On the evening of your cruise, make your way to the meeting point along Split’s waterfront promenade, known as the Riva. After meeting your guide, continue to the cruise starting point, where a karaka (carrack) replica is waiting for you.
Board the impressive wooden galleon, and find a spot on deck from which to take in views of the sea and city as the ship cuts away from the promenade, setting sail for Marjan Hill, the green soul of the city. Look on in delight as Marjan’s lofty hills give way to secluded bays with pristine sands and azure waters, where you have free time to swim or lap up the last of the day’s sun on deck after docking.
When everyone is back on board, continue your cruise to see some Split landmarks from the water. As the sun starts to set, tuck into provided snacks, and ogle the city’s premier sights, from Split Old Town and its crowning glory, Diocletian’s Palace, to the 9th-century Church of St George and Poljud Stadium. You may purchase drinks from the onboard bar, if you wish.
Capture postcard-perfect photos as the sun sinks behind the horizon, casting an otherworldly glow over the city. Your cruise then ends with return to the starting point.
