3
Ljubljana, Lake Bled
Travel from Ljubljana to Lake Bled, stopping in Radovljica for an Insider Experience and lunch. Continue to Bled for a guided walk along the lakeshore, taking in the alpine scenery and iconic island church, before boarding a traditional pletna boat to the islet, where you’ll have free time to explore.

Discover Slovenia’s sweet heritage in a hands-on lectar workshop, crafting beautifully decorated honeybread in the old-world style.
4
Bohinj, Lake Bled
This morning, experience the serene beauty of Lake Bohinj before ascending by cable car to Mount Vogel in the Julian Alps for breathtaking alpine views. Enjoy lunch at a cosy mountain restaurant surrounded by Slovenia’s stunning scenery, then return to Bled to spend the remainder of the day at leisure.
5
Lake Bled, Postojna, Rovinj
Depart Bled this morning and travel south to visit the remarkable Postojna Cave, one of Slovenia’s most impressive natural wonders. After exploring the cave, enjoy free time to relax or have lunch before continuing your scenic drive into Croatia. Arrive in the charming coastal town of Rovinj in the late afternoon, settle into your hotel, and dine at a local restaurant this evening.
6
Rovinj, Buzet, Pula
Today, enjoy two memorable Insider Experiences celebrating the flavours of Istria. This evening is at leisure to relax and explore the historic town of Pula.
Insider Experience – Truffle Hunting
Venture into the forests near Buzet for a truffle-hunting adventure, where expert handlers and their trained dogs demonstrate how these prized delicacies are found. Afterwards, savour a tasting showcasing the rich aromas and flavours of freshly unearthed truffles.
Insider Experience – Istrian Wine Tasting
Continue your culinary journey with a tasting at a local Istrian winery, sampling regional varietals while learning about the traditions and techniques behind the area’s celebrated wines.
7
Pula
Discover the rich history of Pula on a guided walking tour with a local expert, including entry to the iconic Pula Arena, a Roman amphitheatre built between 27 BC and AD 68 . Enjoy a free afternoon to explore at your own pace before savouring dinner at a traditional local restaurant.
8
Pula, Opatija
Depart Pula and journey to Opatija to join your coastal cruise along the Croatian coast.
9
Opatija, Krk, Rab
Enjoy some free time in Opatija before you set sail and drop anchor off the stunning island of Krk, where you can take a refreshing swim in the Adriatic. After a leisurely lunch on board and a relaxed afternoon of sailing, your ship will arrive at the island of Rab. The evening is yours to explore the charming Old Town of Rab, a beautifully preserved late medieval settlement nestled on a slender peninsula. Stroll along the white-washed harbour foreshore at your own pace, and perhaps indulge in a meal at a local restaurant overlooking the lively port marina.
10
Rab, Pag, Zadar
This morning, your ship drops anchor near the island of Pag, where you may like to enjoy a swim (weather permitting). Later, arrive in Zadar and set out on a guided walking tour through the atmospheric Old Town. Admire Roman columns and gateways, beautiful churches, baroque palaces and Renaissance buildings. The tour concludes at the Sea Organ, an architectural sound installation powered by sea waves and tubes beneath the marble steps. Nearby, the Sun Salutation — a circle of multi-layered glass panels — absorbs solar energy by day and creates a waterfront light display at sunset. Both were designed by Croatian architect Nikola Bašić. Return to your ship for dinner this evening.
11
Šibenik, Krka National Park
Šibenik is known as the gateway to the magical Krka National Park, and today you will spend the afternoon at the dramatic waterfalls this area is famous for. Afterwards, return to the MV Princess Eleganza. Your ship remains in port overnight in Šibenik. Following dinner on board your ship this evening, you may like to head into town to enjoy exploring Šibenik’s beautiful squares, as well as its narrow, winding streets.
Insider Experience – Krka National Park
Experience the natural beauty of Krka National Park. Here, explore the dramatic waterfalls, where the highlight is Skradinski Buk, a large natural pool with high waterfalls at one end and countless cascades at the other, where the rushing river forces its way through a barrier of tiny islets. Take a walk along wooden jetties and bridges to admire the falls, and the unique flora and fauna.
12
Šibenik, Split
After breakfast, enjoy a walk through the historic town of Šibenik. Wander through the well-preserved, white-walled Old Town with your guide. Arrive in Split later this afternoon and set out on a guided walk through the town, exploring the Palace of Diocletian. Your ship will moor close to town in the evening, giving you the chance to enjoy dinner in one of the many restaurants located on the picturesque Riva Promenade.
13
Vis, Korčula
On arrival at the Croatian island of Vis, disembark to explore this remote and largely untouched natural beauty during a scenic drive around the island. Return to the ship for lunch before sailing to Korčula. Join a local guide to explore the city’s maze of cobblestone medieval streets and elegant squares, flanked by palaces of the old nobility. This Old Town may not be as well-known as Dubrovnik, but this destination is every bit as rewarding for those lucky enough to visit. Your ship moors near to the town overnight, meaning you can enjoy dinner in one of the local restaurants.
14
Korčula, Badija, Dubrovnik
Stop at the idyllic island of Badija for a swim in the warm azure waters of the Adriatic Sea before continuing to Dubrovnik. Spend the afternoon on a guided walk through the unrivalled ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, the medieval Old Town of Dubrovnik. A guided tour of Dubrovnik’s World Heritage-listed fortress begins at the impressive Pile Gate, which has stood guard at the entry of this unique walled city for centuries. Within the ancient fortifications, wander through narrow limestone alleys and marble paved boulevards to see the grand Gothic-Renaissance Rector’s Palace, the Dominican and Franciscan Monasteries, and the inspiring Sponza Palace before returning to your ship later this evening for a Farewell Dinner on board.
15
Disembark Ship, Depart Dubrovnik
Your journey draws to its conclusion after breakfast this morning with a transfer to the airport.
