CRUISE ITINERARY
Day 1, Saturday: Opatija – Island Of Krk
Departure is from Opatija Harbour at 1.00pm. We stop to swim and then continue to the Island of Krk, with its variety of villages, gentle green promenades, bare rocky wilderness and hundreds of hidden bays and beaches. Overnight in Krk, Croatia’s largest island with free time to explore the old town. (L)
Day 2, Sunday: Island Of Krk – Island Of Rab
After a morning swim and breakfast we sail to the Island of Rab, known as the “island of love”. We overnight in the small town of Rab; encircled by medieval walls you’ll find Romanesque church towers, convents and palaces, cobble stone streets and ancient facades and fountains. Enjoy the “gallery” on the streets and squares where many painters and artists exhibit their works. Optional guided tour of the city available. (B, L)
Day 3, Monday: Island Of Rab – Zadar
After breakfast we cruise from the Island of Rab along the Island of Pag with a swim stop on tiny Island of Maun, and continue towards Zadar in the afternoon where we spend the night in the port. Perhaps you may wish to join our optional guided tour of the city. For centuries the metropolis of Dalmatia, and today the centre of the region, Zadar has been a city of rich monumental heritage of world importance visible at every step even today: the Roman forum dated to the 1st century AD, the church of St Donatus dated to the 9th century AD – the most famous Medieval basilica and the symbol of the city, the mighty city walls with representative Port and Land gates from the 16th century AD, and numerous palaces, villas and other monumental heritage. The town is full of great restaurants packed in the centre and already mentioned historical monuments that can be found in and around the city – of special interest is the famous Zadar Sea Organ. (B, L)
Day 4, Tuesday: Zadar – Island Of Molat or Olib
After breakfast, we sail to Island of Molat or Island of Olib (depending on available space in the small harbours of these two islands).

After breakfast, we sail to the peaceful “island of flowers” called Ilovik where we have a stop for swimming and continue to the Island of Lošinj (lunch on route), which is one of the most popular islands on the northern Adriatic due to the abundance of pine trees and clear waters.
