Day 2: VODICE – KRKA WATERFALLS – ŠIBENIK
A few miles further south, we leave the Adriatic Sea and turn into the embouchure of the River Krka. We go upstream and anchor in Skradin, shortly before the famous Krka waterfalls. From there, smaller boats will take us to the National Park. You will have the opportunity to visit “Skradinski Buk”, the most popular part of the waterfall area, where in 17 falls, with up to 100 m broad cascades, the Krka rushes down 45.7 metres (park entrance, including boat ride not included, payable on-site). On our return to the Adriatic Sea, we will stop in Šibenik. The most famous building in the fortress-like old town is the St. Jacob’s Cathedral, the most important Renaissance monument in Croatia. After a brief stroll through the old town, opportunity for dinner in one of the local restaurants.
Overnight on board.
Day 3: ŠIBENIK – PRIMOŠTEN – SPLIT
We leave Šibenik and return to the Adriatic. We reach our first destination, Primošten, whose picturesque old town is situated on a peninsula. Originally an islet, the settlement was connected to the mainland by an artificial causeway in the 16th century. Here you have the opportunity to stroll through the old town before we set sail again and, after lunch on board, call at a bay for a bathing break. We then set course for Split, the capital of Dalmatia. Split's main attraction is the old town, which grew out of Diocletian's Palace. The complex, which belongs to the World Cultural Heritage, houses, churches, cafés… places full of flair between 1700-year-old Roman walls! After a guided tour of the city, the rest of the evening is at your disposal to stroll through the old town.
Overnight on board.
Day 4: SPLIT – ISLAND OF BRAČ
In the morning we leave Split and continue south. After lunch and a swim break, we set course for the island of Brač. The island is world-famous for its limestone, which is quarried here. It has been used in buildings such as the White House in Washington and the Reichstag in Berlin. We first drop anchor in one of the beautiful bays to enjoy an extended bathing break. Then we head for Pučišća, where we also spend the night. When entering the bay of Pučišća, you will see the largest quarry on the island, and you will also encounter limestone at every turn in the town. The harbour pier, the facades of the houses, and even the lanterns in the harbour are made of this stone, and Pučišća is also home to one of the most important stonemasonry schools in Europe.
Overnight on board.
Day 5: ISLAND BRAČ – ISLAND OF ŠOLTA – ISLAND OF DRVENIK – ISLAND OF ZLARIN
We could also call today a "four-island day". We leave Pučišća on the island of Brač and head for a bay on the island of Šolta for our first bathing break. After about an hour, we lift anchor and set course for the island of Drvenik, where we take our second bathing break of the day. While lunch is served on board, we start the engine again and sail towards the fourth island – Zlarin. In the late afternoon we moor in the small harbour of the fishing village Zlarin. Opportunity for dinner in one of the restaurants and overnight stay.
Overnight on board.
Day 6: ISLAND OF ZLARIN – KORNATI NATIONAL PARK – TELAŠĆICA NATURE PARK
"On the last day of creation, God wished to crown his handiwork, so out of tears, stars and breath he created the Kornati Islands," wrote the Irish writer George Bernard Shaw. They are the largest and densest collection of islands in the Adriatic Sea – 147 islands, islets and reefs stretch for about 35 km. We sail the entire length of this nautical paradise, which was declared a National Park in 1980. Of course, we will anchor in one of the beautiful bays with crystal-clear water for an extensive bathing break. Our destination today is the Telašćica Nature Park, a protected bay that is cut about ten kilometres deep into the island of Dugi Otok. Striking features are the steep cliffs up to 161 m high and the saltwater lake Mir, which are only a few minutes walk from the ship's landing stage.
Overnight on board.
Day 7: TELAŠĆICA NATURE PARK – ISLAND OF UGLJAN – ZADAR
We leave the Telašćica Nature Park and head for one of the bays on the island of Ugljan for a last extensive swimming break before returning to the starting point of our cruise. After arriving in Zadar, our tour guide will be waiting for you for a guided tour of the old town surrounded by mighty walls. You will see the most important sights – e.g. the Roman Forum, the round church of Sveti Donat, the cathedral of Sveta Stošija and the sea organs, unique in the world, whose sound and "melodies" are determined solely by the waves.
