Elafiti Islands Cruise from Dubrovnik

Location: Dubrovnik, Croatia
Duration: 9 hours

Spend a day cruising around Croatia’s pretty Elafiti Islands aboard a replica of a historical galleon. Sail from Dubrovnik around the sun-baked archipelago and enjoy free time to explore the islands of Koločep, Lopud and Šipan. A traditional Croatian lunch with live folk music is also included!

Explore the beautiful islands off the coast of Croatia by sailboat — a faithful replica of a historic galleon — and enjoy breathtaking views of the Dubrovnik region. During this cruise, you will visit the three most picturesque islands of the Elafiti archipelago: Koločep, Lopud and Šipan. The legend of the Elafiti Islands is hidden in their name, derived from the Ancient Greek word for “deer,” an animal once common to the islands.

“The Elafiti Islands combine crystal-blue waters, quiet villages, and timeless Adriatic charm — a perfect escape from Dubrovnik’s bustle.”

After docking at each island, enjoy free time to explore lush gardens, orchards of oranges and lemons, and rugged coastal scenery. Wander through charming island villages and admire old stone manor houses, quaint fishing ports, and small seafront churches.

Halfway through your sailing adventure, while the boat is docked at Šipan’s pier, sit down to a delectable lunch of grilled fish served with local wine. As you dine, soak up the views and enjoy live traditional music performed by onboard musicians. After a full day of Adriatic beauty, return to Dubrovnik Port and finish your experience with a convenient hotel drop-off.
