In the morning, the vessel sails towards the island of Hvar, cruising along Bol on Brač Island – home to “Zlatni Rat” (the Golden Horn), considered the most beautiful beach in the Mediterranean, known for its ever-changing shape due to sea currents. En route to Hvar, a short break for swimming, cooling off, and relaxing is scheduled, weather permitting. Lunch is served on board before arrival in Hvar, a picturesque coastal town with eight centuries of architecture, popular among international celebrities. During the guided walking tour, guests will visit key landmarks such as St Stephen’s Square and Cathedral, the Arsenal with the historic theatre on its first floor – the first municipal theatre in Europe – and the hilltop Fortica fortress offering panoramic views over the bay and the Pakleni Islands. The evening is at leisure to explore and dine independently. Note: Due to limited harbour capacity in Hvar during peak season, the port of call may be substituted with Stari Grad. In such cases, transfers by bus will be arranged to and from Hvar.
