Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Sunday - Aug 14, 2022
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Dubrovnik, Croatia   Depart: 11:00 pm
Emblem of the Dalmatian coast, Dubrovnik is magnificently positioned on a rocky spur. History is sovereign here, in this ancient city, now a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will perhaps be surprised by the proportions of La Placa, the central drag through the city. The sheer width of it can be explained by the fact that it straddles a former lagoon. The elegant houses along La Placa are built in the legendary travertine stone. At Pile Gate, you will be greeted by the statue of the patron saint of Dubrovnik, and you can admire the coastline as you walk along the ramparts. But what's inside Saint John Fortress, adjoining the outer walls? A maritime museum and an aquarium featuring rare fish from the Adriatic.
Day 2 - Monday - Aug 15, 2022
Cruising the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro
Cruising the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro    
Aboard Le Ponant, you will cleave through the foam and enter the sumptuous Bay of Kotor, as the sea air leaves you with an unequaled feeling of exhilaration. The views, from your majestic yacht, are on a par with the spectacle that unfolds before your eyes. While you sail through the successive parts of this magnificent bay, the monumental limestone mountains are reflected in the deep-green waters. You may well feel a sense of humility before the natural splendor of the site. You will approach Sveti Dorde (Saint George), a charming Benedictine monastery sat on a rocky islet, before heading back out to sea.
Dubrovnik, Croatia    
As the sun fades, Le Ponant will drop anchor near the old town of Dubrovnik. Aboard a Zodiac, you will reach the medieval city and enjoy the outstanding panorama over the white-stone town, at the time when the evening light reflects its warm tonalities on the tiled roofs. Enjoy this unique moment and stroll along the ramparts where some of the evening's visitors will still be walking. Take the time to lose yourself in this magnificent historical center and discover charming boutiques as you wander through the small streets. Perhaps you would also like to make the most of an paid experience in a horse-drawn carriage in the winemaking region of Konavle, followed by a picturesque dinner on the banks of a river.
Day 3 - Tuesday - Aug 16, 2022
Miljet, Croatia    
Le Ponant will drop anchor near Mljet, an island of rare beauty, renowned for its national park and its protected forests. Let yourself be tempted by a morning swim in the sea pool set up near the marina platform. You can also take a Zodiac to a magnificent deserted beach, where you will enjoy a delicious morning of swimming, between fine sand and crystal-clear waters, and explore the surroundings, depending on your preferences, by snorkeling, paddle boarding, or kayaking.
Korcula, Croatia    
Korcula will unveil itself in the softness of the evening, a superb medieval town whose fortifications have stunning views over the Peljesac peninsula. Take the time to lose yourself in its small pedestrian streets and admire its historical monuments, such as the Revelin Tower or the Cathedral of St. Mark. Allow yourself to be caught up by emotions during a private performance of Moreska, a spectacular traditional sword dance, which originates in Korcula. As an option, you can make the most of an immersive culinary experience to meet a beekeeper and enjoy a Croatian meal composed of dishes made by a family of farmers focused on environmentally responsible and conscious production.
Day 4 - Wednesday - Aug 17, 2022
Komiza, Vis, Croatia
Komiza, Vis, Croatia    
You will approach Vis, a little and little-known island ignored by cruise itineraries. With your yacht at anchor, you will disembark by Zodiac in Komiza, the oldest fishing port in the Adriatic, to spend a pleasant moment in a charming setting. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, you will set off on foot or by bike to explore the port, its old fishermen's houses in cut stone, its small market stalls or cafe terraces, and get a taste of the gentle way of life that reigns here. The ballet of the fishing boats is a reminder of the city's essential activity and its strong connection to the sea. A few minutes from there, let yourself be tempted by a dip next to a pretty pebble beach. Opposite the turquoise water stands Our Lady of Pirates, a stunning church that shelters the oldest organ in Dalmatia. You can also enjoy an paid experience, such as diving near the shipwrecks from the Second World War or visiting the island in a 4x4 vehicle up to Vis, discovering its singular history.
Vis, Croatia    
While Le Ponant sails, a guide-lecturer will recount the island's rich and eventful history, particularly during the Second World War. Your yacht will moor sheltered in the magnificent bay of the port of Vis. In the sea pool set up near the marina platform, you will enjoy a moment of surreal swimming. You can disembark by Zodiac to the port and discover the beauty of this preserved haven, which has been timidly open to tourism since 1990, after Croatia gained its independence. Fall under the spell of its historical heritage, which includes Roman ruins and Venetian architecture. Simplicity and authenticity are the watchwords of this rural territory, which is geared towards organic agriculture as well as responsible viticulture and fishing.
Day 5 - Thursday - Aug 18, 2022
Stari Grad, Hvar, Croatia
Stari Grad, Hvar, Croatia    
You will sail towards the popular island of Hvar, for a day in Stari Grad, an intimate port of call that is off the beaten track. Let your feelings guide you and discover this pretty city located at the end of a fertile plain, planted with vines and olive groves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The organization of its parcels, marked out by dry stone walls that punctuate the landscape, goes back to ancient times. Wander around the small streets at your leisure on foot or by bike, discovering the town's pretty boutiques and gourmet restaurants. There will be the possibility of a refreshing dip in the clear waters of a rocky cove offering shade. This marvellous day will end with a private concert of traditional Croatian a cappella singing, known as klapa, given by an internationally-renowned group in the inner courtyard of a palace. You can make the most of an paid experience into the Stari Grad valley to have lunch in an organic agriculture farm and taste typical Dalmatian dishes.
Day 6 - Friday - Aug 19, 2022
Pucisca, Brac, Croatia
Pucisca, Brac, Croatia    
The stunning port of Pucisca, located on the northern coast of the island of Brac, appears at the end of a deep fjord. Le Ponant will drop anchor in the bay, and the sea pool will invite you for a delicious dip. An adapted all-terrain vehicle awaits you on shore for a morning spent exploring the island and its cultural riches. In the cradle of an ancestral stone-cutting tradition, there will be a fine encounter with a craftsman and renowned artist, Josip Radic, who makes reduced-scale models of religious buildings out of stone. You will take small roads and isolated paths through vines, and enjoy exceptional natural panoramas, such as the steep hillsides finishing their trajectory down on the shores of the Adriatic. In the pretty town of Bol, you will stop in a renowned winemaking cooperative and enjoy a delicious tasting of the local wines, another of the island's treasures, discovering the indigenous grape varieties.
Day 7 - Saturday - Aug 20, 2022
Sipan, Elaphiti Islands, Croatia
Sipan, Elaphiti Islands, Croatia    
You will discover Sipan, a discreet island in the Elaphites archipelago and a picturesque fishing port where time seems to stand still. Let yourself fall under the spell of this naturally wooded beautiful oasis and its sun-soaked hillsides. Nicknamed the "golden island" for its fertile land, it is covered in vines as well as olive, almond, lemon, and orange trees. In this authentic natural setting, you will enjoy the charm of one its beaches, sheltered from the world, for a moment of swimming, paddle boarding, or kayaking, whatever takes your fancy.
Elaphiti Islands, Croatia    
A fine stopover awaits you in Lopud, the second-largest island of the Elaphites archipelago, located off the coast of Dubrovnik. In the dazzling afternoon light, what is known as the "island in the middle" will offer you a gentle interlude. You will find the small streets of its port perfect for wandering around while the gourmet essences of fig, almond, orange, and lemon trees will awaken your senses. Here, the soul of Croatia is unveiled. Early in the evening, when the last walkers have left the island, Lopud can be rediscovered in the light of the setting sun. The restaurants on the seafront will welcome you for dinner with a view, as the sun and the Adriatic come together to compose a charming sunset.
Day 8 - Sunday - Aug 21, 2022
