Itinerary
Day 1 : Arrive Zagreb, Opatija, Embark Yacht
Location: Zagreb
Accommodation Name: Eight Nights, MV Lady Eleganza
Meals Included: Dinner
Fly from the UK and arrive in Zagreb, be met at the airport and transferred to your yacht in Opatija. Tonight, come together to enjoy a Captain's welcome dinner, which provides the perfect opportunity to get to know your fellow travellers and Cruise Director. You will dock overnight in this magnificent town.
Day 2 : Krk, Rab
Location: Rab
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
We depart from Opatija, heading to the beautiful island of Krk, where weather permitting, your yacht will drop its anchor so you can enjoy a swim right off the stern deck. Later, sail to the island of Rab and spend some time meandering through the narrow old alleys of the historic and picturesque Old Town.
Day 3 : Pag, Zadar
Location: Zadar
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Arrive in Pag, a distinctively rocky island where you will have the chance to take a refreshing dip straight off the stern deck. Later, continue to Zadar and enjoy a guided walk through its well-preserved Old Town, which sits on a peninsula and is entirely pedestrianised. The streets are filled with Roman ruins, Romanesque churches and Renaissance palaces, but there is also a striking modernity to Zadar, with its Sea Organ, which plays a tune according to the rhythm of the waves, and its Sun Salutation light show. Your yacht will dock here overnight, so you may like to try one of the local taverns.
Day 4 : Sibenik, Radosic
Location: Sibenik

Today, head to beautiful Krka National Park. Here, explore the dramatic waterfalls, the most spectacular of which is Skradinski Buk, a large natural pool with high waterfalls at one end and cascades at the other. Take a walk along wooden jetties and bridges to admire the falls, as well as the unique flora and fauna. Return to the yacht and continue cruising to Vis. Enjoy dinner on board as your ship moors overnight. You also have the option to experience life like the locals and visit a tavern.
Day 6 : Vis, Hvar
Location: Hvar
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
This morning you’ll enjoy a guided tour of Vis, one of the main Croatian Islands that was used as a military base for the Yugoslav army and only opened up to tourism in 1989. This isolation and lack of development is the island’s main attraction, as it is filled with natural beauty. Return to your yacht and sail to Hvar, where you’ll embark on a guided walking discovery of the stunning Old Town. Set off from the iconic main square, which is the largest piazza in Dalmatia, then see the cathedral and the Franciscan Monastery. Continue to the Benedictine Nunnery, where we hear about the aloe lace still produced today by the nuns.
Day 7 : Hvar, Korcula
Location: Korcula
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Sail to Korcula, where you'll stroll along medieval streets flanked by palaces. It is believed the great explorer Marco Polo was born in this town. Tonight, dine on board, then perhaps go ashore for an evening stroll or maybe check out the local nightlife.

Location: Korcula
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
This morning, continue to your last port of call, Dubrovnik. Here, embark on a guided discovery of this spectacular walled city, known as the 'Pearl of the Adriatic'.
