Kvarner Bay of Islands Cruise 2026

Departure at 13h with lunch on board. Late arrivals can join in Krk, the homonymous town of the largest Croatian island. The first swim stop en route to refresh and enjoy the crystal clear seawater. Krk has diverse villages of various sizes, stunning promenades, dramatic rock faces with tiny islands and hundreds of hidden bays and beaches. There’s a buzz along the waterfront of Krk Town, have a drink in one of the many bars or choose a restaurant for a tasty dinner. Overnight in Krk.

After breakfast, cruise towards Rab, known as the “island of love”. On arrival, join a guided tour (included on Premium Superior & Premium) to see imposing stone walls and Romanesque church towers, churches, palaces, stone streets and ancient facades. Many streets and squares are open-air galleries, as artists work outside. Do not miss tasting the famous cake “Rapska torta“ (included on Premium Superior & Premium). If the weather permits, enjoy a walk through the beautiful centuries-old Komrčar Park with a lovely sunset. Overnight in Rab

Morning cruise from Rab towards Zadar, travelling by Pag island with its unusual moon-like landscape. Swim stop on the tiny Maun Island. Upon arrival to Zadar, join the optional guided tour (included on Premium Superior & Premium). Once the metropolis of Dalmatia, today, Zadar is the centre of the region. The rich cultural heritage is visible at every turn: the Roman Forum dating to the 1st century AD, the church of St. Donatus dating to the 9th century AD-the most famous Medieval basilica and symbol of the city, the imposing and mighty city walls, numerous palaces and villas of former noble families. Great restaurants line part of the waterfront and the centre of town. Famous, contemporary creations are the Zadar Sea Organ, one of a kind in the world (listen to the sound) and “The Greeting to the Sun” light installation. Overnight in Zadar.

Early departure towards Molat or Olib island (depending on the available harbour space) in the northern part of the Zadar archipelago. Think pure peace and serenity. Tonight, enjoy the Captain’s dinner party on board (included on Premium Superior & Premium).

After breakfast and the morning swim, cruise towards Ilovik. With only a few hundred inhabitants, Ilovik boasts lovely bays and crystal clear water. A short stop before departure towards Lošinj. Known as the “sunshine island” and for its abundance of pines, wild flowers and herbs, Lošinj is one of the most popular islands on the northern Adriatic for its hidden coves and cool Mediterranean vibe. On arrival, stroll along the pretty waterfront, visit the museum of Apoxiomenos or walk up to the Lošinj Aromatic Garden full of indigenous herbs and plants. The small town of Veli Lošinj is easy to reach if you want to explore on foot. Overnight in Mali Lošinj.

Departure towards Cres after breakfast and the morning swim. This unspoiled island of long and narrow shape is abundant with olive groves, vineyards, forests of oak, beach and remarkable stone walls. Cres and Mali Lošinj were once connected as one island, before the Romans dug a narrow channel to separate them. Spend the night in the port of Cres, a typical medieval town.

After breakfast, departure towards Opatija. The famous Opatija Riviera is best seen from the sea. On arrival in the afternoon, join a walking tour of Opatija (included on Premium Superior). Stroll the longest lungo mare (seaside promenade) in Croatia or stop in Volosko, a traditional fishing village with some of the best fish restaurants in the country.

Gather for one final breakfast, followed by goodbyes with all the new friends and the crew before they see you off in the port of Opatija.
