Day 1: Saturday Boarding from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm in the port in Rijeka. Greeting and getting to know the crew and the other passengers. After the introductions, we shall release the rope and head towards the island of Krk, the largest Adriatic island with a land area of 410 km˛. On Krk we shall stop in one of the coves to take our first swim in the Adriatic Sea. Then onward to the city of Krk, the capital city of the island or towards Punat where we shall spend the night. |
 |
|
Day 2: Sunday After breakfast we shall head towards the island of Rab. After sailing for about two hours we shall drop anchor in a romantic cove - where there will be plenty of time for swimming and suntanning. In the evening we shall arrive in the city of Rab. The historical nucleus of Rab, recognizable by its bell towers, stretches on a narrow and rocky peninsula, surrounded by the sea. The town is intersected by three cross streets: the lower street with its cafes and taverns, the middle street with its boutiques, souvenir ships, and ice-cream parlors, and the upper street that leads to the churches with the four bell towers. |

Day 3: Monday We shall then head further south. Today`s destination is Sali, the capital city of the island of Dugi Otok. Dugi Otok, in English `Long Island` is rightfully called as such because it is 45 km long and only a few hundred meters wide. Most of the residents of this island live and work in Zadar so on weekdays the towns on the island are extremely quiet while on weekends the `urban families` spend time in their hometowns. Before we reach the port in Sali, we shall naturally drop anchor in one of the coves and take a swimming break. |

Day 4: Tuesday This will certainly be the climax of our trip: `On the last day of Creation, God desired to crown his work and thus created the Kornati islands out of tears, stars and breath` wrote Irish writer George Bernard Shaw (who in 1925 received the Nobel Prize for literature). The beautiful nature landscape, numerous small and large islands (the old folk saying goes: One island for every day of the year) and the magnificent sea make the Kornati islands a unique paradise. They are the largest island cluster on the Adriatic, totaling 147 islands, islets and rocks with a total land area of 69 km˛, stretching out over an area of 230 km˛. It stretches 35 km in length and 13 km in width between Dugi Otok to the northwest, Zirje and Pasman to the southeast and Vrgad and Murter to the north and northeast. From the port in Sali, we shall set our course for `Proversa`, a narrow passage between Dugi Otok and the Kornati islands which is at the same time the entrance to the Kornati National Park. We shall pass by an endless number of islets which are mostly uninhabited and then reach the island of Man. One side of the island is gently immersed in the sea while the other side is extremely rocky. The ruins on the highest part of the island are not historical ruins, but scenery from the movie `Grabeţljive ribe u Grčkoj` which Maria Schnell (playing the part of the little girl `Mana`) filmed here at the end of the 1950s. In the afternoon we shall head north once again and spend the night in one of the fishing towns of the Zadar archipelago - Dragove, Zverinac, Ist or Molat. |
 |
|
Day 5: Wednesday Today we shall head towards the island of Losinj, which is not only famous for 300 days of sunshine a year, but also for the fact that it is covered in pine forests. With a little luck we may be able to watch some playful dolphins. The `Adria Dolphin Project` has registered as many as 160 dolphins. After taking a swimming break, we shall arrive in Mali Losinj and spend the evening as well as the night in the port. |
 |
|
Day 6: Thursday Today we shall set sail for the neighboring island of Cres, which is connected by a bascule bridge to the island of Losinj. The recognizable features of Cres are endless plantations of olives and flocks of sheep and it is with good reason that lamb is one of Cres`s specialties. After a swimming break, which goes without saying, we shall head towards the picturesque town of Cres where we shall also spend the night. |
 |
|
Day 7: Friday Today we shall bid farewell to the Croatian islands and from Cres sail along the eastern shoreline towards Rijeka - however not without taking another opportunity to go swimming. We shall spend the night in Rijeka. |
 |
|
Day 8: Saturday After breakfast we shall disembark around 9:00 am. |
 |
