Your booking with not have a confirmation of the ship name, but only the `cabin-category` on one ship of the fleet. You will be informed about the actual name of the ship on embarkation day; our representative will inform the guests on the spot. Please look at Ship Info for the ships that are doing this route.

Day 1: Saturday
From 11:30 am to 1:00 pm boarding in Zadar, meeting and getting to know the crew and other passengers. After that we release the ropes and head towards Zirje or Prvic where we will make our first swimming break. We head further towards Vodice, lively tourist destination. Enjoy the evening with a glass of wine in one of many pleasant taverns or restaurants. Boarding again in the evening for those that arrived by plane and who will be driven to Vodice.
Day 2: Sunday
Several miles further South, we leave the Adriatic and enter the estuary of river Krka. Our next stop is Sibenik. The town of Sibenik was first mentioned in 1006. It is the youngest of cities on the coast but at the same time the oldest Croatian town. It was not founded by neither Greeks nor Romans nor Byzantium but Croats. The best known building in the old town center is St. Jacob cathedral, most significant Renaissance monument in Croatia, which resembles a fortress. After walking around town we sail further down the river Krka. We anchor in Skradin, not far from the well known Krka's waterfalls. Ships sail from here that can get you to national park. If you have the possibility to visit "Skradinski buk", best known of the waterfalls, where Krka falls into 17 waterfalls in one fall of 800 m, and one hundred meters of wide cascades from the height of 45,7 m. Be sure not to forget your swimming stuff because swimming in crystal clear Krka just beneath the waterfalls is a unique event. (Entrance the National Park which includes a boat ride costs $ 12 payable at the spot). We return to the Adriatic and sail toward Zlarin, a fishermen's town on the same-called island in which port we will stay the night.
Day 3: Monday
On our sailing trip toward the South, we will stop in one of many bays for a swim. After several hours of break we sail further to Trogir, town under the auspices of UNESCO, which is also called "Town-museum". It is a great experience walking in the afternoon or in the evening down the labyrinth of narrow streets, admire the walls, towers, churches, frescoes and vaults or just take a glimpse here and there into the old courtyards. Spending the night in Trogir.
Day 4: Tuesday
There is a longer journey ahead of us today. We are heading towards the "forbidden island" Vis, which was forbidden for foreign tourists until the end of the 1980-ies. Where there used to be takeoff and landing runway of military aircraft bases but for some years now it grows planted grape wine. Most striking feature of this island is luscious sub tropic vegetation which is everywhere. The Town Vis is the oldest place in Dalmatia, 397 BC. Syracusean Dionysus founded a town which he named Issa, as a first Greek colony on the eastern shores of the Adriatic. We will spend a night in Vis port, a peaceful town in a secluded bay on the northern side of the island. Since the island of Vis is situated relatively far on the open sea, in case of unfavorable weather we will alternatively sail to the island of Hvar.
Day 5: Wednesday
We head in direction of land again, more accurately Primosten or Rogoznica, two pleasant tourist fishermen's towns. Interestingly, they both lay on small islets connected to land with narrow embankments. After usual swimming break, we will anchor in one of those two ports and spend the night there.
Day 6: Thursday
"On the last day of creation, God decided to crown his deed and thus created Kornati out of tears, stars and breath", wrote Irish writer George Bernard Shaw. Wonderful nature, numerous small and large islands (it is said: an island for every day of a year), beautiful sea, all this makes Kornati unique paradise. They are the largest island group in the Adriatic, counting 147 islands, islets and rocks with total surface of 69 km2, scattered on an area of 230 km2. They stretch over a length of 35 km and width of about 13 km between Long Island on Northwest, Zirje and Pasman on Southeast and Vrgade and Murter on Northe and Northeast. We will sail Kornati along its entire length and stop in one bay on its northern part to swim. We are staying the night in Sala on Long Island.
Day 7: Friday
Before we head back to Zadar, we will anchor in one of many bays on the island of Ugljan to take one more swimming break. After dinner there will be a tourist guide waiting in Zadar to take our guest to a tour around the mighty city walls that encompass the town. He/she will show you the most important sights of the town such as the Roman forum, St. Donat church, St. Stosija cathedral and unique sea organs whose sounds and melodies are created by the waves. In the end we recommend walking around town on your own or maybe having a drink in one of many cafés. With a little luck you might come across a "klapa" vocal singing group rehearsing their songs in the open air.

Zagreb
Zagreb is the cultural, scientific, economic, political and administrative center of Croatia. Surnamed the "city of museums" as there are more of them per square foot than any other city in the world, Zagreb is also a vibrant destination with a variety of modern shops, quality restaurants and sports/recreational facilities. The historical part of the city to the north of Ban Jelačić Square is comprised of the Upper Town and Kaptol, a medieval urban complex of churches, palaces, museums, galleries and government buildings that are exceptionally popular with tourists on sightseeing tours.
Zadar
Dating back from roman times, Zadar is a city with a long tradition and a rich cultural heritage. The town is fortified with thick walls, renowned for their impressive ports, such as the Harbor Port and the Mainland Port, which date back to the sixteenth century. Zadar's most impressive sight is the pre-Romanesque Church of St. Donatus. The town is also famous for having the most beautiful Romanesque churches in Croatia, such as the Cathedral of St. Anastasia, the Church of St. Chrysogonus and the Bell-tower of St. Mary.
