ITINERARY

Check-In until 12:00
01:00 PM - Departure to Skradin
02:00 PM - Arrival at Skradin
Optional visit to NP Krka
Welcome dinner on board
Quaint and colorful, some places ensure the heart and Skradin is one such destination. This stashed away Croatian gem can simply be seen as a passing place for those en route to the Krka National Park, but secluded Skradin is a destination in its own right. Pastel painted homes sit pretty on the waterfront, a peaceful riverside marina, cobbled streets, and locally made wonderful wine all set a magical mise en scene for this glorious gateway town. While most will sail straight through eager to hit the bigger known attractions that populate the national park, a handful of millionaires (including Bill Gates) have taken quite the shine to Skradin. Be sure to duck into the Krka National Park where waterfalls thunder and turquoise swimming holes entice.

In the north-eastern part of Vis Island, the town of Vis is situated at the bottom of a protected bay. If you are in love with culture, tradition, mystery and the best Adriatic cuisine has to offer, you will love Vis, or Issa (as the ancient Greeks called it). One of the reasons why Vis itself is considered a wonder is that it is a place where time remains still. Vis was established by ancient Greeks in 397 B.C, but has up to this day retained the old, irresistible Mediterranean charm and life without stress and trouble. It's a top destination for yachtsmen from all over the world and you will be able to find the secrets of Vis yourself.

Walking the city walls is a must to get a feel for the place and to soak up those blue and balmy sea views. Sip a coffee on the pedestrian street of Stradun, see 16th-century paintings from Raphael in the Cathedral, and visit ancient forts and towers. Of course, for fans of the HBO hit series, a Game of Thrones themed tour is a must.

During the busy season, the influx swells slightly as visitors pass through this gateway to the Mljet National Park. A pine green strip meets dazzling blue water and a smattering of restaurants and loungers for propping up with a cocktail or two, Pomena is all birdsong, boats, and bliss. With bicycle trails passing by the national park lakes and a sheltered cove for dropping anchor, Pomena is an easy spot for rest and play.

EXPERIENCE
The start of most days onboard one of our ships is as flexible as the come. Unless you're arriving at or leaving the cruise, the day is yours for the taking, with few, if any restrictions. Every morning, there is a two hour window in which you can enjoy a rich and diverse breakfast, with a cup of coffee or tee of your choice (preferably enjoyed outside, with the blue Adriatic sprawling beneath your gaze.
Mornings are usually reserved for cruising towards our next destination, a perfect time to enjoy the sun, either on one of the deck chairs on the top deck, or in the Jacuzzi, maybe with a cocktail in hand? Remember, a ship has the ability to bend the fabric of time and space around itself, so 10 AM cocktails are not frowned upon at all, they are actually encouraged. It is your vacation, after all.
I the late morning, we usually arrive at our swim stop for the day, where we anchor, and under the watchful eyes of our crew, who ensure our health and safety, we dive in into the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic. Our experienced captains tend to take us to the cleanest and most sheltered bays, where we enjoy the calm seas and the even calmer atmosphere, where only the sound of nature and our music of choice can reach us.
As we leave our swim stop, we serve lunch and start out on the final stretch of sailing for the day. As we arrive in the port and dock, the island is yours for the taking. Whether it is the cobbled stepped streets of Korčula, white marbled steep alley of Hvar or even the pristine serenity of Mljet National park, every destination on the itinerary has its own mix of architecture, nature and local atmosphere to offer, and none disappoint.
The evening usually offers many opportunities to have fun as well. A dinner in the town, couple of drinks on the boat, paired with a conversation or a dance, can be only the start of the evening. Our boat manager will be more than happy to let you know where you can find the best nightlife experience on the town, or even some places where the vibe tends to be more on the chill side.
All in all, the day aboard Lastavica or Swallow can be as relaxing or as exciting as you make it out to be, and if it is your wish, we will be with you, every step of the way.
