Croatian Islands Cruise - Mendula

Itinerary

Day 1

Fly to Dubrovnik and transfer by coach to the quayside in nearby Zaton, where you'll board Mendula.

Day 2

Sail the warm, blue waters of the Adriatic along the shores of the breathtaking Elaphite Islands - past tiny Kolocep, and neighbouring Lopud, former watering hole of Dubrovnik's nobility. Later, we'll visit the island of Mljet to stroll the hills of the National Park that surrounds two sparkling salt-water lakes.

Day 3

This morning's first call is picturesque Scedro, before Mendula sails on to nearby Hvar, one of the longest islands along the Croatian coast. After lunch on board, enjoy the included guided tour of Hvar Town, where the Venetian arsenal, tiny harbour and Cathedral are among the highlights.

Day 4

Vibrant Split welcomes us on today's included tour. Wander the Old Town, visit the palace of Roman Emperor Diocletian and browse the colourful marketplaces of Croatia's second city.

Day 5

Spend today relaxing aboard the Mendula, enjoying the sea air and late-summer sun as Mendula sails to Brac, Croatia's third largest island, with its stunning beaches, clear waters and sleepy main town, Supetar.

This evening, enjoy a Captain's Dinner on board.

Day 6

The beautiful island of Korcula, legendary birthplace of Marco Polo, welcomes us today. Step ashore to discover the island's ancient main town, where the narrow streets and restored stone buildings are sure to enchant.

Day 7

Today, Mendula returns to Zaton. Enjoy lunch on board then board our coach for a guided tour of the fascinating, walled city of Dubrovnik. See the Old Town, bustling Luza Square, and the magnificent St Blaise's Church, then explore at your leisure. Other highlights will include the Franciscan Monastery that houses Europe's oldest pharmacy, and the Rector's Palace (entrances payable locally). Stroll around the walls, choose a restaurant or cafe for dinner, then return to Zaton for your final night on board.

Day 8

After a relaxed morning we'll transfer you back to the airport to check in for your flight home. Back to top

Further Information

Transfer times

The transfer time from the airport to your ship is approximately 40 minutes.

Combining transfers

We sometimes need to combine transfers to and from your ship. We always try to keep any wait to a minimum, but you may be asked to wait at the airport for up to an hour, while other incoming flights arrive, before the transfer to your ship. Similarly, we may need to transfer you back to the airport up to three hours before your flight home departs.

Single cabins

Please note that the single cabin on the Mendula (which is located on the Main Deck) is roughly three metres by two metres, and is much smaller in size than the twin cabins. As you would expect with a cabin of this size, space is very restricted.

Changes to your itinerary

At the captain's discretion, it may be necessary to alter the order of the itinerary on your holiday.

Cabin facilities

Each cabin is provided with beach towels and complimentary toiletries.

Items not included on board

Drinks from the ship's bar and gratuities are not included in the price of your holiday.

Payments on board

Please note that credit cards cannot be used to make payments on board.

Special requirements

If you have notified us of any special requirements, please check that they have been noted and acknowledged. This is especially important with any dietary needs you may have.

Disabled access

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.

Itinerary changes

Occasionally, for operational reasons, we may have to change the order of the excursions on your holiday. The final day-by-day itinerary will be confirmed on your Final Travel Documents, which you will receive approximately three weeks prior to your departure.

Airport development fees

An Airport Development Fee has been introduced at a few UK Airports. You will be required to pay this charge at the following airports prior to checking in for your flight: Blackpool, Durham Tees Valley, Newquay and Norwich. The amount varies from airport to airport, but it is generally between £5 and £10 per person. Please visit the airport's website for further information.
