DUBROVNIK, CROATIA
Arrive: 0800 Tuesday, 10 July
Onboard: 1800 Friday, 13 July
Brief Overview: Across the Adriatic Sea from Italy lies the strikingly beautiful landscape of Croatia. The
natural beauty and clear water combine with
an abundance of medieval towns making
this a hallmark of the Mediterranean.
Dubrovnik itself is an enchanting pedestrian
city known for its intact city wall and towers;
historic churches and museums. Day and
overnight trips to other former Yugoslavian
territories of Montenegro, Bosnia and
Herzegovina are encouraged.
Nearby: The clear waters and abundant
marine life make snorkeling a popular
activity. The small mountain village of
Osojnik welcomes visitors with traditional
folk music and food.
Worth the drive: Mostar, the historic capitol
of Herzegovina, is nestled in the mountains
and named for the Ottoman bridge completed in 1556. After its destruction in 1993, it was rebuilt using
hand-cut stones and reopened in 2004. Medugorje, a small village, is the second largest Catholic
pilgrimage site in the world (Apparition Hill). If you prefer the water, head to the island of Korcula, the
fabled birthplace of Marco Polo. Montenegro, is one of the world’s last undiscovered secrets, highlighted in
the James Bond film, “Casino Royale.” The mountains drop into the sea at the Bay of Kotor and Budva has
inviting sandy beaches.
Overnight packages: You may want to stay overnight in Montenegro or spend a few days in the fascinating
coastal city of Split, where waterfront promenade is often called the “Riviera” of Croatia, and the ruins of
Roman emperor Diocletian’s palace provide ample opportunities to explore.

A small village located in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Medugorje is a unique
phenomenon in the modern world. It
received international attention when, in
1981, six children who were playing
together between the villages of
Medugorje and Bijakovici claimed that
an apparition of the Virgin Mary
appeared to them. As a result of their
claims, Medugorje has seen more than 20 million visitors since 1981, becoming
the second largest Catholic pilgrimage site in the world. Travel from Dubrovnik approximately 85 miles (137 kilometers) to visit
the town of Medugorje and climb the path that leads to the now-famous Apparition Hill, where the children supposedly saw
their first vision. You will also have the opportunity to attend Mass at the local church, explore the area, or enjoy lunch on your
own.
Please note: This day trip requires a manifest and for each person to carry his/her passport; therefore, participants cannot sell
or exchange tickets for this trip. For those nationalities requiring a pre-issued visa for Croatia, a multiple-entry Croatia visa is

DUB23 MOSTAR Full-Day
The historic capital of Herzegovina,
Mostar is currently Bosnia and
Herzegovina’s fifth largest city. Travel
four hours by motorcoach to reach this
captivating city nestled in a
mountainous region along the Neretva
River, across which spans the famous
Stari Most—the bridge for which the
town itself was named (Mostar means
“Keeper of the Bridge”). Designed by Ottoman architect Mimar Hayruddin, the
“Old Bridge” was originally constructed over nine years and completed in 1556. It stood for 427 years until it was destroyed
during the war in 1993. Residents, determined to replicate the original bridge as closely as possible, used 16th century
methods and cut stones by hand to reconstruct the anomalies of the original. Visit this landmark, which reopened in 2004 as
a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your guided tour will also include visits to the 350-year-old Turkish House and the Old Bazaar
Kujundziluk, the oldest part of the city, where Turkish shops are located and local artisans and vendors display their wares.
Following the tour, enjoy some free time for strolling around, browsing the many craft shops, or having lunch in one of the
picturesque local restaurants.

DUB24 MONTENEGRO DAY TRIP – GROUP A Full-Day
Montenegro is one of the world’s last
undiscovered secrets. First mentioned
by its original name, Crna Gora, in 1276,
Montenegro is believed to have earned
its name due to the dark forests that
covered Mount Lovcen, making the
mountain appear black. Such exotic
landscapes are not always distant and
unapproachable. Only a one-hour drive
from Dubrovnik, this neighboring country offers an unforgettable experience:
exceptional natural beauty combined with rich history and culture. In a land where the mountains descend almost directly into
the sea, enjoy the surreal atmosphere of Kotor Bay, situated on southern Europe’s largest fjord. The walled medieval city is a
UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the bay area was a common stop for sailors and traders of old. Then proceed toward the
mountains to Cetinje, a previous capital of Montenegro, which lies at the base of Mount Lovcen. Return to the coast to visit
Budva with its enticing combination of coveted beaches, bay islands and cultural heritage. The Old Town lies on a peninsula
crisscrossed with narrow streets containing several churches, shops, cafés and galleries.

DUB25 SPLIT 3 days/ 2 nights
The beautiful seaside city of Split is one of Croatia’s most fascinating places to visit. Beaches on the southern side of the
peninsula and the lively waterfront promenade are only part of the reason Split is a vacation destination for many Europeans.
At the city center are the impressive remains of Roman Emperor Diocletian’s vast, fortified palace built in 295. Within the
palace complex stands one of two black granite Egyptian sphinxes, dating from around 15 BCE, which originally flanked the
entrance to Diocletian’s mausoleum. Converted to a cathedral, it is one of architecture’s great ironies since Diocletian was
known primarily for his violent persecution of Christians. In addition to the palace and cathedral, you will visit Split’s
Archaeological Museum and the Meštrovic Gallery that was the home of
Croatia’s most famous 20th-century sculptor, Ivan Meštrovic (1883-1962).
This trip also includes a full-day visit to Krka Waterfalls National Park and
surrounding area. View the multitude of waterfalls and observe the numerous
lakes and deep canyons or take a swim in the pools at the lower falls. On the
islet of Visovac, visit a Franciscan monastery situated at the spot where the
Krka River widens into a lake.
Plenty of free time in the evenings and morning of day 3 for independent
pursuits. On the return trip to Dubrovnik, there will be a brief stop in Makarska
and a visit to the Seashell museum.
Notes: Bring a swimsuit.

visit the charming little town of Cavtat, once a large
Greek and later Roman colony. Destroyed by the Slavs
in the seventh century, it never regained its
importance. Today, it is a seaside resort reminding one
of the small towns on the French Riviera. You will visit
the Bigišic collection with works of art, handicrafts, and
archaeological artifacts. If you wish, climb the hill
overlooking the town (125 steps) to visit the
mausoleum of the Racic family, a masterpiece of architecture constructed in 1922 by Croatia’s
famous sculptor, Ivan Meštrovic. Lunch will be at the Konavoski Dvori restaurant, situated on the
