Where you arrive

Split’s cruise harbour serves the city, but the walk to the historic centre depends on your berth and exit. Island excursions are separate boat journeys.

Find your pace

Three ways to spend your day

01

A history wander

Explore the streets and courtyards of Diocletian’s Palace.

02

A relaxed city day

Combine the Riva with a café stop and local Dalmatian food.

03

A scenic outing

Choose a coastal or island excursion when its travel time fits your call.

Before you head ashore

Check the route from the terminal and wear shoes suited to polished stone and steps. For boat trips, confirm return timings and weather arrangements before setting out.

Your berth, tender arrangements and available excursions can vary by sailing. Check the onboard programme, keep the ship’s emergency contact with you and plan to return before the published all-aboard time.
