Croatia's Dalmatian Coast has become the paradise destination of choice for savvy world travelers drawn to the sun-kissed oasis of secluded islands, enthralling history, and fresh cuisine. The best way to discover it for yourself is by sea.
We suggest an island-hopping cruise from Maverick Adventures aboard the luxury sailing yacht Fortuna Dalmata. For eight days beginning on September 1st, you and five other couples will explore the unspoiled beaches, picturesque villages, and exciting nightlife of the many islands along the Croatian Coast. September is an ideal time to visit, with the summer crowds gone and the water still warm enough for swimming and snorkeling.

You'll embark on your adventure in the modern city of Split, the gateway to the Dalmatian Coast. Over the course of the week you'll visit the pine-covered island of Brac, famed both for its gorgeous golden beach and as the source of marble used to build The White House. Then explore the enchanting Blue Grotto of Bisevo on Vis Island, tour the beautiful cathedrals and citadels of Hvar, and go for a night swim in a nearby mini-archipelago of lavender-scented grottos. Next visit the verdant islands of Korcula, birthplace of the explorer Marco Polo, and Mljet, a seafood lover's paradise dotted with charming tavernas. The perfect end to this escape is a night in the Old Town of Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage site where history meets modern luxury.
The cost of the Croatia cruise is $4475 per person, which includes a private cabin for seven nights aboard the Fortuna Dalmata, luxury bedding, and meals prepared by the ship's expert chef.
