Kvarner Bay of Islands Plus First Class Mini-Cruise 2024 (Zadar - Opatija)

Day 1 Zadar
Check-in at Zadar port at 17.00hrs and join a sightseeing tour starting at 17.30hrs. For centuries the metropolis of Dalmatia, today the centre of the region, Zadar is a city rich in monumental heritage. The church of St Donatus dated to the 9th century AD is the most famous medieval basilica and the city's symbol. There is also the Roman forum dated to the 1st century AD, the mighty city walls, and numerous palaces and villas. Do not miss the famous Zadar Sea Organ, one of a kind in the world, and “The Greeting to the Sun” light installation.

Day 2 Zadar - Molat/Olib
An early departure today to the Island of Molat or Olib (depending on available space in the island's small harbours). Molat Island is situated in the Northern part of Zadar's archipelago. The peace and serenity of this island, untouched by tourism and with minimal infrastructure, is a great place to relax. The island of Olib has numerous beautiful beaches which you will notice as soon as you come ashore. For those who explore the tiny village, you will come across the parish church dating back to the 17th century. Inside the church are many Glagolitic codices from the 16th-19th century. After relaxing or exploring, gather back on board the Captain's dinner.

Meals included: Breakfast, lunch and dinner

Day 3 Molat/Olib - Ilovik - Losinj
After breakfast and a refreshing morning swim, you cruise to the peaceful island of flowers, called Ilovik. After a short visit, depart for Losinj, one of the most popular islands on the northern Adriatic waters due to the abundance of pine trees and clear waters. The archaeological museum of Apoxiomenos is located here but it is also lovely to spend time walking along the pretty waterfront, visiting the aromatic garden, or having a swim in the beautiful clear waters. You may like to walk to visit the nearby picturesque town of Veli Losinj (only 5 km away).

Meals included: Breakfast and lunch

Day 4 Losinj - Cres
After a morning swim, you leave for the island of Cres. This long and narrow island is covered with oak and pine forests as well as vineyards and olive tree plantations. Cres and Mali Losinj used to be one island but a channel dug by the Romans separated them. You'll spend the night in the harbour of the typical medieval city of Cres.

Meals included: Breakfast and lunch

Day 5 Cres - Opatija
This morning, sail towards Opatija where you can enjoy the beautiful views of the famous Opatija Riviera as you sail into port. On arrival, set out on a guided sightseeing tour of Opatija to learn about the history of this fashionable 19th-century resort town dotted with Austro-Hungarian Habsburg period villas that still retain its glamour and charm from a bygone era. The evening is then free to stroll along the famous Lungo Mare pathway or perhaps to the fishing village of Volosko, which is well known for good seafood restaurants.
