Itinerary

Set sail in at 2 PM and relish lunch on board. Those arriving later can catch up in Krk town, nestled on the island bearing the same name. Along the journey, make a refreshing stop for a swim in some of the clearest waters imaginable. Krk boasts diverse villages, ranging in size, adorned with picturesque promenades, dramatic rock formations hosting tiny islands, and a plethora of concealed bays and beaches.

The waterfront of Krk town hums with activity — take a stroll and unwind at the numerous bars and restaurants. In the afternoon, indulge in a wine-tasting experience in the charming village of Vrbnik, with a convenient bus transfer from Krk.

Overnight in Krk town

Following breakfast, set sail toward Rab, often referred to as the “Island of Love”. Join in a guided tour to explore the impressive stone walls, striking Romanesque church towers, churches, palaces, stone streets, and ancient facades that define the island’s charm. Numerous streets and squares serve as open-air galleries, showcasing artists at work.

Don’t forget to savor the renowned “Rapska torta” cake, whose recipe is a closely guarded secret. Take a stroll up to Kamenjak Hill to witness a breathtaking sunset.

Overnight in Rab

Morning cruise from Rab to Zadar, passing through the moon-like landscape of Pag. Enjoy a swim break on Maun Island.

Explore Zadar’s rich cultural heritage on a guided tour, from the 1st-century AD Roman forum to the 9th-century AD Church of St. Donatus. Admire the 16th-century AD city walls, Port and Land gates, and former noble residences. Experience modern attractions like the Zadar Sea Organ and “The Greeting to the Sun.”

Overnight in Zadar

Explore the Kornati archipelago, with its 140 islands and dramatic inlets where some plunge steeply into the sea. Discover the Kornati National Park, rich in fish and cultural remnants, featuring ancient fortresses, Roman villas, the Church of St. Mary, and Medieval structures. Spend the night in Telašćica Bay on Dugi Otok, with the option to explore white cliffs dropping 90 meters into the sea and a salt lake named “Mir.”

Overnight in Telašćica Bay on Dugi Otok

After breakfast and a morning dip, sail to Lošinj, known as “the sunshine island”. Enjoy the scent of pines, wildflowers, and herbs as you explore Mali Lošinj with a guided walking tour and visit the Museum of Apoxyomenos, dedicated to an ancient bronze athlete statue.

Stroll through the Lošinj Aromatic Garden or visit Veli Lošinj — a picturesque small place known for its many “konobas” and lovely restaurants.

Overnight in Mali Lošinj

After a morning swim the journey takes us to Cres, possibly stopping at the lovely Susak island if weather allows. Cres, in its pristine magnificence, features a long and narrow landscape with olive groves, vineyards, oak and beech forests, and impressive stone walls.

Cres and Mali Lošinj were once a single island until the Romans created a narrow channel between them. Optionally, enjoy dinner in Loznati village (with a transfer from Cres) to relish traditional lamb specialties. Alternatively, stay overnight in the medieval town of Cres with hidden squares and courtyards.

Overnight in Cres

Set sail for Opatija after breakfast, arriving in the late afternoon to take in the renowned Opatija Riviera from the sea. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along Croatia’s longest seaside promenade, the Lungomare, and make a stop in Volosko, a charming traditional fishing village. On the final night, savor a captain’s dinner with live entertainment on board — it’s the perfect opportunity to exchange contact details with newfound friends and discuss plans for your return.

Overnight in Opatija

Join together for a farewell breakfast, bidding farewell to your newfound friends and the crew as they see you off at the Opatija port.
