Embark on a journey of discovery, spending 8 unforgettable days cruising the northern Adriatic Sea
DAY 1: SATURDAY OPATIJA – KRK
Departure at 1300hrs (1pm) with lunch on board. Late arrivals can join in Krk, the homonymous town of the largest Croatian island. The first swim stop en route to refresh and enjoy the crystal clear seawater. Krk has diverse villages of various sizes, stunning promenades, dramatic rock faces with tiny islands and hundreds of hidden bays and beaches. There’s a buzz along the waterfront of Krk Town, have a drink in one of the many bars or choose a restaurant for a tasty dinner. Overnight in Krk. (L)
DAY 2: SUNDAY KRK – RAB
After breakfast, cruise towards Rab, known as the “island of love”. On arrival, join a guided tour (included on Premium Superior & Premium only) to see imposing stone walls and Romanesque church towers, churches, palaces, stone streets, and ancient facades. Many streets and squares are open-air galleries, as artists work outside. Do not miss tasting the famous cake “Rapska torta” (included on Premium Superior & Premium only). If weather permits, walk up to the Kamenjak Hill, and watch the magnificent sunset. Overnight in Rab. (B,L)
DAY 3: MONDAY RAB – ZADAR
Morning cruise from Rab towards Zadar, travelling by Pag island with its unusual moon-like landscape. Swim stop on tiny Maun Island. Upon arrival in Zadar, join the optional guided tour (included on Premium Superior & Premium only). Once the metropolis of Dalmatia, today, Zadar is the centre of the region. The rich cultural heritage is visible at every turn: the Roman Forum dating to the 1st century AD, the church of St. Donatus dating to the 9th century AD – the most famous Medieval Basilica and symbol of the city, the imposing and mighty city walls, numerous palaces, and villas of former noble families. Great restaurants line part of the waterfront and the centre of town. Famous, contemporary creations are the Zadar Sea Organ, one of a kind in the world (listen to the sound) and “The Greeting to the Sun” light installation. Overnight in Zadar. (B,L)
DAY 4: TUESDAY ZADAR – MOLAT or OLIB
Early departure towards Molat or Olib island (depending on the available harbour space) in the northern part of the Zadar archipelago. Think pure peace and serenity. Tonight, enjoy the Captain’s dinner party on board (included on Premium Superior & Premium only). Overnight in the harbour.
(B, L, D – dinner included for Premium/Premium Superior only)
DAY 5: WEDNESDAY MOLAT or OLIB – ILOVIK – LOŠINJ
After breakfast and the morning swim, cruise towards Ilovik. It may have only a few hundred inhabitants, but Ilovik has lovely bays and crystal-clear water. A short stop before departure towards Lošinj, known as the “sunshine island” and for its abundance of pines, wildflowers, and herbs. Lošinj is one of the most popular islands on the northern Adriatic waters for its hidden coves and cool Mediterranean vibe. On arrival, stroll along the pretty waterfront, visit the museum of Apoxiomenos or walk up to the Lošinj Aromatic Garden full of indigenous herbs and plants. The small town of Veli Lošinj is easy to reach if you want to explore on foot. Overnight in Mali Lošinj. (B,L)
DAY 6: THURSDAY LOŠINJ – CRES
Departure towards Cres after breakfast and the morning swim. This unspoiled island of long and narrow shape is abundant with olive groves, vineyards, forests of oak, beech, and remarkable stone walls. Cres and Mali Lošinj were once connected as one island, before the Romans dug a narrow channel to separate them. Spend the night in the port of Cres, a typical medieval town. (B,L)
DAY 7: FRIDAY CRES – OPATIJA
After breakfast, departure towards Opatija. The famous Opatija Riviera is best seen from the sea. On arrival in the afternoon, join a walking tour of Opatija (included on Premium Superior only). Stroll the longest lungomare (seaside promenade) in Croatia or stop in Volosko, a traditional fishing village with some of the best fish restaurants in the country. On the last night on board, have a farewell party under the stars. This would be a great time to swap contact details with new friends and plan the return trip. Many people come back, again and again. (B,L)
DAY 8: SATURDAY: OPATIJA
After breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye to the crew and all your new friends! End of services. (B)
