On the morning of your cruise, head to the prearranged meeting point along the Riva, Split’s pretty waterfront. After meeting your guide, continue to the cruise departure point, where a gleaming, wooden galleon — a replica of a 16th-century karaka — lies in wait.
Be welcomed aboard by the crew, and then find yourself a spot on deck from which to relax, soak up the sun and take in the sea views. Gaze out over the shimmering Adriatic Sea as your mighty ship sets sail for Šolta, an island rich in both history and beauty, making it a popular spot for Split locals looking to escape the city’s heat come summer.
Have your camera ready to capture postcard-perfect snaps of the wooded isle, and then dive off the boat into the crystalline waters, making the most of just under three hours of free time to swim and snorkel at your leisure. Then, back on board, refresh with complimentary drinks and tuck into your choice of grilled meat or fish served with salad, or fresh vegetables served with eggs and cheese.
Relax on deck and soak up the sights and sea air as you sail onward to Brač Island, famous for its white stone from which both the UNESCO-listed Diocletian’s Palace and the White House in Washington DC are made. Arrive at the picturesque bay of Bobovišca and enjoy ample free time to swim, snorkel and relax on the sands.
After a full day at sea, your cruise concludes back at the original start point.
