Adriatic Coastal Cruise

Arrive in Zagreb and transfer to Opatija to board your ship. After settling in, meet your fellow travellers and Cruise Director during a Captain's Welcome Dinner. Stay Seven Nights: aboard the MV Princess Eleganza (D)

Enjoy free time in Opatija before you set sail and drop anchor off the beautiful island of Krk, where you can take a refreshing swim in the Adriatic. After lunch on board and a relaxing sailing afternoon, your ship will arrive at the island of Rab.

This evening is free to wander the picturesque Old Town of Rab, a perfectly preserved late medieval Adriatic settlement squeezed into a slender peninsula. Wander the white-walled harbour foreshore at leisure, perhaps enjoying dinner at a local restaurant overlooking the vibrant port marina. (B/L)

This morning your ship will drop anchor near the island of Pag, where you may like to go for a swim (weather permitting). Arrive in Zadar later in the day and enjoy a guided afternoon walking tour through the atmospheric Old Town. Admire its Roman columns and portals, beautiful churches, baroque palaces and Renaissance buildings. Return to your ship for dinner this evening. (B/L/D)

Sibenik is known as the gateway to the magical Krka National Park, and today you will spend the afternoon at the dramatic waterfalls this area is famous for. Wander along wooden boardwalks and bridges at Skradinski Buk, an azure natural pool with high waterfalls at one end and serene cascades at the other. Afterwards, return to the Princess Eleganza. Your ship remains in port overnight here in Sibenik. Following dinner on board your ship this evening, you may like to head into town to enjoy exploring Sibenik's beautiful squares, as well as its narrow, winding streets. (B/L/D)

Insider Experience: Experience the natural beauty of Krka National Park.

After breakfast, enjoy a walk through the historic town of Sibenik. Wander through the well-preserved, white-walled Old Town with your guide, visiting the Cathedral of St James and the impressive St Michael's Fortress. Enjoy the expansive views of Sibenik Bay and neighbouring islands from the fortress's open-air theatre, which has been modernised to host summer plays and concerts.

Arrive in Split later this afternoon and set out on a guided walk through the town, exploring the Palace of Diocletian. Your ship will moor close to town in the evening, giving you the chance to enjoy dinner in one of the many restaurants located on the picturesque Riva Promenade. (B/L)

On arrival at the Croatian island of Vis, disembark to explore this remote and largely untouched natural beauty during a scenic drive around the island. Return to the ship for lunch before sailing to Korcula. Join a local guide to explore the city's maze of cobblestone medieval streets and elegant squares, flanked by palaces of the old nobility. This Old Town may not be as well-known as Dubrovnik, but this destination is every bit as rewarding for those lucky enough to visit. Your ship moors near to the town overnight, meaning you can enjoy dinner in one of the local restaurants. (B/L)

Stop at the idyllic island of Badija for a swim in the warm azure waters of the Adriatic Sea before continuing to Dubrovnik. Spend the afternoon on a guided walk through the unrivalled ‘Pearl of the Adriatic', the medieval Old Town of Dubrovnik. A guided tour of Dubrovnik's World Heritage-listed fortress begins at the impressive Pile Gate, which has stood guard at the entry of this unique walled city for centuries.

Within the ancient fortifications, wander through narrow limestone alleys and marble paved boulevards to see the grand Gothic-Renaissance Rector's Palace, the Dominican and Franciscan Monasteries, and the inspiring Sponza Palace before returning to your ship later this evening for a Farewell Dinner on board. (B/L/D)

Your journey draws to its conclusion after breakfast this morning with a transfer to the airport. (B)
