tour, you’ll get to see the pedestrianised central street Stradun, running from the Pile Gate to busy Luza Square and overlooked by the carved stone façade of the impressive Sponza Palace, as well as the baroque St Blaise’s Church.

You’ll then have the opportunity to discover more highlights, like the Franciscan Monastery with Europe’s second oldest pharmacy, and the Rector’s Palace, the seat of the government in the former Dubrovnik Republic. The energetic can walk the entirety of the city walls, while others can take a seat in one of the city's many pavement cafés.

You can also take a boat ride to the nearby Lokrum Island, home to a botanical garden, a salt lake, and a historic Benedictine monastery. Alternatively, choose to travel by cable car to the summit of Mount Srđ, which overlooks the city’s red-roofed buildings and the shimmering waters below.

Choose from one of the city’s restaurants for dinner this evening as the vessel will dock here for the night.

Early this morning, you’ll journey to the island of Korčula, have breakfast and depending on the weather, a swim in one of the nearby bays. You can then lounge on the sun deck and eat lunch before docking at the harbour and visiting the walled medieval town.

Famed as the birthplace of the famous explorer, Marco Polo, Korčula will be explored on a guided walking tour, which will take you around its labyrinth of streets. Points of interest include the striking St. Mark's Cathedral, a prominent landmark with a bell tower, the Marco Polo House, a museum dedicated to the pioneer, and the 16th-century Renaissance-style Gabrielis Palace. This island is also known for its wine production, especially the white wine variety Pošip, and you’ll get to sample some of the local labels and learn about the winemaking process at a popular bar.

Another free evening allows you to survey the town at your leisure, perhaps taking a stroll along the city walls as the sun sets over the Adriatic and tasting the seafood at an open-air restaurant.

Start the day with breakfast and a morning swim in one of Brač’s coves and bays (weather permitting) followed by lunch onboard later. In the afternoon, you’ll arrive at the port town of Pučišća, on the island of Brač.

Celebrated for its white limestone architecture, Pučišća village on the island of Brač, is one of the most well-preserved coastal settlements in the Dalmatian region. Particularly famous for its centuries-old stonemasonry heritage, Brač’s local limestone is referred to as ‘Brač stone’ and has been used to build famous structures, including the White House in Washington D.C.

Choose to join an optional visit to the Stonemasonry School, one of the few stonemasonry schools in Europe. During this excursion, you can learn about how the school trains students in traditional stone-cutting techniques and watch them at work.

Perhaps have a drink at the vessel’s bar this evening and then enjoy a special Captain’s dinner with the other travellers.

Following breakfast, the vessel will make its way to the final port, Spilt, with a swim stop to cool off and lunch on board. Upon arriving at the island, you’ll go on a walking tour of the inner city, visiting Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in the world.

You’ll also get to view the central Peristyle Square with its marble colonnaded design and the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, built as the mausoleum of Emperor Diocletian and reflecting an elaborate Romanesque design. You can climb the bell tower for panoramic views over the city, too.

Lastly, set sail to the UNESCO-listed city of Trogir, often referred to as a ‘museum city’ due to its well-preserved medieval architecture. You can wander around its old town, taking in the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, Kamerlengo Fortress, and Cipiko Palace.

It’s your last evening and you can spend it on Trogir’s Riva waterfront promenade, bustling with restaurants and bars, and looking out over the Adriatic Sea. Enjoy a chilled beverage as the sun goes down followed by a dinner of local delicacies.

The majority of our tours involve a certain amount of walking, including a short walk from the coach stop to the town, attraction or venue you're visiting. If you are bringing a wheelchair, please let us know at the time of booking so that appropriate arrangements can be made.

Rules may have changed since you last travelled to European Union countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. The following are useful guidelines which will help you prepare for your next adventure. You do require government issued passport to travel.

Names - It is very important that all passenger names are exactly as per your passport although we do not require middle names.

Passport - Your passport must meet two requirements to travel to an EU country and to Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. It must be: Less than 10 years old on the day you arrive (please check the "date of issue") and valid for at least 3 months after the day you return home (please check the "expiry date").

Visa - You do not need a visa for short trips to most EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. You’ll be able to stay for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period.

The EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) became fully operational at all EU borders on 10 April 2026.

EES is a digital border management system for registering non-EU nationals travelling for a short stay across the external borders of most European countries. It replaces passport stamping. When you go through passport control on arrival, as well as producing your passport for checking, you will have your photograph taken and fingerprints scanned. The system registers your entry and exit, and you will only need to complete this biometric registration on your first entry into Europe.

Please note: Irish passport holders or British Passport holders with an EU residency are currently excluded.

For those travelling via Eurostar, there is a dual British and French/Belgian border in operation at St Pancras International. Therefore the EES system will be in place at the station, you will not need to be checked again on arrival at the other side.

The latest information can be found at https://travel-europe.europa.eu/ees.

For further information please visit the ABTA website.

Following the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, changes have been planned which affect the eligibility of citizens of the United Kingdom to have visa free travel to the EU. ETIAS travel authorisation is a new entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals travelling to any of the European Union and Schengen countries.

ETIAS is expected to launch in the last quarter of 2026 (exact date to be confirmed). We recommend applying in good time once the system goes live. ETIAS is expected to cost €20 per person. If you are aged under 18 or over 70, the fee is waived. Please note: ETIAS will not be required for UK citizens travelling on our UK and Ireland tours.

The latest information can be found at www.etias.com.

Newmarket Holidays will not be able to undertake ETIAS applications on your behalf, so have instead instructed the services of the Travel Visa Company to provide help, should you need it. You can find more information about this service at https://thetravelvisacompany.co.uk/newmarket-holidays/?sup=NMH

All mandatory local taxes and charges are included in the price of your holiday as per the itinerary. Prices for any optional excursions are listed separately. Any suggested free-time activities, attractions, meals or entertainment are not included (unless otherwise stated), and may be subject to local charges.
