7-Night Independent Adriatic Cruise from Split: Hvar, Korcula, Dubrovnik, Elaphiti Islands, Mljet and Slano

Your 7-night Croatia tour takes place on the MS Adriatic Princess, equipped with 18 cabins on the main and lower deck, all fully air-conditioned.
Start with an airport transfer from Split Airport to the port in time to board your boat in the early afternoon. Alternatively, if you are already in the city you can opt for a hotel-to-port transfer. Meet your host on board to hear a detailed breakdown of the itinerary throughout your cruise.
Enjoy half-board catering in your cruise, with breakfasts and lunches (except on day 5 when you will be served breakfast and dinner). How you spend the rest of your time on your cruise is up to you.
