Islands of Kvarner Bay Premium - 8 Days

Welcome to the beautiful city of Opatija. Our journey begins as we set sail for Krk, the largest Croatian island. Enjoy a delicious lunch on board and take a refreshing swim in the crystal clear sea. We'll dock at Krk town for the night, where you can explore its vibrant restaurants and bars, or discover secluded bays and beaches along the coast.

We depart from Krk and sail towards Rab, also known as the 'Island of Love'. A guided tour of the romantic Rab town awaits, where you can admire Romanesque churches, historic stone walls, and ancient streets. Enjoy a tasting of the local delicacy, Rapska torta, and if the weather permits, take a walk to Kamenjak Hill for a stunning sunset view.

Leaving Rab, we sail past the unique island of Pag and stop for a swim at the tiny island of Maun. We then arrive in Zadar, the oldest continuously inhabited city in Croatia. Join an included guided tour to explore the historic Roman Forum, the medieval basilica of Saint Donatus, and the imposing 16th-century city walls. Spend the evening at the waterfront, enjoying a meal and listening to the unique sounds of the Zadar Sea Organ.

Today, we begin our journey back to Opatija, sailing to either Molat or Olib, depending on harbour availability. These peaceful and sparsely inhabited islands offer a serene retreat. Take a leisurely walk along the coast before joining us for the Captain's Dinner onboard in the evening.

After breakfast and a swim, we set sail for Ilovik, a small island home to just a few hundred people. We then continue to Losinj, known for its lush pine forests and abundant sunshine. Docking at the town of Mali Losinj, you have the rest of the day to explore the waterfront or visit the nearby town of Veli Losinj.

Today, we sail to Cres, an island that was once connected to Mali Losinj until the Romans dug a narrow channel to separate them. Cres town is a typical medieval settlement with narrow streets and beautiful stone architecture. The island's landscape is adorned with olive groves, vineyards, and oak forests, offering plenty of exploration opportunities.

On our final day of sailing, we return to Opatija, offering the best views of the famous Opatija Riviera from the sea. After lunch, you have free time to explore - we recommend a walk along Croatia's longest seaside promenade. For dinner, consider visiting the nearby village of Volosko, known for its excellent fish restaurants. We'll end the day with a farewell party onboard.
