Dubrovnik · Embarkation
The "Pearl of the Adriatic" is one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cityscapes and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. The mighty 13th-century city walls can be walked all the way round - offering panoramic views of the Adriatic and the Dalmatian islands.
-
Mljet
Mljet is one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic - over 70 per cent is national park, with two saltwater inland lakes and a tiny monastery island (12th century) at their centre. Legend has it that Odysseus spent seven years here with Calypso.
-
Komiza, Vis Island
Komiža on the Croatian island of Vis was once an important centre of Adriatic sardine fishing. The town with its Venetian architecture, the nearby Blue Cave (Modra špilja) on Biševo and the cave where Tito hid in 1944 is authentic Dalmatia.
-
Vis, Vis Island
Vis is the most remote of the larger Dalmatian islands (60 km off the coast). A military restricted zone until 1989, the island is today an untouched insider tip - the Blue Cave on Biševo, Tito's wartime hideout and the fishing village of Komiža define Vis.
-
Stari Grad, Hvar Island
Stari Grad lies on the Croatian island of Hvar and is one of the oldest towns in Europe. It was founded by Greeks from Paros in the 4th century BC.
-
Korcula
Korčula is considered the birthplace of Marco Polo and is one of the most beautiful medieval towns on the Adriatic: Venetian palazzi, Gothic churches and towers on a small peninsula - Dubrovnik in miniature.

Le Ponant
Le Ponant is the essence of the Ponant idea: a three-masted sailing yacht for 64 guests, gliding under sail through waters closed to motorised ships. French cuisine, 32 crew, an atmosphere like a private yacht.
In the Adriatic, Le Ponant reaches the most intimate harbours of Croatia and Montenegro - anchorages where you wake as the only ship.
