Two weeks gives you the freedom to reach Kornati without turning the trip into a marathon. The payoff is real: the south’s familiar charm up front, then a dramatic shift into the Šibenik archipelago and Kornati’s stark, almost sculpted landscapes.
It’s a route for guests who like unhurried days—late breakfasts, long swims, and the option to linger in a cove simply because it feels right.
Key Points
- A 14-day itinerary starting and ending in Dubrovnik.
- Highlights include Mljet National Park, Korčula, Hvar, Vis & Biševo (Blue Cave), Kornati National Park, and the Šibenik archipelago.
- Can be sailed in the reverse order depending on weather, berth availability, and your preferred rhythm.
Who is it Suitable For?
Great fit if you want range. You’ll cover a meaningful stretch of coastline while still keeping a comfortable pace.
- Guests who enjoy longer-format cruising (more water time, more quiet anchorages)
- Groups who like mixing a few town evenings with plenty of “no-plan” days on board
- Travellers who appreciate flexible routing and don’t mind the occasional longer leg when conditions are favourable
