In September 2026, Ladies Who Travel will set sail on a once-in-a-lifetime Croatia Sailing Adventure from Dubrovnik to Split.
Hosted by Ladies Who Travel Founder Melissa Delaware, this incredible journey begins with one night in Dubrovnik, followed by seven nights aboard a private yacht, and ends with two relaxing nights in Split to round off the adventure in true Mediterranean style.
Discover UNESCO-listed Dubrovnik before setting sail.
Cruise through the turquoise waters of the Adriatic.
Explore Mljet, Korčula, Vis, Hvar and the Elafiti Islands
Enjoy optional winery visits and fresh local cuisine.
Unwind with two nights in Split — the perfect finale.
A journey of connection, laughter, and discovery — where sun-soaked days, sparkling seas, and shared experiences create memories to last a lifetime.
The itinerary of this trip might change due to the weather, season, public holidays, berth availability and transport schedules.
Upon arrival in Dubrovnik, check in to your 4-star hotel and take the afternoon to unwind after your journey or head out to explore Dubrovnik’s Old Town. Stroll along the city walls, wander through marble-paved streets, or relax by the Adriatic.
If you’d like to make the most of this incredible city, you can also choose to arrive a few days early to explore more of Dubrovnik before the trip officially begins. We can help you with this!
This evening, meet your fellow Ladies Who Travel members for a Welcome Dinner and toast to the start of your Croatian sailing adventure!
In the morning, explore this UNESCO-listed gem at your own pace.
