Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Pace the iconic limestone ramparts of Dubrovnik's UNESCO-listed Old City at first light, before the crowds arrive. A private expert guide brings centuries of Ragusan Republic history to life with stories no guidebook tells.
Sail the crystalline waters of the Elaphiti archipelago aboard a crewed private yacht, anchoring at deserted coves and the lush islands of Šipan and Lopud for a gourmet seafood lunch ashore.
Escape to Dubrovnik's lush island nature reserve just 10 minutes by boat — a private botanist guide reveals its rare endemic plants, resident peacocks, Benedictine monastery ruins, and a legendary Napoleonic fort.
Venture beyond the city into Dubrovnik's fertile hinterland for a private half-day of authentic konoba dining, local wine tasting, olive oil pressing, and a traditional Konavle embroidery demonstration in a medieval village.
Skim down the Dalmatian coast by private speedboat to the jewel-like Baroque village of Cavtat, home to Ivan Meštrović's hauntingly beautiful Račić Mausoleum — Croatia's greatest work of 20th-century sculpture.
Shop Dubrovnik's vibrant morning market with a professional chef, then retreat to a private kitchen for a hands-on masterclass in Dalmatian cuisine — peka, brodetto, and pršut — finishing with a feast of your own making.
