You fly to the spectacular city of Dubrovnik and on arrival you’ll be taken to your magnificent ship, moored in this ancient port where the warmest of welcomes from your professional captain and crew awaits you on board the brand new MV Rhapsody. The rest of the day is free for you to settle in to your cabin and explore this exceptional vessel; perhaps enjoy a cup of tea up on the sun deck, drinking in the views and the fresh sea breeze or wander ashore for a little stroll along the quayside. Whatever you decide, it’s time to relax and unwind as your holiday has truly begun! It’s not long before it’s time to meet your fellow travellers for a welcome drink in the bar before taking dinner in the relaxed yet elegant atmosphere of the ship’s restaurant.
As the sun rises above the terracotta rooftops of this magical city, and glints on the crystal-clear Adriatic, it’s time to rise refreshed and enjoy your first leisurely breakfast as we set sail on our Dalmatian adventure. Head up on deck and enjoy the thrill of being at sea, as you gaze out on to a sparkling horizon, a blanket of dazzling turquoise, stretching as far as the eye can see; lean against the gleaming rail and drink in the crisp salty air, and let your mind completely unwind as our sleek vessel effortlessly slices the effervescing waves. This is one of the most spectacular and unspoilt coastlines in the world, where velvet swathes of pine forest tumble down to the rugged rocky shores, fringed by quiet coves and sleepy fishing villages, a cluster of honey-coloured stone buildings and tiny shady streets where time seems to have almost stood still. We drop anchor to enjoy a refreshing swim stop and you’ll love the experience of swimming off the platform area the back of the ship as if it were your very own private yacht, before wrapping up in your complimentary robe and drying off on a sun lounger on the pristine sun deck! Thoughts soon turn to lunch so reconvene with your fellow passengers in the restaurant and enjoy the views through the panoramic windows as we sail towards the island of Lastovo, one of the remotest and most idyllic islands in the Adriatic. Lying at the centre of an impressive archipelago of uninhabited islets, this picturesque spot was employed as a military outpost during the second half of the twentieth century, and therefore spared the island from unchecked development; today it is a joy to wander the historic streets of this undiscovered town, truly off the tourist trail and virtually self-sufficient in food, where the people retain a strong sense of identity and independence from the rest of the country and where life goes on much as it has for centuries. You cannot fail to be enchanted and will truly feel a long way from home. We visit a little local winery, owned by the same family for several generations, to learn more about the production of their wines and enjoy a tasting. Return to the ship in time to relax over an aperitif on the terrace before the crew serves tonight’s delicious dinner.
We are delighted to celebrate a brand new addition to our fabulous fleet of luxury yacht cruisers for 2021, the MV Adriatic Sky. This elegant vessel is equipped with the latest safety features and boasts a sleek and sophisticated design across all of its impressive 50 metres, guaranteed to make quite an impression as you arrive at the quaint ports along this truly awe-inspiring coastline.
As you step on board, there’s an instant feeling of grandeur. With a maximum of 38 guests on board, your dedicated crew will be at your service throughout. Enjoy the spacious and stylish sun deck, discover a secluded spot to read a book, enjoy a relaxing dip in the hot tub or sit back, relax and unwind with a cool refreshing drink from the bar as you enjoy unimpeded panoramic views of the unspoilt landscapes of the Adriatic coastline. There’s chance to keep up your fitness routine in the on-board gym area or enjoy a quick dip from the swimming platform in one of the secluded bays’ crystal clear waters.
Enjoy the fabulous dining experience in the sleek and serene restaurant, sampling the exquisite cuisine served to you by your ever attentive and friendly crew. And, in the evening, once you’ve enjoyed your meal, you can appreciate the sea breeze from the atmospheric outside terrace area with a night cap.
