Split,  Zadar and Secrets of the North Yacht Cruise - MS Adriatic Sky

Split

Split's ancient core is so spectacular and unusual that a visit is more than worth your time. The heart of the city lies within the walls of Roman emperor Diocletian's retirement palace, which was built in the 3rd century AD. Diocletian, born in the nearby Roman settlement of Salona in AD 245, achieved a brilliant career as a soldier and became emperor at the age of 40. In 295 he ordered this vast palace to be built in his native Dalmatia, and when it was completed he stepped down from the throne and retired to his beloved homeland. Upon his death, he was laid to rest in an octagonal mausoleum, around which Split's magnificent cathedral was built.In 615, when Salona was sacked by barbarian tribes, those fortunate enough to escape found refuge within the stout palace walls and divided up the vast imperial apartments into more modest living quarters. Thus, the palace developed into an urban center, and by the 11th century the settlement had expanded beyond the ancient walls.Under the rule of Venice (1420–1797), Split—as a gateway to the Balkan interior—became one of the Adriatic's main trading ports, and the city's splendid Renaissance palaces bear witness to the affluence of those times. When the Habsburgs took control during the 19th century, an overland connection to Central Europe was established by the construction of the Split–Zagreb–Vienna railway line.After World War II, the Tito years saw a period of rapid urban expansion: industrialization accelerated and the suburbs extended to accommodate high-rise apartment blocks. Today the historic center of Split is included on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites.

Hot Tub

There is no dress code. Our yacht cruises are informal and relaxed, so casual and comfortable clothing is the order of the day. Shorts and beachwear are welcome during the day.Whilst there’s no dress code for the evening, you may choose to opt for more smart/casual attire. Due to limited space in the cabin, we recommend you pack lightly and use a soft case. It is also advisable to bring sturdy walking shoes for sightseeing excursions and we also recommend bringing some clothes for possible cooler evenings (e.g. windbreaker, light jacket or similar).

Dress Code

We appreciate reduced mobility means different things to different individuals as we understand that individual capabilities, restrictions and requirements are likely to vary considerably. Our priority is always the safety and comfort of our passengers as well as complying with strict legal requirements relating to safety of life at sea and inland waterways. In order to achieve these objectives, passengers with reduced mobility should at the time of booking provide as much detail as possible.Due to certain requirements and mooring conditions in some ports, ships may be berthed side by side. This means passengers will need to cross from one ship to the next, sometimes with a gap in between in order to reach the shore. It is therefore important for all guests to take care when crossing between vessels. There are also flights of stairs between decks (no lifts) and walking will be required during shore excursions.It is not recommended for guests confined to wheelchairs or with limited mobility.

Limited Mobility

We provide complimentary Wi-Fi on board all our yachts, however, please note that signal can vary especially when cruising in open sea.

Wi-Fi

There will be a small area designated outside for smoking that is away from general dining and entertaining areas. <ul><li>Cigarette butts must not be thrown into the sea. </li><li>Smoking in cabins or in the restaurant area is not permitted.</li></ul>

Smoking Policy

As long as we have been given sufficient notice of any dietary requirements, these can normally be catered for on the ship. Please note requests such as gluten or dairy free may involve limited alternative options depending what ingredients and food items can be sourced locally.

Dietary Requirements

Drinking water is available on all our ships, as well as tea and coffee, during your stay on board. Tea and coffee will be served at breakfast.There will be self service facilities which guests can access during the day.No other beverages are included, but each ship offers a well-stocked bar providing a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks including local specialities for purchase and consumption on board.

Included Drinks

Guided trips ashore typically last between 60-120 minutes. They are entirely optional and you may choose not to join them and explore independently. Excursions may take place later in the afternoon, especially if the weather is hot.We recommend you wear comfortable shoes during excursions as many old town streets are cobbled and may involve steps. You are also recommended to bring some water with you if the weather is hot.We kindly ask if you decide not to join a tour just to let you Tour Manager on board know so they do not wait for you.IndependenceOnce the ship is safely docked, you will be allowed to go ashore independently. At some ports an excursion has been arranged so if you would like to join, don’t forget to return to the ship at the designated time.It is also worth noting that due to certain requirements and mooring conditions in some ports, ships may be berthed side by side. This means passengers will need to cross from one ship to the next, sometimes with a gap in between in order to reach the shore. It is therefore important for all guests to take care when crossing between vessels.PortsOur ships are designed to be able to call at smaller ports along the Croatian coastline and to visit the many islands in this area. Whilst you will likely embark and disembark in the larger cities of Split or Dubrovnik (which are fascinating ports in their own right), the majority of ports during the cruise will be local towns where you can immerse yourself in typical Croatian culture and enjoy the local food and drink. For calls to slightly larger towns, we usually include a guided walking tour so you can learn some of the history of the area and have an orientation tour before enjoying some free time to visit independently. Whereas with the smaller villages and ports we call at, you can simply visit the destination at your leisure, as the ports will be easy to explore on foot straight from the ship.

Swimming Flotation AidsEach ship will have a selection of swimming aids such as noodles, floats etc. You are advised to bring your own masks and goggles if required. There are no lifeguards on board, so it is important that you swim according to your own abilities.Please note, sea urchins can sometimes be found in these open waters, we therefore recommend you wear swim shoes as a precautionary measure.SupervisionWhenever the ship anchors for a swim stop, members of the crew and tour manager will be supervising from the back of the boat and safety measures such as having a rib in the water will be put in place (exact measures will depend on the ship).We do not recommend swimming in the sea unless you are a competent swimmer and are comfortable swimming in open water.Be aware that occasionally, unforeseen currents under the water can take you further out to sea than you’d expect, it is therefore advisable not to swim too far away from the vessel.The captain will always try to find a safe and suitable location for all swim stops and occasionally this may vary from the swim stops advertised.

Swim Stops

Sailing DurationThe majority of sailing is made during the day. The itinerary is designed so you have an overnight in port to enjoy dinner ashore at local restaurants (if not included on board) and then the ship sets sail the next morning to the next port of call. Each day, the Captain will try to find a suitable and safe spot for swimming (obviously subject to sea and weather conditions).You will then arrive at your next port of call mid to late afternoon to enjoy an independent visit or a guided walking tour. Whilst this is the usual format of each day, it also varies depending on the itinerary as on some itineraries you may have a full day in port and on others you might have an extra port at lunchtime. This is what makes each of our yacht itineraries unique and individual!The captain may also adapt the route between ports and islands along the coastline depending on the local conditions but will always aim to find the most suitable route and ports to ensure you have a comfortable sail on board and visit ashore. Please be aware sometimes the order of the itinerary and location of swim stops may change to those advertised.Sea SicknessThe ship will be moored in port overnight each night, so there will be minimal movement to allow for a restful night’s sleep. The majority of sailing will be during the day and ships may be cruising the coastline or in open water, therefore depending on weather conditions, it may be possible you will feel some movement on board.If you are concerned, it is recommended to seek medical advice before travel as there are many treatments available such as travel sickness tablets and travel wristbands.Inclement WeatherIn inclement weather, the Captain will endeavour to continue the itinerary as planned wherever possible, however there may occasionally be a change of course or port and/or swim stops may be omitted if it is deemed unsafe to anchor/moor. There is always the possibility that itineraries may be changed to ensure a smooth sailing and for the safety of passengers. The safety of our guests is our utmost priority and the Captain’s decision is final.
