Below, we will highlight the must-see attractions in each city, providing inspiration and options for travelers seeking to explore the beauty of Croatia’s coast.
Split
Located on a picturesque peninsula surrounded by the shimmering Adriatic, ancient settlements, and the gentle slopes of Kozjak and Mosor, Split is located at the historical, industrial, and geographical center of Southern Croatia. Its crown jewel is the palace of the Roman emperor Diocletian, built in the 4th century. Who would have ever guessed that it would become such an important site today, drawing visitors from around the globe? Split presents a rare convergence of Roman and Christian civilization and art. You can visit antique cellars that offer a glimpse into life in the palace in ancient times; the Cathedral, thought to be the oldest in the world, built on the remains of an early shrine; the Temple of Jupiter; and the Peristyle, the central square of the imperial complex. A pleasant stroll through the Roman streets Decumanus and Cardo to the famous Golden Gate will reveal the appearance of aristocratic palaces and medieval squares, as well as the ambiance of today’s Split, full of fine restaurants and shops. A visit to the gallery of our world-famous sculptor Ivan Mestrovic will reveal more of Split’s art, culture, and grace.
Trogir
The charming town on the western coast of Kaštela Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized as an architectural masterpiece by our ancestors. A Greek settlement named Tragurion in the 3rd century BC became an important port during Roman times, located on a small island squeezed in between the mainland and the larger island of Čiovo. Today, Trogir is connected to the mainland by a bridge. Except for the green parks, the entire island is covered with spectacular structures: faded stone houses, palaces, churches, monasteries, towers, walls, etc. The cobbled streets are narrow, and they truly give a feeling of how life might have been in ancient times. You will see the main attraction in Trogir – the Cathedral of St. Lawrence. This 13th-century structure is probably the finest example of sacred architecture in Croatia. Its unusual construction with three naves and three semi-circular apses dominates the entire town. The main portal is world-famous, carved by the local artist Radovan in the 13th century. Other fine buildings to be visited are the Town Loggia decorated with stone carvings, including one by the great Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović; the Town Hall; and the Ćipiko Palace. The whole town is an open-air museum, so just taking a stroll through its winding streets will be an unforgettable experience.
Šibenik & Krka National Park
The Krka River is one of the most amazing rivers in the Croatian karst, and two out of the seven Croatian National Parks are a gift from Krka. On its way to the sea, it forms a chain of lakes, rapids, and waterfalls.
The first stop on this excursion is Šibenik, one of the oldest and most important Croatian towns, infused with the tradition of diving, coral fishing, and fishing. The drive there affords spectacular views of the islands and islets of the Šibenik Archipelago. Streets, stairs, squares, and narrow passageways are part of the open-air International Children’s Festival, unique in the world, which takes place every summer in Šibenik. You will visit one of Dalmatia’s most valuable religious monuments, the 15th-century St. James’s Cathedral, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and other renowned attractions. After the city tour and some leisure time, you will continue through the karst hinterland of Šibenik to the famous Krka Waterfalls. In Skradin, a small town located inside Krka National Park, you will enjoy breathtaking natural beauty by small boat and visit the largest limestone bedrock in Europe – Skradinski Buk. The falls cascade over 17 natural barriers, and this permanent play of the sun and water creates an astonishing scene. There will be ample time here for exploring and taking photographs of the stunning countryside.
Hvar
Hvar is one of the sunniest and most beautiful of Croatia’s thousand-plus islands, a stunning masterpiece of nature and human creation. Situated at the crossroads of ancient nautical routes, Hvar is a cradle of history and culture. Its long coastline, mild climate, and numerous islands and islets make Hvar a true Dalmatian gem.
The town of Hvar bears the marks of centuries of human existence, but its special charm comes from the Renaissance period. Looking at Hvar from the seaside reveals the seven-hundred-year-old city walls, a promenade with palm trees, and a Venetian piazza built in the 16th century. The tour starts with a walk along stone streets to the 15th-century Franciscan Monastery where you will visit the impressive Renaissance cloister, the old refectory that today houses a collection of lace, manuscripts and books, and the church with its remarkable paintings. The guide then leads you to the main square to visit the Cathedral of St. Stephen, its treasury, and the bell tower with its distinctive Venetian mark. The next stop on your route is the Arsenal, an imposing building built in 1611. Inside, you will find Europe’s oldest community theatre established in 1612. After the guided tour, you can explore the town that has inspired many poets, writers, and painters on your own, try numerous specialties of Dalmatian cuisine, or swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Zadar
The town of Zadar is one of the oldest towns on the Dalmatian coast. It maintained its independence for a long time before the crusaders destroyed it and delivered it into the hands of the Venetian Republic. Although it was challenging to live there amid the turmoil of ever-changing domination, today we are left with an impressive Old Town, architecturally influenced by both Croatians and Venetians. We will visit the Old Town, including the Church of St. Donat, the Cathedral dedicated to St. Anastasia, and the permanent exhibition of gold and silver sacral art. We will also view the Sea Gate, Land Gate, City Wall, and the Square of Five Wells from the outside. After the walking tour of Zadar, guests will have the opportunity to explore the city on their own before returning to the ship.
Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is a stunning city with a glorious past. In the 16th century, the city developed its merchant fleet and became one of the strongest merchant city-states. The small, but powerful state called Dubrovnik Republic maintained its independence for 450 years.
Explore the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is entirely surrounded by mighty walls and fortresses that are in impeccable condition. Our walking tour takes you through the elegant main street, Stradun, revealing amazing sights such as Onofrio’s Fountains, the Franciscan monastery with the old pharmacy, Orlando’s Column, the church of St. Blaise, the town’s patron saint, the main Cathedral, and more.
Experience the history and culture of Dubrovnik’s magnificent walled city by strolling around its narrow streets on this two-hour walking tour with a local guide. Starting at Pile Gate, you’ll walk along the elegant main street and visit the city’s most important sights. The tour begins with Onofrio’s Fountain, a circular fountain connected to a spring 7.5 miles (12 km) from town via an aqueduct. Next, visit the Franciscan Monastery, home to a restored sculpture of the Pieta and a stunning cloister dating back to the 14th century. The tour continues with a visit to Dubrovnik’s Renaissance highlight, the Sponza Palace, which now houses the State Archives. Other tour highlights include Orlando’s Column, the City Bell Tower, the Rector’s Palace, and the Church of St. Blaise. The tour concludes with a visit to Dubrovnik’s baroque Cathedral of the Assumption, built in the 18th century after an earthquake destroyed the original one, located in the main square.
Pelješac Peninsula Wine Tour
Half-Day Tour – Picturesque Landscape and Wine Tasting
Viticulture and winemaking are centuries-old traditions on the Pelješac Peninsula and a source of income for most of its inhabitants. Take a scenic drive across the Pelješac Peninsula and learn about the original way of planting grapes to grow on sunny slopes of waving hills. Enjoy tasting Croatian wines produced in local wineries, as well as other delicious local products. On this journey, we will also visit The House of Wine Tradition, a charming little wine museum where you will see and learn more about the Dalmatian viticulture and winemaking tradition. Our wine tasting will take us on a long, nine-glass journey that will include some top-quality Croatian wines made from indigenous grape varieties, in particular, “plavac mali,” cultivated exclusively in this part of the Mediterranean.
Korčula
The Island of Mljet is located near the Pelješac peninsula, which is part of the southern section of the Dalmatian Coast. Known as Croatia’s greenest and one of the largest islands, Mljet harbors a diverse range of Mediterranean vegetation, Aleppo Pine forests, as well as several paved foot and bike paths, and a variety of hiking trails.
Mljet National Park comprises the top third of the island. Here, the primary natural attractions are the two saltwater lakes, Veliko Jezero (Big Lake or Great Lake), and Malo Jazero (Small Lake), together covering approximately 4 square kilometers. Additionally, within Veliko Jezero, visitors will find a small island called Sveta Marija or Islet Melita, which contains a lovely 12th-century former Benedictine monastery called Crkva Sveta Marije. Below is a map that you’ll find near the entrance to the park depicting the entire park, with well-marked biking and hiking trails.

Cell Phone and Wi-Fi
The Adriatic King does offer free Wi-Fi. It works well and is stable especially when in port. We mostly communicate via “WhatsApp” and recommend downloading the app to your phone.
If you only need to charge phones, you can order this on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B41VPHG8/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A2N431DYIC8O3P&th=1
If you need to charge laptops, hairdryer, curling iron, you will need a power converter: https://www.amazon.com/International-Adapter-Converter-Straightener-Universal/dp/B07V81Q4XG/ref=sr_1_4
ATMs
The easiest and best way to get cash in Croatia is from an ATM (Bankomat). The Cirrus (tel. 800/424-7787; www.mastercard.com) and PLUS (tel. 800/843-7587; www.visa.com) networks span the globe; look at the back of your bank card to see which network you’re on, then call or check online for ATM locations in your destination. Be sure you know your personal identification number (PIN) before you leave home and be sure to find out your daily withdrawal limit before you depart. Also keep in mind that many banks impose a fee every time a card is used at another bank’s ATM, and that fee can be higher for international transactions ($5 or more) than for domestic ones (where they’re rarely more than $3). On top of this, the bank from which you withdraw cash may charge its own fee.
General Tipping Etiquette in Croatia
Cafes, Bars, and Restaurants
Tipping etiquette in Croatia, as in much of Europe, is to round up your restaurant bill and leave an average of 10% tip. Of course, this becomes arbitrary if you really enjoyed your meal and service, feel free to tip more! At more informal locations such as cafes and bars, simply round up the bill, or add around 5-10%, whichever makes you most comfortable.
Hotel Staff
Tipping to hotels is not required. However, should you find yourself in a luxurious enough establishment to provide porters or house cleaners, a small tip of 5 EUR will suffice.
Guides & Drivers
Tour guides in Croatia are among the best in Europe. As such, tips for your guides should be strongly considered. If you are joining a shared group tour – such as a walking tour of Dubrovnik, or a day trip to Krka or Plitvice National Parks – all parties in the group are welcome to chip in around US (United States) $5-10 each, making up a tidy sum for the tour guide.
Taxis and Private Drivers
Private drivers – such as those provided on our exclusive private airport transfers before or after your cruise or tour – may expect a tip of around US $10-15 per day in service.
All taxis in Croatia are on the meter and tips are not expected. Please note, however, it is widespread practice to round up the fare by adding a couple of Euro primarily to avoid the hassle of loose change!
Tipping on the Cruise (suggested)
