Hvar is the most glamorous and celebrated of the Dalmatian islands, a beautiful and sophisticated isle famed for its Venetian architecture, lavender fields and vibrant social scene. Combining rich history, natural beauty and chic waterfront energy, it is one of the highlights of any Croatian cruise.
The island’s main town is a jewel, gathered around a magnificent marble square and harbour, watched over by a hilltop fortress and lined with Gothic and Renaissance palaces. Its lively waterfront of stylish bars and restaurants has made Hvar a favourite of the international yachting set, yet its historic charm remains beautifully intact.
Just offshore lie the enchanting Pakleni Islands, a scattering of pine-clad islets ringed by clear turquoise coves that offer some of the finest swimming and anchoring in the Adriatic. Inland, fragrant lavender fields, vineyards and ancient stone villages cloak the sun-drenched hills.
Ashore, Hvar offers excellent cuisine, renowned local wines and a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere. As one of the sunniest islands in Europe, it enjoys a wonderful climate throughout the season.
With its glamorous harbour, historic charm and clear coves, Hvar is a jewel of the Adriatic. Guests can anchor among the Pakleni Islands, explore its beautiful old town and enjoy the sophisticated energy of Croatia’s most celebrated island.
