Home » destinations » Europe » Croatia » Riviera Travel Opatija, Zadar & Northern Gems of the Adriatic
Explore North Croatia’s stunning coastline on a round trip from historic Opatija to the breathtaking Kornati National Park, an archipelago of 150 islands and reefs. Glide along the Adriatic’s pristine waters, take leisurely dips from your yacht, and admire charming coastal towns like Mali Lošinj and Zadar. Wander through the quaint village of Sali, uncover Rab’s rich history (and famous Rab cake), and cruise through the natural wonders of Kornati.
Day 1: Arrival in Opatija
Fly to Croatia and on arrival, transfer to Opatija where the yacht is moored. The rest of the day is at leisure to settle in before dinner in the ship’s restaurant.
Day 2: Krka and Rab
Travel to Croatia’s largest island, Krk, this morning. Here you’ll have time to explore independently, perhaps visiting its cafes and galleries. Return to the ship for lunch before heading to Rab. Take a walking tour with a local guide, admiring the architecture before indulging in Rab Cake. The evening is at leisure.
Day 3: Zadar
In the morning, enjoy a relaxed morning of sailing, during which you’ll make a stop for a swim. Later in the day, arrive in the coastal town of Zadar. On a guided tour, you’ll get to explore the mixture of roman ruins and medieval churches before leisure time to wander and find dinner
Day 4: Kornati National Park & Sali
The yacht enters the Kornati archipelago this morning, giving you the chance to experience this otherworldly landscape. You’ll also get the chance to take a refreshing swim before lunch. In the afternoon, you’ll dock in the town of Sali on the island of Dugi Otuk. Enjoy picturesque views as you explore at your own pace.
Day 5: Ilovik & Mali Losinj
Sail back north this morning, relaxing onboard before pausing near Silba for a swim. Following lunch, step ashore on the island of Ilovik, known for its vibrant and exotic flora. After a brief stop here, reboard the yacht for the journey to the Losinj peninsula. The yacht docks at the town of Mali Losinj, home to quaint shops and colourful houses. The ship remains here tonight, meaning you can dine at leisure in one of the local restaurants.
Day 6: Cres
Today you’ll visit the island of Cres, once part of Mali Losinj. Explore the medieval town at your own pace, seeing the three town gates. This evening, enjoy the Captain’s Dinner
Day 7: Opatija
This morning, sail back to Opatija, arriving just after lunch. Embark on a walking tour with a local guide to learn about the town’s history, seeing its landmarks and monuments along the way. After, you’ll be able to explore independently.
Day 8: Return home
Disembark the yacht and transfer to the airport for your flight home.
