Monday. Welcome to the charming walled city of Dubrovnik! Check-in commences after 14:00. There’s free time to explore the city independently prior, stroll along Stradun Main Street or head to the top of the city walls for some great views.
This afternoon we enjoy a guided tour of the city. Following, we recommend you opt to ride the cable car to Srd Mountain where from the summit you can enjoy spectacular views of the Old Town, which starred in the hit TV show Game of Thrones (book locally). The evening is free in the city, before we set off tomorrow.

Sipan was a popular getaway for wealthy Dubrovnik families in the 15th century and there are many sprawling palaces on the island. The beaches are always quiet so it’s a fantastic place to relax and soak up some sun.
If we head to the pretty harbour town of Trstenik, then you can expect to see beautiful coves and unspoiled beaches. This quaint fishing village is located on the tip of the stunning Peljesac Peninsula and there are plenty of waterfront bars and restaurants for you to relax in. There’s time for a swim in the afternoon and we may be able to visit a local winery. Tonight, we join together for our 'Captains Dinner' with live music.
