Dubrovnik to Zadar

Embark at any time after 2pm. Over a welcome drink and a snack, meet your Cruise Director and crew and get acquainted with the rules and safety measures.

The far south of Croatia holds many gems. Start with an optional walking tour * of Dubrovnik, also known as the Pearl of the Adriatic or the King's Landing. Whatever you might consider to be the town's main drawcard, Dubrovnik's mighty city walls and its courteous spirit will swiftly transport you back in time to when this was an independent republic that successfully rivaled the Venetian Republic. Its outpost is your next stop, with your journey over interrupted only by a refreshing dip in the Elaphite Islands.

Enjoy breakfast with a view and a morning sail to Hvar, officially the sunniest of 1200 Croatian islands. This jet-set fave is also the island with the most UNESCO-listed heritage in the entire world, consider joining our optional guided tour *.

After a short sail we will reach Split. Diocletian Roman emperor spared no expense for the construction of a sumptuous residence, importing the best quality marble, sphinx and columns. The original palace was modified by its new inhabitants during the Middle Ages, but making it even more beautiful and what it is today: the city's living heart. Its narrow streets hide passageways and courtyards, some deserted and eerie, others lively and animated by the music from bars and cafes, or by the everyday life of its residents; take an optional walking tour of Split * with our expert guide.

Leaving Split will be Trogir's first stop, a small Dalmatian town listed on UNESCO's List of World Cultural Heritage, located on the island and squeezed in between the mainland and the larger island of Ciovo. Except for the green parks the entire island is occupied by spectacular constructions of stone-houses, palaces, churches, monasteries, towers, walls etc. You will have free time to pay for a visit to the main attraction in Trogir * - the Cathedral of St. Lawrence which is probably the finest example of sacral architecture in Croatia. The final destination of the day will be Sibenik, where you can take an optional walking tour *.

This morning, you will experience the Northern exposure of Dalmatian beauties and history. Sailing between numerous islands in the late afternoon our cruise will reach our final port, Zadar, where upon arrival you can take an optional Zadar walking tour * through the Roman Forum from the 2nd century BC, passing by the 9th century pre-Romanesque church of St.

When sailing along the Croatian coast, surpassing the beauty around you may seem like an impossible task. Probably so, but there are sites on the Croatian mainland that surely parallel it, such as the Plitvice Lakes.

Situated in a thick forest, the Plitvice Lakes are considered one of the most beautiful natural phenomena in the world. Sixteen lakes, connected by 92 waterfalls, cascade through its picturesque surrounding. The Plitvice Lakes were declared a National Park in 1949, and since 1979 they have been listed on the UNESCO World Natural Heritage List.
