Itinerary
Day 1 - Zadar - Vodice
We board at Zadar port between 11:30 am and 1:00 pm. Passengers arriving later will need to embark at the next port of call, Vodice. Upon boarding, our team will welcome you with a drink, and you’ll have the chance to meet the crew and fellow travellers. After a light snack, we sail towards one of the nearby islands for our first swim in the Adriatic. We then continue to Vodice, a lively holiday resort. Following dinner on board, you can explore the evening at your leisure in one of the town’s cosy taverns or konobas. Overnight on board.
Day 2 - Vodice - Sibenik
We sail a few miles south, leaving the Adriatic Sea to enter the mouth of the River Krka. Heading upstream, we anchor at Skradin, just before the renowned Krka waterfalls. From here, smaller boats will take us to the National Park, where you can visit Skradinski Buk – the park’s most popular section. This impressive area features 17 cascades stretching up to 100 metres wide, with the river tumbling down a total of 45.7 metres. Please note that park entrance and boat transfer are not included and payable on-site. Returning to the Adriatic, we stop in Šibenik, a historic town known for its fortress-like old quarter. The highlight here is St. Jacob’s Cathedral, Croatia’s most significant Renaissance monument. After a brief walk through the old town, you may choose to dine at one of the local restaurants. We spend the night on board.
Day 3 - Sibenik - Primosten - Split
We depart Šibenik and return to the Adriatic Sea, arriving first at Primošten. This charming old town sits on a peninsula and was originally an island, connected to the mainland by a causeway in the 16th century. You can explore the narrow streets and soak up the atmosphere before we set sail again. After lunch on board, we pause in a secluded bay for a refreshing swim. Later, we continue to Split, the capital of Dalmatia. The city’s highlight is its historic centre, which developed around Diocletian’s Palace—a UNESCO World Heritage site featuring Roman walls that are over 1,700 years old, alongside lively cafés and churches.
Please note: Ongoing pier reconstruction in Split’s port may occasionally require us to dock at alternative locations such as Omiš, Milna on Brač Island, or Rogač on Šolta Island. We spend the night on board.
Day 4 - Split - Trogir
We depart from the harbour and enjoy a refreshing swim before continuing to Trogir, often called a “museum city” thanks to its UNESCO-listed old town. In the afternoon or evening, we take a guided stroll through its narrow, cobbled streets, discovering medieval archways and charming courtyards. Afterwards, you can savour dinner at one of the many inviting local restaurants. We spend the night on board.
Day 5 - Trogir - Zlarin, Šibenik
We set sail for the island of Drvenik Veli, where we pause for a refreshing swim in one of its secluded bays. After lunch on board, we continue to the charming island of Zlarin, arriving in the afternoon to moor in the small harbour of this traditional fishing village. You will have the opportunity to enjoy dinner at one of Zlarin’s local restaurants before spending the night on board.
Day 6 - Sali
We sail through the Kornati Islands, the largest and most densely packed archipelago in the Adriatic, comprising 147 islands, islets and reefs stretching over 35 kilometres. This area, declared a National Park in 1980, offers stunning natural beauty as we cruise its full length. We will anchor in one of the pristine bays for a generous swimming break in crystal-clear waters. Our destination is Telašćica Nature Park on the island of Dugi Otok, known for its dramatic cliffs rising up to 161 metres and the saltwater lake Mir, located just a short walk from the landing stage. We spend the night on board here, surrounded by this remarkable landscape.
Day 7 - Zadar
We depart from Telašćica Nature Park and sail to a bay on the island of Ugljan for a final, refreshing swim. Afterwards, we return to Zadar, where a guided tour of the old town awaits. You will explore the city’s key landmarks, including the Roman Forum, the round church of Sveti Donat, the Cathedral of Sveta Stošija, and the unique sea organs—an extraordinary musical installation powered entirely by the waves. We spend the night on board in Zadar.
Day 8 - Zadar
After breakfast, disembark by 9:00 am. We wish you a pleasant onward journey.
