8 DAY | Croatian Riviera
This tour visits: Croatia
Ready for an incredible, can’t-stop-reminiscing-about-it week
cruising Croatia’s incomparable islands? Yeah, we thought so. Do
yourself a favour and go where the calm seas gently lap at the
picturesque islands of the Dalmatian coast; where the food is as
abundant as the sunshine; where your most memorable night out
is in the depths of a beachside grotto, and where dressing like a
pirate is totally the norm. The only problem is, you’ll never want to
leave. #LifeChanged

Trip Itinerary
Day 1 - Split, Croatia to Milna
Swap some cash for kuna (not the furry kind), put your bags on your bunk and hit the big blue. Dock at sleepy fishing village ilna, chow down
on a barbecue feast or hang out on deck. You’ll all be shipmates in no time.
Meals:
-Lunch
Optional activities:
-Wine tasting
Day 2 - Milna to Hvar
Anchors up and motor on this morning, with a few swim stops en route. First stop: Hvar, which is the self-proclaimed “sunniest spot in
Europe” with a supposed 2,715 hours of sunlight in an average year. Lather up the sunscreen – ain’t nobody got time for burn when we have
a night out at Hula Hula beach bar to enjoy.
Included today:
-Night out in Hvar
Meals:
-Breakfast
-Lunch
Optional activities:
-Visit to Hvar Fortress
Day 3 - Hvar to Korcula
Marco...Polo. A game of particular relevance in this mini Dubrovnik. Get your bearings of the fish shaped street plan, and then brave the
steep ladder at the 15th century tower-cum-cocktail bar for drinks with a view.
Included today:
-Visit old town of Korcula
Meals:
-Breakfast
-Lunch
Day 4 - Korcula to Dubrovnik
Today: Dubrovnik. Beyoncé and Jay-Z fell crazy in love with it, some old guy called it ‘heaven on earth’ and if you’re into Game of Thrones
you're sure to find your inner fanboy. Soak it all up with a stroll along the top of the 1,940 metre long city walls.
Meals:
-Breakfast
-Lunch
Optional activities:
-Kayaking in Dubrovnik
Day 5 - Dubrovnik to Mljet
If you had 99 problems, Dubrovnik probably took care of a few. It's onto Mljet which, despite its lack of vowels is pretty spesh. With a
National Park and the chance to visit St Mary's island this place is sure to impress. This afternoon is on your watch, so spend it as you wish.
Meals:
-Breakfast
-Lunch
Optional activities:
-Visit Mljet National Park
Day 6 - Mljet to Makarska
Time to trim the sails again and set course for the Makarska Riviera, one of the best unsung holiday spots in Europe. Check out the town and
then brace yourself for tonight's party at the infamous grotto club, Deep. Caves never seemed so cool.
Meals:
-Breakfast
-Lunch
-Dinner
Day 7 - Makarska to Split
Seize the chance to zipline across the Cetina Gorge before we sail back to Split for more awesomeness. Yes, it's a UNESCO World Heritage
city, and yes it has an abundance of Roman architecture. Finish off your day behind the 1700-year-old walls of the Diocletian Palace. If it's
good enough for an emperor, odds are you'll rate it too.
Meals:
-Breakfast
-Lunch
Optional activities:
-Ziplining
-River rafting
Day 8 - Split
Anchors down for a final breakfast. Swap contact details with new mates and start planning your next adventure.

Please note this itinerary is subject to change due to weather and mooring conditions
Accommodation
We use a fleet of both ‘A Category’ and ‘A + Category’ boats during the summer, which all feature en suites in the cabins. The cabins are
generally quite small as there is limited space on the boat so please pack light. We suggest you bring a small bag rather than a large suitcase
as many of the boats do not have adequate space to accommodate these.
If you are a solo traveller, you will always be sharing a twin room with someone of the same sex.
A CATEGORY
None of the cabins have air-conditioning but most have air-conditioning units in the hallway, which may be put on for some time during the
night. Cabins are either ‘below deck’ or ‘on deck’. If you are in an ‘on deck’ cabin you may be on the main deck or on the top deck.
A+ CATEGORY
On A+ boats you will experience a few more creature comforts with air conditioned cabins, a full English buffet breakfast, some included
water, daily fresh fruit and included linen and towels.
Optional Activities
On all trips we have arranged extra activities that we think will enhance your travel experience, but you have a choice as to whether or not
you will participate. These are not included in the cost of your trip. They are usually organised on a group participation basis and should be
taken into consideration when budgeting your spending money.
None of the Optional Activities on your trip are operated by Topdeck, nor do they form part of your contract with Topdeck for your trip.
Topdeck arranges the activity as an agent of the local supplier. Should you participate in any Optional Activities your contract will be with the
local supplier and their conditions will apply.
Please note: while we make every effort to keep these prices as accurate and up-to-date as possible, they are subject to change and in rare
circumstances the actual price may vary slightly to what is published here.
Croatia - Mjlet
Mjlet National Park €10-€20 or 75-150 kuna (depending on season)
Croatia - Split
Ziplining €55 or 420 kuna
River Rafting €34 or 260 kuna
Meals
On your trip all breakfasts and lunches are included on the boat (except breakfast on the first day and lunch on the last day). However, no
evening meals are included as you are free to go and explore each port/ town you dock in. There will be some optional meals offered on the
boat.
Please note: You are not permitted to take any drinks on the boat with you. They must all be purchased on board (excluding drinking water).
There is an optional €20 per week you can pay locally for a daily drinking water supply.
If you have any dietary requirements we will make every effort to cater to your specific needs as long as you advise your travel agent or
Topdeck Trip Consultant when you book. Please be aware that it may not be possible to cater for every single dietary requirement, but we
will always try our best to arrange it. However, we cannot cater for tastes or dislikes.
No Tip Necessary
Your Topdeck crew never expect tips themselves and will not ask for any; that’s not what friends do! We also know how much tipping can
cost you. So go ahead, spoil yourself with the money you will save by travelling with Topdeck (just don’t forget Mum’s souvenir).
