Cruise Croatia Kvarner Bay of Islands
Itinerary – Opatija to Opatija (8 days)

Day 1 OPATIJA – KRK, Saturday

Check in between 11.00 – 12.00 hrs for 13.00 hrs departure from Opatija harbour. Late arrivals can join in Krk. Lunch is served as we cruise, and there’s an afternoon swim stop in one of the bays to refresh and to 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 welcome dinner.

Overnight in Krk
Meals: (L)

Day 2 KRK – RAB, Sunday

After breakfast, cruise towards Rab, known as the “island of love”. On arrival, join a guided tour 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” (the recipe is secret, tasting included). If weather permits, walk up to the Kamenjak hill and watch the magnificent sunset.

Overnight in Rab
Meals: (B, L, T)

Day 3 RAB – ZADAR, Monday

Morning cruise from Rab towards Zadar, travelling by Pag island with its unusual moon-like landscape. Swim stop on the tiny Maun island. Upon arrival to Zadar, join the guided tour. Today, Zadar is the centre of the region and was the metropolis of Dalmatia for many centuries. The rich cultural heritage is visible at every turn: the Roman Forum dating to the 1stcentury AD, the church of St. Donatus dating to the 9th century AD-the most famous Medieval basilica and the symbol of the city, the imposing and mighty city walls with representative Port and Land Gates dating to the 16th century, 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
Meals: (B, L)

Day 4 ZADAR – MOLAT or OLIB, Tuesday

Day 5 MOLAT or OLIB – ILOVIK – MALI LOŠINJ, Wednesday

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 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
Meals: (B, L)

Day 6 MALI LOŠINJ – CRES, Thursday

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.

Overnight in the port of Cres
Meals: (B, L)

Day 7 CRES – OPATIJA, Friday

After breakfast, depart 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 lungo mare (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.
